I don’t have the $449 to buy the Gazelle, but I’ve been seriously considering the Sun Mist…since I’m largely fingerstyle or single-string pickin’ I don’t need a pickguard, either. At $299 I can get one of these at Amazon’s store.

So there ya go: I have NO problem whatsoever with a guitar designed (apparently) for women. It should work well for me, too, since I’m a smallish guy (smaller hands, shorter fingers).

It may be a step in the right direction, but it’s still far from ideal.

Unfortunately, these were the best instruments available at the time the post was written (nearly two years ago now) and sadly, Gibson appears to have already discontinued its Goddess and Vixen lines.

Hopefully there will be new and more traditional female-oriented guitars coming down the pipeline in the near future :)

I guess its all down to personal opinion, but i’m glad you put together this list (first thing i came across when looking for a smaller guitar). It really is half the battle.

Best of luck to you,

i own a Maton MS2000 deluxe, a fine piece of work with seymour duncan humbuckers and split pickups, have no trouble whatsoever playing it and wouldn’t dream of buying any of the above mentioned guitars – not only is it a misguided feminist statement to create specific girl guitars, but i have played daisy rock guitars before and the quality *bites*. sad but true. sure, promote axes where quality is compromised to the chicks because they can’t tell the difference and don’t seek the same tone and clarity that the guys do. notice how prominent female musicians generally steer clear of products like this? give me PRS, gretsch or maton anyday.

I was wondering if people could please post some good acoustic guitars for girls. I want to get my girlfriend a guitar for her 21st I personally don’t know much about guitars. She’s a beginner and wants to learn however I want to get her a guitar that she can keep playing if she got better… Any suggestions please tell me… willing to pay whatever but i don’t wanna waste my money if you can get something pretty reasonable cheaper.

I do realize this is an electric guitar website but i figured you guys would know

I would recommend a 30 inch scale bass. Landing Bass by Jimmy wilson makes several very nice models with killerl EMG pickups. Check out his website!

Also, a Mustang or Musicmaster is a good choice, in my opinion, although you might want to change the pickups in them. They have the 30-inch scale also.

I also like the Jazz Bass, although it is a full 34 inch neck bass. The neck is slim and tapered at the end and very easy to reach first position in. There are several companies who make the Jazz style bass with the tapered neck.
