Top 10 Guitars For Girls Cary Jun 7th
From Saccharin-Sweet To Seriously Bad-Ass…

At least a few times a month I get asked to recommend an electric guitar built specifically for girls (smaller size, lighter weight, slimmer neck profile,) so I thought it would be fun, and perhaps even *gasp!* informative to list my top-ten electric guitar picks for female guitarists.

Unfortunately, the number of quality “girl guitar” manufacturers can be counted on one hand: Daisy Rock, Luna, Squier, Gibson, and Epiphone (there may be others, but I’m not aware of them.) The good news though, is that there are more options than ever for women and girls who want to purchase a quality instrument designed specifically to meet their needs.

So without further ado, here are my personal picks for the Top 10 Guitars For Girls for 2006–

1.) Gibson Les Paul Goddess

Choosing the #1 guitar on our list of great “girl” guitars was basically a no-brainer – Gibson’s legendary Les Paul is known the world over for its rich, raw sound and seriously bad-ass looks, and the newly introduced Les Paul Goddess is no exception.

While the Les Paul Goddess definitely provides all the bite and style you’ve come to expect from a classic Les Paul, it does so with a lot more finnesse, and with a number of innovations designed specifically for the female form – not to mention a plethora of unique finishes. To keep it authentic, a pair of 490R & 498T humbucker pickups ensures that this so-called “girl” guitar carries on that historic Les Paul tone.

Features Include: a smaller-sized, lighter-weight mahogany body, narrow nut/slim-taper neck (easier on smaller hands,) carved maple top, ebony fretboard with white binding, and of course a pair of powerful but pretty translucent humbucker pickups (490R & 498T.)

2.) Daisy Rock Stardust Elite Venus


At the other end of the price spectrum from the Les Paul Goddess is Daisy Rock’s Stardust Elite Venus – a gorgeous looking double-cutaway instrument that is getting great reviews across the board.

Daisy Rock is a company dedicated solely to creating quality guitars for girls, and as such has garnered a lot of attention for their high-quality instruments and very reasonable price range. The Stardust Venus Elite may be a bit fancy on the outside (hehe, it’s absolutely drowning in pearloid!) but it also packs a pair of high-output humbuckers for some serious rock & roll fun.

Features Include: a pearloid top, mahogany body & neck, rosewood fingerboard with “Vines ‘N Flowers” inlays, abalone binding, tune-o-matic bridge, master volume knob, push-pull “Tone-Tap” master tone control (adds extra tonal variations,) and dual Daisy Rock High-Output Humbucker pickups.

3.) Squier Hello Kitty Stratocaster


For those on a tighter budget – and with a healthy love of all things Sanrio – is Squier’s cutesy but kickin’ Hello Kitty Stratocaster. A little over-the-top you might ask? Perhaps, but this bubble-gum pink beauty still packs some nice features for a sub $200 guitar.

Of course, if you’re not a Hello Kitty fan you’re probably running away screaming, because this thing is pure “Kitty” through and through: custom Hello Kitty pickguard, scripty Hello Kitty logo on the back of the pink model (the black model apparently sports a Hello Kitty collage logo on the back,) and even pink or black fingerboard dot inlays.

Features Include: an agathis body, maple “C”-shaped neck, maple fretboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets, a single humbucking pickup at the bridge, single volume control, die-cast tuners, 6-saddle strings-through-body bridge, and that super cool vintage-’60s style oversized headstock.

4.) Gibson SG Goddess


For number four on our list we head back to Gibson, whose SG Goddess follows in the footsteps of the classic “devil horned” SG, albeit with a slimmer, sexier mahogany body, and a host of female-oriented finishes, including: Sky Burst (shown here,) Rose Burst , Ebony, Violet Burst, and Ice Burst.

Like its sibling the Les Paul Goddess, the SG Goddess doesn’t lose much in translation, and apparently still manages to crank out the kind of growl you’d expect from a classic SG – due mostly to a pair of red-hot 490R & 498T Alnico magnet humbucker pickups.

Features Include: a slim mahogany SG body, a narrow-nut/slim taper mahogany neck, Madagascar heather ebony fingerboard with pearloid inlays, compensated wrap-around bridge, 490R & 498T Alnico humbuckers, master volume & tone controls, and 3-way pickup switching.

