Bleedin' typical, that the manufacturer would think that the instrument has to be more "fashionable" with sparkly bits rather than seriously addressing the problems of female guitarists. It's really a slap in the face, saying that women are not serious musicians.

Women guitarists want the same thing their male counterparts do - a good sounding instrument with excelent playability.

To that end, the *real* needs of female guitarists would be better met with, for example; slimer necks with less depth would help those whos hands aren't that big; an off-centre neck - while retaining the volume of the sound box - would certainly assist the large busted IE the durn thing wouldn't be so far away your arms wouldn't be at full stretch when playing it; Or perhaps one model with a cut-away in the rear to accomodate the belly when preggers. Even just less depth to the soundbox might be enough for some.

I hope these fluffy/sparkly/pink "ladies guitars" are a big enough financial flop to put the company out of business - they deserve to go under with thinking like that!

grrrrrrrr
