“The workmanship is as flawless as that of the
May ‘07 GP Editors’ Pick Award winner
Rock Candy Custom Special, which suggests that for a “budget”
guitar maker, Daisy Rock has really dialed in its quality control.
The polished frets have lusciously smooth hot-dog ends, the
neck socket is airtight, the hardware is locked down, and the
finish is flawless.”
“I was initially skeptical about the De-Luxe’s “manufacturer brand”
mini humbuckers. But through my practice rig (an Orange Tiny
Terror head and Mesa/Boogie 1x12 cab) and my gig amp
(a Mesa/Boogie Stiletto and two 1x12 Boogie cabs), the De-Luxe
serves up aggressive treble tones with a lively snap, as well as
chunky yet articulate dual-pickup sounds. With the tone rolled off,
the neck pickup is capable of jazz timbres.”
“I’ve said many times that the female-focused Daisy Rock company
doesn’t just make guitars for girls, and although the De-Luxe
definitely has a slim neck and body profile, it’s still a versatile
and professional tool-so much so,
that it has effectively retired my
X160 from the ravages of
club gigging.”
