Daisy Rock!!!

[Empty Pockets]

My girlfriend showed me a site with these guitars the other day and all I can say is THIS STUFF'S AWESOME. I want one so much it makes me squeek just thinking about it. Anybody have any experience with these things?

And yes, I'm perfectly comfortable with my masculinity so playing a heart-shaped guitar on stage is no deal for me :fing25:

Re: Daisy Rock!!!

I have to say, the cloud shaped one and the heart shaped one look a bit crap for high fret access. I've seen a cloud one in a shop not long ago. I thought girls had smaller hands (as a rough rule of thumb), so why make fret access hard?

The rock candy special in blue shimmer looks quite nice though, I have to admit:

Tune-o-matic string through body, mahogany body and neck, quilted maple carved top, rosewood fretboard, start fret markers, a coil tap for the humbuckers (Duncan Designed)......

....Dammit! 3 sentences and you've almost converted me! :laugh2:

Re: Daisy Rock!!!

That Stardust Series "Retro-H" looks great in Ice Blue.

I'd consider buying a guitar like that, but just the idea that you can make a guitar "for girls" seems absurd. The web site says "many boys and men play them too" but the marketing of these things doesn't sit well with me. I'm all for empowering girls to play guitar, don't misunderstand, because I think there's far too much bullsh*t testosterone floating around in the guitar playing world...
Anyway, I couldn't play the guitars because I disagree with their company philosophy.

...

You know what, screw it, the first chance I get I'm buying a Retro H in Ice Blue.

Awesome, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinkin these things are great...haha

And upper fret access is no problem when you're only playin powerchords anything...I'd be usin the custom Strat I'm building for anything I'd wanna show off with.

Re: Daisy Rock!!!

It's really funny that you'd say all that stuff about the EMGs and heavy strings 'cuz that was actually my plan for it, sans the Floyd Rose...hahaha

Re: Daisy Rock!!!

I've played them (shop was a dealer for a while) and they aren't bad at all. Right in line with the rest of Samick's stuff (The designer is the wife of Samick's prez, as I recall). They're quite playable and very usable. Perfect for something simple to noodle around on or maybe to have a different vibe on stage.

Re: Daisy Rock!!!

there was one of those heart shaped guitars in one of the guitar shops near me. i picked it up, did a couple solos on it

EVERYONE IN A 20 FOOT RADIUS WAS STARING AT ME

"dude, you realize your playing a heart, right?"

"i'm quite aware, friend"

"you've got balls bro'"

"yes... yes i do..." :laugh2:

The way I see it, there aren't a whole lot of women guitar heros out there for girls to latch onto like boys do. As the father of 2...possibly 3...girls, if one of my daughters wants to play the guitar because it's "pretty" or "cute", then that's just fine with me.

When & if they got better, well.......I'm sure there's a Tele out there that needs a new home!!! :13:
