Neat! I played one of those in a shop years ago and was surprised at how good it sounded. Also, in before the obligatory "hurrr you should play it in a death metal band l0lz" joke.

Re: Incoming NGD. Hello Kitty.
I have a bizarre attraction to these guitars.
I totally get it.

Re: Incoming NGD. Hello Kitty.
I used to have a Hannah Montana guitar. It was a 3/4 Telecaster(ish) thing. It was surprisingly adequate, but I always thought a Hello Kitty Strat was way cooler.

Update - canceled the purchase... my heart and mind both slapped me at the same time for being selfish, and instead sent my dad in PR two super high powered flashlights and rechargeable batteries.

As much as we all love guitars here, I don't think anyone will argue with that.mkt3000 wrote:Update - canceled the purchase... my heart and mind both slapped me at the same time for being selfish, and instead sent my dad in PR two super high powered flashlights and rechargeable batteries.

Re: Incoming NGD. Hello Kitty.
Update. Yesterday the seller reached out to me and offered to take another $20 off. I spoke about it for a bit with my fiancee on the phone, and decided to get it.
I got it. Cleaned it, put new strings on it, and gave it a set up. It plays well, and it's so weird it's cool. And it sounds good as is - pickup has a lo-fi garage-y vibe.
And here's the reason I got it. First, I won't say what I paid for it.
I'm gonna keep it for a few days/weeks, laugh like an idiot while I play it, then flip it here or elsewhere, and after my costs are covered - I will donate the any earnings to Puerto Rico relief, either as a direct donation, or use the winnings to buy supplies to send there. Don't worry - it will be reasonably priced.
And now, a pic:

Re: Incoming NGD. Hello Kitty.
i've mentioned this before on here but when i tried one of these. i was surprised how amazing it was. it had it plugged into my deluxe 90, a proco rat and a pharaoh class a boost. sounded trashy but with a strange focus to the sound. the strange thing was i borrowed it for a gig that night and got the typical responses. "haha, nice toy, can you play death metal on it?"

Re: Incoming NGD. Hello Kitty.
Seems relevant to update this.
It sold semi-locally for $100 more than I paid for it. ie - A tourist from Mexico in Miami found it on craigslist and bought it.
I took that money and used it to pay for shipping on 5 large priority mail flat rate boxes filled with non-perishable goods that were sent.
1 box went to my fiancée and her family, and the other four boxes were split between a brewery and a local music venue that suspended their operations and turned into free community kitchens.
