Aesthetically super-cool, but most importantly, the sound is excellent. I've tried out a number of acoustic guitars over the years and am rarely completely won over -one's too tinny; one's too booming, etc. I was really impressed with a Daisy Rock model's sound a while back, but the look wasn't quite right for me. Then comes the glittery Pixie and, being a child of the '80s, I had to have it!

I tried one in a store to make sure I liked the sound, but wound up buying it through Amazon vendor ZoZo Music (who shipped promptly and is just fab) to get the best price.

As advertised, the smaller neck and lighter weight make it ideal for females. (Not just "girls," but perhaps girls at heart!)

It's fantastic -get it and rock on!

Honest reviews on Daisy Rock Pixie Acoustic Guitar

My friend has this guitar, and I have played it multiple times. The aesthetics of the guitar are obviously cool. The hot pink glitter makes it a very bold instrument.

However, there is very poor resonance and tone with this. It is made smaller for girls, but I found the neck width to be borderline too small for me (and I have smaller hands). The depth of the neck is nice, makes it much easier to wrap your thumb around.

I guess the resonance is sacrificed with the sparkles. Because of its coating, there's less vibration and reverberation going on which ultimately affects your tone.

The strings sit a reasonable distance from the fretboard not too high, not too low. This guitar is probably better for basic chords and rhythm rather than fast-picking solos, especially in the higher ranges since it is not a cutaway.

I think this would be a great guitar for a younger girl learning to play. After all, at a young age we're not really thinking about tone, but how cool we look playing!

I got this guitar for a budding rock star, and it sounds pretty good for what it is:

a shallow-bodied composite back/side guitar (the top is spruce...I'm not sure if it is solid or laminate, but the purple paint is so thick that it probably matters little).

The pros:

+ well-built: composite material body is about 3 inches in depth...the back is arched like an Ovation; it is black with a pebbled texture; neck is a mahogany/nato-type wood; strings are D'Addario EXP's; 20-fret fingerboard measuring 25.25 inches from nut to saddle.

+ good intonation: harmonics are pretty good, higher pitch range is bright, while the lower end is a touch muddy...but not bad considering the size & resonance of the body.

+ Amazon is great with their support: if you buy this guitar, they are your best option.

The cons:

the tuners are NOT Grovers, as stated in the Product Description (I have let Amazon know)...and it was one of the reasons I got the guitar. From what I can tell, they are the typical cheap die-cast tuners found on most low-priced guitars. And it is immediately noticeable...the strings do not hold their pitch, requiring frequent adjustment. Not horrible, but annoying & frustrating, and worth replacing...which will set you back about $50, if you want Grovers.

the finish is not great: eg, very obvious glue on the fretboard's snowflake inlays...one is so thick it interferes with playing;

customer support is (online at least) unresponsive (so far...I've sent 4 emails & am still waiting)...so I wouldn't place much hope in that area...and the accuracy of their specifications is questionable (the Grover spec is stated on several other vendor's websites...so it's origin is possibly from Daisy Rock themselves).

Other comments: they provide 2 sheets of butterfly & daisy stickers for decorating the guitar, if that is of interest to anyone. I personally don't like them...but it's a matter of taste. Also, it comes with a gig bag...which is a good idea...but it is so thin, flimsy and cheaply made that it's not worth much, so I just discounted it from the review. Better off getting a decent quality one.

If they provided a better quality gig bag and even answered my emails, I'd have given it 4-stars...and if it had the Grovers, as advertised, maybe even a 5, considering the quality vs price...but, alas...

Bottom line: It is a decent guitar for a smaller person. I recommend shopping around, because the list price is too much to pay for this one...closer to $100-$125, and it's a good buy.
