My middle daughter is coming up to her 18th birthday.
She says she wants a(nother) guitar..
 
Any thoughts?

Many, but how deep are your pockets ?

Crunchy or clear sound ',

Cheers,

What guitars does she own?
 

How much becan does she have?

Hi,
 
Show her the posts on this thread first!
 
I probably wouyld show her Daevid Allen doing the glissando. That's a Hohner he uses and it's headless, and Steve Hillage uses the same/similar model for the same thing. They are the only two folks that know how to use the glissando nicely in any piece of music, be it meditation (both have albums with it) or just songs.
 
Something "different", since all the other guitars kinda look the same.
 
After that show her some Egberto Gismonti and those homemade 8 and 10 string guitars he used to play. His solo albums from 30 years ago, are out of this world, and have a tendency to intimidate rock'n'rollers real bad!

Well....
A niceish acoustic.
A sh1tty strat copy.
An Emperor Swingster (in wine red)
A cheap LP copy (in pieces, she wants it sprayed green...  I told her she has to do it)
2 or 3 ukeleleleles (assorted sizes)
Jazz bass (copy)
 
She's at collage doing a music course.  She writes.  She likes most things from The Levellers to Taylor Swift.
 
She has Becan.

Change the sh!tty strat copy for a better one? Squier maybe?

The regular/american strats are not that spendy unless the dollar conversion over there is nasty.
