Daisy Rock Pixie Acoustic Guitar Starter Pack, Powder Pink Review

Daisy Rock Pixie Acoustic Guitar Starter Pack, Powder Pink

Late winter 2006 I heard Bob Edwards interviewing Patty Larkin re: her La Guitara project. One of Patty's goals is to get more little girls playing guitar. I heard that and immediately thought of my cousin's 9 yo daughter Meganne. I sent Meganne the La Guitara CD & asked her if she'd like to learn to make that kind of music. Meganne is now the proud owner of a powder pink Pixie acoustic. The reduced girth of the neck is perfect for a girl's hand. Daisy Rock offers the Pixie alone or as part of a starter pack; I chose the latter option. My whole family is quite pleased with Daisy Rock Girl Guitars.

Gold Tone LS-8 Lap Steel Guitar (Eight String, Two Tone Tobacco) Review

Gold Tone LS-8 Lap Steel Guitar (Eight String, Two Tone Tobacco)

I've used the 6 string version of this guitar for years. I've gigged it as a "Hawaiian" musician all around San Diego. I always regarded the 6 string guitar as an excellent guitar.
In time though I came to realize that to really explore the instrument you need the other 2 strings. With 6 strings I found myself constantly using work-arounds to compensate for the missing lower strings... which can be confusing on the gig as it's not always intuitive where these notes are. With 8 strings you have two complete strings courses so that your straight bar positions cover nearly 2 octaves.
I use A6 tuning, no variation, so the upper 4 strings are one octave higher than the bottom four. The intervals are the same as C6 with a hi G string, so the transition - should I ever need to play in C6 - is very simple.
The neck is a little wider and thus the guitar is heavier, but this guitar is otherwise identical to the 6 stringer. The finish is superb. String spacing is a little wider than older lap steels but very comfortable. The single coil pickup is responsive and articulate. The Kluson tuners (well, Gotoh Klusons) are quality and the buttons are metal rather than plastic... although I have nothing against plastic buttons.
My only complaint: the "fretboard" (which incidentally features actual frets) only extends to the 19th fret. Often I have to go above that which can be a pain, but you'd be surprised how quickly you get used to it. Still. To the good folks at Goldtone: I realize this is supposed to be a somewhat-identical copy of the Oahu Tonemaster... but I don't think the Tonemaster ever came with 8 strings. So in this case it is permissible to use an extended fretboard, at least to the 24th fret. At least think about it.
