Are Daisy Rock acoustic-electric guitars any good?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 85/100. not4me (1315) 5 years ago

I'm trying to decide between an Ibanez and a similar looking Daisy Rock guitar. I have small hands so I'm looking for a slightly thinner neck. I know Ibanez basses have thinner necks and their guitars seem to be built the same way. Can any women give me a review on Daisy Rock's stuff?

I'm not a woman (but I have really small hands) and I've never played the Daisy Rock guitar; but I can tell you with out a doubt that you can never go wrong with an Ibanez, for cost, sound, durability and playability.

The only drawback to them is that while they do have thin necks they are wide, so your best bet is to play a few and see which feels the most comfortable.

That being said, I'm sure that your hand size isn't a factor; most women have bigger hands than I do and I'm a professional guitarist who can play a base guitar as well. You can do it, I have no doubt. :)

I hope that helps.

It does help thank you. BTW, sorry for deleting your friend request before. I hit delete on accident because I'm so used to deleting random people.

Anyhoo, I looove Ibanez basses because the transition is smooth from the head stock to the neck (easy sliding) and because of the thin neck. I noticed on Musician's Friend that the neck on this one Ibanez acoustic-electric guitar looked just like my bass's neck. I live about an hour away from the nearest music store and haven't had the time to try anything out.

Thanks for your opinion, it really helped and I think I'll go ahead and get that purdy blue starburst Ibanez AE model from MF.

BTW, since your hands are so small, how did you adjust to playing F and B chords? Just curious because I still have a hard time hitting those with my avg-sized hands. Was there a trick to it? Thanks :D

I think you will be happy with it, the last ibanez accoustic I played, played like an electric guitar. BTW before you order from musicians friend, check out http://www.music123.com they usually have better prices and I've never had any problems with them.

As for playing the tricky chords it just takes practice. I have a degree in classical guitar performance, so not only did I have to play all kinds of funky chords, I had to do it on a neck thats a good 2-3 inches thicker. ;)

I too like Ibanez'es, but I most recently am having fun with a cheap Washburn I picked up in a pawn shop. I can attest that hand size is a limiting factor, as mine are about the average of a woman, and it still hurts my wrist after 27 years of playing to make an "F".