5.) Daisy Rock Tom Boy


Another solid girl-guitar offering from Daisy Rock is the rather surf-styled Tom Boy – what I take to be Daisy Rock’s answer to the always-popular Fender Telecaster (both in shape, and basic pickup/bridge set-up.)

Like many of the guitars listed here the Tom Boy sports a slim body (agathis) and a slim-profile neck (maple) built specifically to accommodate the female form, but it may well be the most versatile guitar of the bunch, too, due to a pair of 3-way tone-tap switches which are said to allow for a surprising number of pickup/tone variations (something most Telecasters can only dream of.)

Features Include: a slim agathis body, slim-profile maple bolt-on neck, rosewood or maple fretboard with 22 frets, 6-saddle string through-body bridge, Grover tuners, Duncan-designed Alnico stacked single-coil and humbucker pickups (bridge & neck respectively,) two volume controls, master tone control, and a pair of 3-way tone-tap Switches.

6.) Epiphone Emily The Strange G310


Epiphone managed to get on the bandwagon of “character guitars” with their exclusive Emily The Strange G310 – basically a limited edition model of their standard G310, which in-turn is Epiphone’s less-expensive answer to the classic Gibson SG… are you confused yet?

As you can see, it sports some seriously swirly body & headstock graphics of everybody’s favorite anti-socialite, Emily The Strange, but perhaps its coolest feature is the pair of pearl cat’s eyes inlays at the twelfth fret… nice touch! It also comes with an Emily-decorated guitar strap & gig-bag.

Features Include: Unfortunately, exact specs have been difficult to find, but the standard G310 specs are likely to be correct, including an alder body, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, a pair of open-coil humbuckers, two each volume & tone controls, and 3-way pickup switching.

7.) Gibson Les Paul Vixen


Gibson’s Les Paul Vixen is a simple, light-weight “girl” guitar that looks similar to the popular Les Paul Studio, but with a slimmer body design and a slim-taper ‘60s-shaped neck. It’s built to provide the same bone-jarring tone of a standard Les Paul, but with a decidedly easier to handle profile.

One of the things that made the Les Paul Studio stand out so much was its stripped-down appearance, and the Les Paul Vixen follows in its footsteps, with a simple but stylish finish, and a total lack of fancy binding, etc. It does, however, still sport the classic hardware that makes a Les Paul a Les Paul.

Features Include: a light-weight mahogany body, mahogany slim taper neck, rosewood fretboard with diamond inlays, 490R & 498T Gibson humbucker pickups, volume & tone controls, 3-way pickup switching, Grover kidney tuning machines, wraparound bridge, and black top-hat knobs.

8.) Daisy Rock Rock Candy Custom Special


Daisy Rock has absolutely dominated this Top 10 Guitars For Girls list, and for good reason – they’re currently the number one guitar manufacturer dedicated specifically to building guitars for girls, and also to changing the popular opinion that electric guitars are somehow just for the boys.

One of their guitars that’s been getting lots of attention is the Rock Candy Custom Special, an instrument with both feminine styling, and hard rockin’ hardware. Among other things it sports a uniquely contoured top, a string-through-body bridge (which should help increase sustain,) and a pair of Duncan-designed Detonator humbucker pickups.

Features Include: a mahogany body with contoured top, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with star inlays, a TonePros tune-o-matic bridge, black binding, black hardware, grover tuning machines, Detonator Humbuckers, master volume & Tone-Tap controls, 3-way pickup switching, and of course that matte black finish & pretty pink star.

Honorable Mention:

9.) Luna Andromeda


The final two guitars on our list are from Luna, a company which, like Daisy Rock, is building guitars exclusively for girls. I put them last on the list not because of a lack of quality on their part, but only because I have yet to play one myself, and have had no luck finding any reviews of their guitars. That said, their website promises that a number of leading guitar publications are slated to review their instruments in the summer of 2006 (if you’re listening Luna, we’d be happy to review one for you!)

The Luna Andromeda is apparently Luna’s hard-rockin’ electric solid-body, and looks like it was built for some serious shredding – I say this because among other goodies it sports a Floyd Rose locking tremolo, which many will tell you is a string-bender’s dream. On top of that it’s got a petite neck profile (perfect for smaller female hands,) and cool mother-of-pearl inlays that represent the different phases of the moon.

