Been loving the Facebook marketplace. Scored this Hello Kitty Strat in mint condition for £150
Still has the protective plastic on the RR cover and the original CE sticker. I bet it's been played once. The girl I bought it from got it 10 years ago when she was 10 and gave up guitar shortly afterwards. Came with a little practice amp too.
Also got this awesome '77 Ibanez SG. Looks to have a replacement bridge, tuners and knobs and the rear route cover is missing (I'll just cut another on the CNC).
Finish is a holoflake on black and is pretty beat up. Someone has tried to strip it in the past. I might try a refin or just leave it as is. It has a cool vibe. I dunno if they made these from the factory in holoflake or whether it's a refin already.
No major dents, frets are good - need a level but still lots of height in them. Pots and jack are perfect. It's obviously been played regularly, it's well set up.
Plays really well too, sounds superb. I'm guessing it's a BRW fretboard. Probably African mahogany (she's heavy). Bolt on neck. A couple of cracks in the neck binding, but the inlays are MOP and very precise.
I only paid £110 which I think is a great deal.
