I got a caparison dellinger, because the neck is thinner and I don't need to reach a lot with my tiny hands to make chords! Really love how it sounds, as it's got bareknuckle pickups in it.]]> The Other Side Gem https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/3/#post-354157 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/3/#post-346380 Mon, 18 Jan 2010 04:22:06 +0000 The Other Side takamineprincess https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/3/#post-346380 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/3/#post-339244 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 22:16:46 +0000
I never look for guitars that are specifically designed for women. But being only 5'1" and having small hands, I do look for a smaller body, a shorter scale, and a narrower neck.

I play a lot of fingerstyle. My primary guitar is a Gibson LC-1. Unfortunately, they're not in production anymore. It's an acoustic-electric cutaway with a fabulous tone for its small body. Scale: 24.75-inch. Nut width: 1 11/16 inches. String spacing at the bridge: 2 3/16 inches.

I also have an Epiphone Dot semi-hollow body electric. It's a bit heavy and has a bigger body than I would like. It has a different sound than the Gibson and I mostly play it when I'm accompanying my community chorus and need that sound or need more volume. I have an old Yamaha FG-75 that's my beater camping guitar. It's short scale and 3/4 size. And I have a cheap Yamaha electric that I don't play much anymore since I got the Dot. My oldest guitar is an Epiphone FT-145. Because it's too big for me, it never gets played. And that's the key. "Girl guitar" or not, if you're not comfortable with your instrument, you won't play it.]]> The Other Side Hobson https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/3/#post-339244 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/3/#post-339211 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 08:03:07 +0000 Is it only the colors what makes it girly? I did some research on Daisy Rock when I was looking to buy a guitar.

From what I can tell, the major difference is that they have a slimmer neck and they're supposed to be lightweight. According to their website, they also claim the guitars have some kind of contour in the body design that makes them fit a woman's body better too. I'm not sure how that works since I couldn't actually find one to test out. I think they have a fairly limited line of acoustic guitars anyway, which is what I was looking for. So at that point I didn't get too bent trying to track one down.

The idea of a guitar scaled for women appeals to me because I am only 5'1 and overall I'm a pretty small person. On the other hand, I found that there are plenty of smaller-sized guitars that were very comfortable for me to play. I ended up buying an auditorium style guitar, which is on the smaller side.

I might check out Daisy Rock out when I go to buy an electric, because I've heard the quality is pretty good on them and they're reasonably priced. But I'm also not extremely hung up on looking for a "girl guitar" anymore now that I've seen that there are so many options that would probably work.

For posterity, I ended up going with a Martin 000X1. This is the one that has the HPL (fake wood) sides and back, but it still sounded better than anything else I tried by a mile and it has a great feel to it. I ended up really loving this guitar and play it constantly. I mean, from the back I guess it sort of looks like a cheap kitchen counter, but I won't really hold that against it. :twisted:]]> The Other Side ayms https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/3/#post-339211 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/3/#post-338363 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:04:48 +0000 I see some of you have more than one guitar...could you give me some feedback about them?
Why is your favorite, your favourite?
What are the features of the Daisy rock?....I visited the website, but it doesn't have much information.

This is interesting, i didn't know there were girl-guitars :shock: ...hahaha. I just bought my first one in march this year, it is a Xiphos, from the Ibanez, black colour. I loved the design when I first saw it (on a catalog), now I still like it a lot, but the neck still coming down everytime when i play standing....is some kind of a hassle. On me, looks a bit big I think.

Rock on' girls!]]> The Other Side barbiesteel https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/3/#post-338199 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/2/#post-250730 Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:13:05 +0000

I suppose my compact version of the current line of Ibanez exotic wood acoustics could be considered a "made-for-girls" guitar, as it's definatly a lot more comfortable for my arm's reach than the full sized model. I'm guessing it was at least subliminally Ibanez' intention, though I've never seen it marketed directly at the female market. In their ad's they've only got the fellas playing them. It works for me, though :)]]> The Other Side heatherjocey https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/2/#post-250568 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/2/#post-250429 Tue, 26 Jun 2007 20:16:49 +0000 The Other Side Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/2/#post-250429 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/2/#post-248894 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 04:51:17 +0000 The Other Side medarrah https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/what-do-you-play/paged/2/#post-248894
