Daisy Rock Zebra Butterfly Jumbo: Adorned With Many Kick-Ass Butterflies

November 04, 2008
Daisy Rock Zebra Butterfly Jumbo

A number of years ago, a good friend of mine named his Gibson ES-335 after a lady who was, as they say, full-figured. Which got me wondering: do women-rockers affectionately name their guitars after men they loved and lost after a single, passionate night? Would even the more portly of the less-gentle-gender be honored with a hefty axe that bears (no pun, there) their name? In short: won't some fine lady name their new Daisy Rock Zebra Butterfly Jumbo Acoustic-Electric after Yours Truly?

The "zaftig" Daisy Rock Zebra Butterfly Jumbo is as graceful and beautiful a guitar as Daisy Rock has ever produced. Available both in Zebra (pictured) and Bubinga bodywoods, the Butterfly Jumbos take up a lot of space without a lot of added mass, and the Jumbo body-shape still partners perfectly with the Daisy Rock "slim and fast" tapered neck -- mahogany with a rosewood fretboard.

Of course, the Butterfly Jumbo also boasts electronics that'll have any thinline guitar glowing green with envy: a Fishman piezo transducer system featuring the Fishamn ION-401 preamp: controls include Volume, Contour and Phase.

Oh man, I totally didn't even mention the wicked-gnarley butterfly theme that ties the whole guitar together! The guitar has hella-butterflies on the headstock, at the twelfth fret, and even the bridge is shaped like an insect of the order Lepidoptera.

The Daisy Rock Zebra Butterfly Jumbo (as well as the Bubinga) will street for $499.

They missed the boat not adding butterfly tuners, either go all-butterfly not half-caterpillar.
