I tried out a Mary Kay Stratocaster once. It was painted in pink. Mary Kay Pink. Very cool! OTOH, a Mary Kay Strat had nothing to do with a Mary Kaye Strat. Mary Kaye was a Hawaiian lady that had a popular lounge act back in the 50's. Mary Kaye might have even started the Las Vegas style lounge act. Not bad for a humble Hawaiian. I think the Mary Kaye Strat was one of the first artist model guitar put out by Fender.
