I like this one, I wouldn't play it on stage, though, lol...

Heh, yeah, I can imagine the missus having a thing or two to say if I slung that over my shoulder!  :lol:

I think these colour choices will mean you will be able to pick these guitars up for very cheap prices soon - maybe then its worth getting one to re-spray!!

Very good point, hope you're right about the prices - I'll keep an eye on the sale ads.  And bollox to resprays, I'd be very happy with Corona Yellow or Caribbean Blue!

Apart from some of the colours I'd be very happy with one of them.

Iv'e played a couple of the Goddess SG models, and thought the ones I tried totally outclassed horrible SG GT, as well as every other new SG I tried that day.

As for the Dasy Rock guitars my daughter has one of their basses (cost 220 new :) ) that totally outclasses any Epi, Squire or standard Fender. Their Retro range are excellent guitars and I would happily to own one, and their 12 string is almost as good as my Ric (but 1/6th of the price)

Anything that gets more people playing (or trying to) is a good thing, but it's the gimicks which annoy me (but the SG GT is more way sadder than any Daisy shaped guitar in that respect)

Wouldn't you love to see Zakk Wylde with a daisy shaped guitar, he truely would be matcho after that.
Goodbye London !

I have a shell pink hardtail 60's strat and a shel pink 66 Precision Bass, also a 63 burgundy mist strat and coming in a bit, a 62 stack pot Jazz bass in burgundy mist.  I like the colours.  I was thinking of getting a grafitti yellow strat too!

I suspect that they are made by Schecter or the same factories as the Schecter guitars.
The founder - Tish Ciravolo is married to Michael Ciravolo who is president of Schecter guitars since the late 1990s

Well there is a certain similarity to schecters that I have looked at.

Though both are well built, I have to say that I like the Daisy Rock retro series a lot more than the schecter range (on the whole).

The Daisys are just that litle bit less metal ;)
