Daisy Rock Guitars is a guitar making company established in 2000 by Tish Ciravolo. After watching an all-girl band called the Go-Go's on Saturday Night Live, she got enthusiastic about playing in an all-girl band too. That gave her an idea on making quality guitars specially catering to girls. These guitars will usually feature pastel-colored finishes adorned with glitter, which tremendously boosts the cosmetic value. Ergonomically, they tend to feature more slender necks and lighter bodies. Though Daisy Rock Guitars is known to many as a girl-guitar brand, it ironically first gained much acclaim when Norah Jones' guitarist, Adam Levy, used it, coincidentally on Saturday Night Live.
