im especially looking for an acoustic/electric guitar. at a low prices

What are some good girl guitar brands i.e. Daisy Rock?
Daisy Rock guitars are marketed to girls and they are fairly cheap and really no different from other guitars in the same price range. A good guitar can be cheap and doesn't have to say Fender of Gibson on it. The Samick company makes the majority of guitars in the world and you find them with all kinds of name plastered on them and they are all pretty much the same. Look for one you like, that fit's your hands and has the sound you want in the price you can afford and forgetabout the name. Go to a peputable dealer, check out several music stores to see what's available.
Reply:Guitars don't have gender. And a good female musician who wants to play guitar will not be looking for a special model. Those hot rockin' females like Patti Smith and the Quattro sisters never wanted girl, they wanted a high-quality instrument that was easy to shred.





So look, you want acoustic electric? My own preference is Ovation, but many hate the brand and want something all wood instead, like Gibson or Martin or Alverez or Washburn.





Do you know anyone who plays guitar? If not, maybe you want to meet some who play in the style you'd like to perform. Then get their help when guitar shopping.





Get them to go along with you to pawn shops and guitar shops. Pull several guitars off the racks and play each one to see how you like the touch and feel of the strings and fingerboard. Then when you have a few guitars that feel good, have your friend play each one while you turn your back and listen; the one that sounds best when you're not looking at it is the one you want.





A knowledgable guitar player can help you find bargains and can tell you if the action is high, the neck is warped, etc.





In the end, no brand of guitar is automatically the right one (a few are the wrong ones)--it depends on your personal taste and vision of what you want to sound like. And mid-priced guitar brands can be inconsistent--play several of the same model of Yamaha acoustic, for example, and you'll probably find one that's much better-sounding than the rest.





So happy shopping!
