❤ I had my granddaughter come in here and not only hear how good you sound but to see the hello Kitty guitar! awesome. I wanna say this to Brad you’re so kind and respectful to everybody who comes to the channel. This is really a wonderful place of people and you really are a talented, good man.
I always assumed Squiers were crap and/or inferior to MIM Fenders. That changed about 5 years ago when I picked up a 2018 Squier contemporary HSS strat in pearl white metallic with a black pickguard. As for the overall look, think Jake E Lee's strat, or Schon's "Nights" strat (which he sold). Great guitar with a 12" radius rosewood board (I think the last Squier model to have a rosewood board), pickups sound good, non locking trem and stays in tune well. I did add locking tuners. The fret work is perfect, level, no sharp ends. I love that guitar and I play it all the time. So after I bought that one and got my feet wet with Squier I went ahead and picked up the Squier Contemporary HH FR strat in gun metal blue with a roasted maple neck with a 12" radius. Beautiful guitar and again perfect fret work. The frets are level, no sharp ends, pickups sounds fine. I've checked out a bunch of post 2020 MIM Fenders and Charvels and the QC was horrible. The fret work I've seen on many of those is dogsh*t. In fact I bought a 2022 San Dimas and I returned the first one due to horrendous QC and I had to get a replacement. I still had to do some fret work on the replacement but I got it new for 30% off so I did the work myself. I tell people learn how to fix things yourself and more importantly work on your playing and you can make even the cheapest guitar sound good. More expensive definitely doesn't mean better quality with some brands.
The volume pot is prob fine. Kramers had same problem on their 1 pickup cheapy, and it was the treble bleed circuit. The capacitor wired to the pot, guys just clipped them off and the pot worked right. See if it has one on there.
@ It reminds me of my Kramer when the straplock broke, hitting the ground and breaking off neck. I replaced the neck with a fender strat neck off my girlfriends ex husbands guitar.
Love it , lmao . I am holding out for an "iron Giant" Version for my Grand daughter. Your Golf Cart riding HOA president is watching this video and sharing it while scheduling a meeting about YOU hahahahaha "Mr Bad , we need to speak with you "
It would be more versatile if it had one for sure....but there is something cool about the sound of a guitar wired straight to the volume knob. Ask EVH.
Cool guitar, was thinking about purchasing one for an long term investment but just not sure if it will be worth money 15-20 yrs from now or not. I think Hello Kitty may go out of fashion in the future because the kitty face really has no character to it really. Kind of a stale image. In other words, we seem to be living in a 'bad art' era which could turn around one day.
I think the fact that it is such an ironic rock guitar and the previous version was not as nice and they went for triple what they cost. I bought 2 we shall see….

Dude, this guitar rips! And i love how you shred it too! You just made my day
It is a lot of fun to play.
finally Fender re-issued it and before I tried to snag the white one, it was already sold out! HAHA!
Killer vid, Brad as always!
Thank you!
They went all out w that. Wouldn't surprise me if they start making a mim version. Even a custom gig bag w it.
They have a custom all pink gig bag but it’s $199.
"It's not the wand, it's the wizard"
Thank you

Oh man! They need to do ☝️
Lol!
Watched Ola Englund this morning and he was talking it, but said there wasn’t a way to get one to Sweden.
@bryanterry415 Ola is cool. I remember watching a video of him visiting Dimebag Darrell's house.
Sounds good.
Thank you!
I seen John 5 playing a Hello Kitty guitar.
Sweet
i see a red door and i want it painted black.
Yes
I want one, that’s a nice neck
It is awesome!
@ It reminds me of my Kramer when the straplock broke, hitting the ground and breaking off neck. I replaced the neck with a fender strat neck off my girlfriends ex husbands guitar.
Oh man!
This limited edition is very freaking limited. They made but 500 white and 500 pink. Why make so few when demand is so high? It makes no sense.
It is what it is.
LMAO that's wild.
Thanks Bro!
I was born in 1973. I wish you were my neighbor.

"Mr Bad , we need to speak with you "
It really needs a tone pot!!!

Hello kitty is 50 years old?
I think the fact that it is such an ironic rock guitar and the previous version was not as nice and they went for triple what they cost. I bought 2 we shall see….
For $500
What a P.O.S for Sucker's.

@badbrad you bragging about a over priced POS
What else do you need to know.
Have a great day!
Stratocaster’s are ugly. I never really cared for them, but I would really love a tele if they make one of hello kitty
They should....