Features Include: a double-cutaway sculpted basswood body, maple petite-profile neck, rosewood fretboard with “moon phase” inlays, Licensed Floyd Rose locking tremolo tailpiece, a pair of humbucker pickups, volume & tone controls, 3-way pickup switching, sealed matte nickel tuning machines.

10.) Luna Athena Hollowbody


Finishing up the list is Luna’s Athena Electric Hollowbody, which looks to be a quality guitar for those girls & ladies who prefer the warm tone and retro good looks of a classic hollowbodied instrument. While Daisy Rock offers one of its own, in my opinion the Athena is the first truly great looking Hollowbody built exclusively for the female guitar market.

Like the other Luna guitars, this one sports a petite neck profile, and is sized to better fit the female form (it is also said to be exceptionally light-weight.) Other noteworthy features are a pair of warm mini-humbucker pickups, top-edge “moon phase” fretboard inlays, two lovely finishes (sun mist & aqua mist,) and an almost art-deco styled matte nickel tailpiece.

Features Include: a single cutaway lightweight basswood hollow body, set petite-profile maple neck, rosewood fretboard with “phase of the moon” inlays, matte nickel Tune-O-Matic bridge & tailpiece, mini humbucker pickups, 3-way pickup switching, super-light construction.


Putting It All Together

Well, there you have it – Electric Guitar Review’s Top 10 Guitars For Girls. My only gripe is with Gibson (don’t even get me started on Squier,) who in spite of producing some of the highest-quality instruments on this list, have inexplicably decided that they need to dumb-down their “girl” guitars with just a single tone & volume control – a rookie move if they’re serious about winning the hearts & minds of today’s female musicians.


Girls rock too! Enough said…

THE TOP 12 HOTTEST FEMALE GUITARISTS EVER In the Klingon sense, there is no honor in loving Jewel.

Sure, it may be a little sexist, but this list had to be created. It took lots of back and forth emails between editors, heated arguments over a week’s worth of happy hours and brutal rounds of scissors-paper-rock, but I, with the help of Alex V. Cook whittled down the list. Behold, the world’s 12 Sexiest Female Guitar Players ever. You know where to send the hate mail.



12. Jewel
Band: Jewel
In the Klingon sense, there is no honor in loving Jewel. What started out as a sweet Lisa Loeb upgrade invading the pop scene, things went quickly downhill with her accepting her inner poet and then her inner pop tart. But, much as I might be loathe to admit it, those first couple songs of hers always warm my heart when I hear them on the piped-in at the grocery store. And frankly, those snaggle-teeth totally do it for me.
Weapon of Choice: an array of Martin acoustics
Career Highpoint: her first album and its sweet folky country-ish songs, and her later rampant insane stage persona

Fun Fact: Hmmm, she doesn't seem all that fun actually.



11. Joan Jett
Band: Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
C'mon. When Joan Jett came on the scene everyone was turned on. She was the quintessential rocker chick, and that was before we were, as a people, aware of her past in the Runaways. I mean, her songs were either covers or aggro pop dross, and actually I don't know what she's been doing for the last quarter century, but none of that matters. She is the hot chick David Johansen wanted to be in the New York Dolls but couldn't acheive, so he had to give it up for Buster-dom and that folk-singer shit he did.
Weapon of Choice: Gibson Les Paul

Career Highpoint: She informed us decades ago that she indeed loved Rock-n-Roll and despite having only two other hits, every adult in the US probably has a clear idea who Joan Jett is.

Fun Fact: Is impossibly hotter now that she was 25 years ago. And though I am not a lesbian, I would still wear a W.W J.J.D. t-shirt.



10. Poison Ivy
Band: The Cramps


Surely it's her choice of guitars that make Ivy so hot -- sure, any chick can pick a Les Paul or a shitty Stratocaster, but you have to know your shit to pick a decent arsenal of guitars and have the ability to play them.

Weapon of Choice: A plethora of vintage Gretch hollow body guitars, but her vintage 1958 Gretch Chet Atkins 6120 is her go-to ax.
Career Highpoint: None yet, but were all still waiting.
Fun Fact: Played her first gig in a mental hospital. She once accidentially kicked off a high heel, narrowly missing Alex V. Cook's head at a show in New Orleans. Fortuneately, Lux had an extra pair in his stage kit.



