Standard guitars are often too big and bulky for the female frame, especially that of a budding young musician. Daisy Rock offers a line of products that are lightweight and specifically designed to accommodate the shorter arms and smaller hands of girls and women (or boys and men). Daisy Rock Guitars also have a slim neck profile that makes playing easier, and a contour in the body design for comfort. The guitars - acoustic, bass, and electric - come in a variety of fun designs and colors. Short-scale guitars are best for children ages six to 10, while full-scale Artist, Acoustic, Rock Candy, Tom Boy, and Stardust Series models are better for ages 10 and up. Most models are also available for left-handed players. Our dark pink, glittery Daisy Rock Rock Candy electric guitar was greeted with wide-eyed awe; the wow factor was palpable. It's an impressive-looking, sturdy piece of equipment - not a toy, but a real guitar - that came with a strap, an electronic tuner, a small amplifier, a case, picks, an instructional DVD, and maintenance items. When choosing a Daisy Rock Guitar (or any instrument) for a child, it's important to check the product's specifications and consider the child's size and age. The Rock Candy model we tried is probably best suited for kids the size of an average 12-year-old or larger; younger kids had trouble reaching some of the frets and holding the instrument properly. The printed instructions and the DVD that came with our guitar were useful for tuning the instrument and learning basic fingering, but beginners will require lessons and/or additional training materials to learn to play. Overall, we were impressed with the quality - and the utter coolness - of Daisy Rock Guitars. The specially designed instruments are a good choice for experienced guitarists and serious beginners on the road to rock. Daisy Rock Guitars are available through various online retailers and guitar dealers nationwide. Visit the website for a complete list of locations.
