Women's guitars...

The closest I ever came to buying a "Signature" guitar is the Larrivée C-03 Tommy Emanuel model. I played one at Spruce Tree Music in Madison. It was an awesome guitar but, I just could not bring myself to buy it. Mostly because of its "Signature" guitar status.

I don't understand the need for an article explaining the gender gap on signature guitars. There have been signature guitars for women before. The reason these models were few is very simple, there are very few women guitar players and even fewer "stars". The reason these models were "short lived" is simple. The shit "music" they recorded was also short lived and for good reason. lol I mean, Joan Jett? The one hit wonder? LMFAO I bet sales of this guitar will not be brisk.

Of course, Jett’s new guitar is not the only signature model made for a female musician. In the 1990s, Fender released its first signature Stratocaster for a woman, the blues-rock legend Bonnie Raitt; in the 2010s, B.C. Rich released the Lita Ford Signature Warlock Electric Guitar. Other women with their own models include Sheryl Crow’s Gibson acoustic, Avril Lavigne’s Squier Telecaster and Newporter acoustic, Chryssie Hynde’s Telecaster, and Taylor Swift’s Big Baby Taylor acoustic. Most of these models, however, were sadly short-lived.