9. Juliana Hatfield

Band: The Blake Babies, The Juliana Hatfield Three, Solo

It must have been the summer of 1993 – I was working at a Tower Records in Anaheim and a copy of Hatfield’s “Become What You Are” was in the promo bin. While the manager was on a cocaine break in her office, I stole the promo disc. Coincidently, I was in my strange female-guitarist phase and instantly fell in love with Hatfield’s endearingly thin voice. Plus, she looked a little like Jamie, a girl that had just ripped the still-beating heart from my chest and dropkicked it in the toilet. A stalker/musician relationship was born that day and even though she only charts in at number nine, there’s still a small bit of me that thinks she may have made top five.

Weapon of Choice: The Gibson Les Paul Standard and the SG

Career Highpoint: It’s a tie: The cover of Sassy magazine/her guest stint on the melancholy teen-cult hit, “My So-Called Life.”

Fun Fact: Although she maintains she was a virgin in her early years as a rockstar (up until the mid-90’s) she forgets to mention that she and fellow Bostonian Even Dando used to bang all the time.


8. Kathleen Hanna

Band: Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, The Fakes, Helter Skillet, Viva Knievel, Wondertwins, Suture, The Troublemakers


It’s obvious Kathleen has absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever and she’d surely be pissed off if she knew she was on a “hottest female guitarist” list, but oh well. She’s cute and smart and Le Tigre gets better with every release – I just wouldn’t want to date her. Lighten up, baby – it’s only rock and roll and yes, I like it. Is it any wonder why her current boyfriend, Beastie Boy’s Adam Horovitz, is always on tour?
Weapon of Choice: Kathellen's been known to use a 1965 Gibson Melody Maker.

Career Highpoint: The whole Riot Grrrl thing -- she didn't start the movement, but she was the most famous person to come out of it.

Fun Fact: While they were backstage at the Lollapalooza music festival in Washington, D.C. on July 4, 1995 Courtney Love flicked a cigarette at Hanna, pelted her with candy, and punched her in the face. Hanna pressed charges and Love ultimately pleaded guilty to assault later that September.




7. Ruyter Suys

Band: Nashville Pussy

I’ve never heard a Nashville Pussy song in my life and frankly, I really don’t ever want to either. But I will tell you one thing, Ruyter Suys is one of the hottest and filthiest female guitarists ever. She fulfills my woman jailbreak fantasy.

Weapon of Choice: The Gibson SG

Career Highpoint: The point of every live Nashville Pussy gig when lead singer Blaine Cartwright pulls Ruyter’s head back – while she’s on her knees mind you – and forces a bottle of beer down her throat as she proceeds to guzzle its entire barley-based contents.

Fun Fact: She claims that the reason why she plays guitar is because of Courtney Love – not because Love’s her idol, but for the opposite reason. "Courtney gives women a bad name in rock ‘n roll and uses her guitar as a necklace not as an instrument." She follows that statement up with this: "Being a woman in a band can be hard sometimes because people will never look at me for my musicianship, they'll always look at the boobs.” Did I mention she only plays gigs in lace bras and leather pants and the leather pants usually come off mid-set? Contradictions are incredibly sexy.

зысыс зэ энд:



6. Kelley Deal

Band: The Breeders, The Amps, The Kelley Deal 6000

Obviously the more destructive of the two Deal sisters, Kelley has been in and out of rehab ever since the Breeders’ gentle decline from the charts. Her technique isn’t all that great (Kim her sister taught her basic chords of each song the day she needed to record them), but amidst all the drugs and booze, this little lady has kept her looks – unlike her ravished sister who’s now just a shell of her former self.

Weapon of Choice: The Gibson Les Paul Deluxe

Career Highpoint: While opening for Nirvana in Miami sometime in 1994, she missed the tour bus to the next venue. Finally realizing that her sister wasn’t at the gig, Kim Deal drew a life-sized picture of Kelley with a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and a cigarette in the other. The sisters both admit it was the best the Breeders had ever sounded.

Fun Fact: Our Kelley got busted for heroin when she had a FedEx package of horse was delivered to her house. Unfortunately for her, the package was sent as a covert sting operation courtesy of Ohio’s chapter of the FBI.

