Been waiting a long time for one of these come up for sale locally. I'm not usually a big matching headstock fan, but this one is gorgeous!

I dig this one, but mostly because my kid was a huge Hello Kitty fan in her younger days, so I picked this up. To turn it into a dependable, playable (at a gig) guitar took a lot of work, but it's a sizzler of a guitar now!

I'm not interested in having any other pink guitars right now, but if I came across one that had the right specs, it wouldn't bother me to own it.

I very much want that version of the Hello Kitty Squiers. I like pink guitars. They look cool.

Oh yes, I do! Mine is actually Burgundy Mist Metallic - but also very pink.
Top Bound Jaguar - based on the 60s prototype - (sunburst with the angled bridge pickup - but never got a pickguard cut for that use). Squier CV neck with matching headstock. I‘m still looking for white roller knobs.

currently equipped with Surf 90s.

"Aged" white ok? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385017165384

If not, you could order these in "White Processed":

Thanks Tqi!
Both look great. Completely forgot about the ones from Shapeway!

The switches are more white, as is the body binding and the pickguard… while the neck binding and the knobs are more cream… (which already bugs me a bit… —

Installed a new staytrem bridge, a pair of Sunday Hand Wound pickups and a black strap… stoked!

1961 refinished in Shell Pink many years before it came to me. Had tortoise shell pickguard, but I like it a lot better with the white guard.

i found this guitar in the background of a listing for something else on Craigslist about 12 years ago… major score.
