The Daisy Rock Pixie Acoustic Guitar

Tired of the endless sea of boring brown acoustic guitars, Daisy Rock proudly spices it up with the Pixie Acoustic-Electric guitar. Available in four colors, two of which are offered in left handed design. Featuring Daisy Rock’s trademark lightweight body and slimmer, easy-to-hold necks, the Pixie highlights innate femininity and uncompromised quality.

Top-of-the-line features include a rounded composite back like the Ovation guitars, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, pearloid Daisy inlays, and D’Addario strings. Other quality features include Grover tuners for rock-solid tuning, a custom Piezo pickup system, 2-band active EQ for a beautiful plugged-in sound, and even a built-in electronic tuner for total convenience!

Be sure to drop buy and take a closer look!

The Daisy Rock Siren

At first glance this small scale guitar was a bit toyish to me… until I plugged it in. Siren, The Awesome Girls Guitar

Now I know this was built for girls, but for a guy who has worked hard enough to have arthritis in his fingers before 40, this scale is a godsend! Of course, I might have to paint it… heh or not!

Anyway, this guitar has some serious tone. I ran it through a Peavey Bandit, one of the older ones with a Sheffield 12 and picked up my old Digitech RP10. I had some sweet tones with just a basic of tweeking, and I am a tone hound!

Then I plugged it in to my bass amp, a ’70s Peavey 400 using the top channel and running through two 15″ Black Widows in a cleaned up upright box.

Now we had some tone! I was playing with decent bluesy grunt while keeping the shimmer at the bridge, then I drop D’ed the poor little thing and went for a chug ride.

You might want a bigger E if you went lower than D, because D is a bit buzzy, but then what guitar doesn’t.

I might get some awesome sounds out of her with a restring and some time playing with a setup, but out of the box this guitar will be perfect for little fingers trying to learn Green Day…