5. Corin Tucker

Band: Sleater-Kinney

Corin would surely hate the fact that she’s on a hottest anything list due to her feminist leanings, but it’s not her choice, is it? Her technique is sloppy at best, but there’s something about her I really like – I might have to do with the fact that she’s the spitting image of my ex-girlfriend’s sister, Melissa, who I always had a major crush on.

Weapon of Choice: A cherry-red or black Danelectro DC59

Career Highpoint: When Sleater-Kinney released “Dig Me Out” in 1997, the band was being called the greatest punk band in the world by the likes of the Village Voice and Rolling Stone even though they never really delivered the goods.

Fun Fact: Although this feisty feminist firecracker was once a lesbian (she used to date fellow band member, Carrie Brownstein), she’s left the sapho lifestyle and married filmmaker Lance Bangs. Confused sexual identity? That’s hot!



4. Emma Anderson

Band: Lush, Sing-Sing

A completely underrated guitarist and songwriter. Sure, she's not the most proficient guitarist of the bunch – I’ve been known to winch during her solos – but what she lacks in ability, she makes up for in songwriting. She was one of the pioneers of the fabled shoegazer (a term I hate, but what are you gonna do?) phenomenon that came out of Camden. It’s a little heartbreaking she has to work a 9 to 5 job again while her new band is second banana.

Weapon of Choice: 1972 Fender Telecaster Thinline

Career Highpoint: Dropping acid with the boys from the Jesus and Mary Chain while driving cross-country on the Lollapalooza tour.

Fun Fact: Now works a day job (when she's not touring with Sing-Sing) as a road manager for - gah - Duran Duran.


3. Cristina Martinez

Band: Boss Hog, Pussy Galore, Honeymoon Killers

Maybe the most elusive musician on this list – what do we know about Christina? Me? I know nothing other than the fact that she’s been known to pick up a guitar while in the art-noise band, Pussy Galore and really then, all she did was bang her guitar around and create feedback. Still, in my rulebook, it a girl has at anytime strapped a guitar to her back while on stage, that right there constitutes as being a female guitar player.

Weapon of Choice: Whatever guitar is lying around at the moment.

Career Highpoint: The night Boss Hog debuted at CBGB in 1989, Cristina performed the entire set completely naked. Nice.
Fun Fact: Married to indie heartthrob, Jon Spencer.



2. Liz Phair
Band: This bird flies solo

C’mon, this one’s obvious, isn’t it? Love her or loathe her, she’s still head and shoulders above the rest – she only didn’t make first because I’ve never met her and this is after all, an extremely biased list. Some say she just started getting shit after she released her latest self-titled LP which was produced by the Matrix (Avril Lavigne’s hitmakers), but it started way before that. I think her cover on Rolling Stone in 1993 when they dressed her in a tiny nightgown sealed her fate as all style and no substance. I say bullshit to that – “Exile in Guyville” is one of the few perfect albums of the ‘90s.

Weapon of Choice: A plethora of Fenders: several Mustangs and a couple Telecasters.

Career Highpoint: The aforementioned “Exile in Guyville” – flawless.

Fun Fact: She used to sell her charcoal drawings while in college at Wicker Park for beer money.

1. Miki Berenyi
Band: Lush
Easily the hottest of ‘em all: half Japanese, half Hungarian, former art student, one-time ‘zine publisher – this one has it all. Plus, she’s the guitarist that inspired me to buy my first guitar – a battered gold Fender Jaguar that I bought off a meth user in San Dimas, which refused to stay in tune. First song I learned was the simple three-chord “Thoughtforms” off her band’s 1989 EP, Scar and it’s been half-assed musicianship for me ever since.
Weapon of Choice: A six-string Gibson 335 and a Gibson Firebird
Career Highpoint: Never bothered figuring out how to tune her guitars “That’s what roadies are for,” she once joked while backstage at Lollapalooza in Irvine, California. Personally, I agree with her.
Fun Fact: She and I enjoyed drinks with Weezer after Lush’s aborted concert at Prince’s now defunct Glam Slam club in Los Angeles (Lush blew out the house’s PA system after three songs because Prince’s system was poorly put together).
