The new Loog × Sanrio collaboration centres on a trio of compact, beginner-focused instruments: a mini three-string version of the cult favourite Hello Kitty Strat, complete with pickup and jack and two Loog Mini Acoustics in pink and white, each dressed in Hello Kitty artwork.
Every instrument also comes shipped with educational flashcards and access to Loog’s learning app, giving young learners everything they need to turn curiosity into actual chord progress.
“Cute, colourful, and totally beginner-friendly, these guitars are the ultimate first-instrument gift for kids ready to strum their very first songs!” says Loog.
The release follows Fender’s own Hello Kitty Stratocaster reissue last year, launched in celebration of the character’s 50th anniversary. That drop reignited the frenzy surrounding one of Fender’s most unexpected cult hits.
Originally introduced in 2006 as the Squier Hello Kitty Stratocaster, the model went largely under the radar at first, until YouTuber TheDooo began featuring it in viral Omegle jam videos in the late 2010s. According to Reverb, searches for the six-string skyrocketed, and resale prices followed suit, jumping from around $275 to an average of $700 – a 254 percent increase.
Fender’s 2024 relaunch offered two versions: the Squier Limited Edition Hello Kitty Stratocaster priced at $499, and the premium Made in Japan Fender Limited Edition Hello Kitty Stratocaster, exclusive to Tokyo’s flagship store and priced around $2,145.
Now, Loog’s partnership with Sanrio brings that same pop-culture energy to a younger audience, trading full-scale nostalgia for smaller frets and beginner-friendly fun. With the Hello Kitty craze alive and well, these new Loog guitars might just inspire the next generation of players (or collectors) one adorable riff at a time.
