[Help!I'maRock!]

Never retailed, unplayed, immaculate. Don't let the name fool you. Daisy Rocks were originally aimed for the "girl" market but there's particularly girlish about this guitar. The Tom Boy closely resembles a Tele Custom in style and function with a traditional Tele pickup and bridge plate plus a PAF style humbucker in the neck. This model has more sonic versatility though as both are humbuckers with single coil capability, each with a slider switches for choice of humbucker, single coil, or off. Pickups are very good quality Duncan Designed Alnico humbuckers. Other features include a thin and lightweight agathis body, maple neck and fretboard, 24-3/4" (Gibson scale) with a slightly narrow neck make it easier for smaller hands to get around on. Also features string-thru body construction, Grover tuners, plus dual volume controls and master tone. These pickups do a good job with a wide range of tones, from crunchy and heavy to clean and twangy.

I was going to say no, but then I saw the grover tuners. Solid hot!

My nose wrinkled up a bit at first, but there's not a lot wrong with that.

The top end of the headstock is a little long, but no big deal. It leaves room for stickerzez.
The heel is a bit weird, but if it didn't get in the way, then no big deal.

I'll give them credit for not just making another Tele knock-off, but that is an ugly guitar.

 

[Elias Graves]

Not bad, I guess.
I have seen several Daisy Rocks that look pretty cool.
If I was man enough, I'd play one of the pink ones.

Do not want. I had the swirly pickguard look, the color, and the mini switch placements. make it black with a normal guard and move the switches and I would give it a try.

 

[Chad]

pass.

 

[Tralfaz]

Looks a bit deformed, like a Shrinky Dink gone wrong. It's kind of ugly, if you ask me.

I've never played a Daisy Rock, so I've no idea if their concept of a 3/4 neck aligns with mine. It would be interesting to try out, but I wouldn't buy it, even at that price.

 

[Modern Saint]

The knobs are too far from the pickups, don't care for the Nike swoosh. Thumbs up on the bridge, tuners and pickup config.

Overall - MEH.

 

[Coralkong]

I don't like it.

Pass.

 

[pw5470]

Nope.

 

[tgk03]

I don't NOT like it. Narrow neck is a deal breaker.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

No thank you.

I bet if it said Gibson with a 5700 price tag and a bi-layered rosewood board, the answers would be different.

wrong forum.

'S OK, but I'd just get a Squier VM version, which is a great buy at around the same price.
