The special collection takes the iconic instruments by Fender and adorns them with Hello Kitty emblems. The two maintain the brand's commitment to premium quality whilst also infusing the charm of the beloved character. The highlight of the collaboration is the Stratocaster which is complete in glossy pink or white coatings. The guitar is entirely reimagined to celebrate the predecessor from 20 years ago complete with Hello Kitty's signature motifs. Beyond the guitars, the capsule is also comprised of a range of music equipment and accessories. A spotlight shines on the Fuzz Pedal which has the same palette and witch hat knobs.
