Daisy Rock Powerpuff Girls Heartbreaker guitar

guitarz.blogspot.com:

We were looking at heart-shaped guitars here on Guitarz last week, and here's another that you may have seen before, the Heartbreaker from girl guitar company Daisy Rock.

This particular example is one of the company's earliest models, the Daisy Rock Powerpuff Girls-edition Heartbreaker and is one of a limited edition of 100. These early Daisy Rocks were actually made by Schecter Guitars, Daisy Rock founder Tish Ciravolo being married to Michael Ciravolo, the President of Schecter Guitar Research, and who gave a helping hand in the early days of the company being set up. As you'd expect, production soon after shifted to the Far East.

2009 Schecter Stargazer

guitarz.blogspot.com:

Guitarz reader Dillon has emailed to tell us about a couple of his guitars. Here is the first one:

The black one here is a Schecter Stargazer built in '09, which is from an American brand you've never featured on the blog. I picked up this guitar for cheap and it was well worth it. The thing that attracted me was the obvious Rickenbacker-inspired styling (especially that tailpiece, I'm surprised Schecter hasn't been sued for this one) and the variety of tones; both humbuckers can be split with push-pull tone knobs to make a lot of different of tones. The thing's really a workhorse to the core, it can cover a lot of styles of music with ease. I've never been a fan of completely black guitars but this guitar really caught my eye and I still love it. If anyone reading this gets a chance to play one of these, take it for a spin. These are a lot less popular than I feel they should be, it's a really solid guitar for the price and surprisingly comfortable.

It looks like a fine guitar indeed, and something that is a little bit different. I can see the Rickenbacker vibe. And have we really not looked at Schecter guitars before?

More tomorrow...
