These six women should have signature guitars

With the recent announcement of the limited edition boygenius signature Broadkaster Jr. by Gretsch—which sold out, by the way—another entry has been added to the relatively short list of women, or, in this case, groups of women with signature guitars. 

It’s a list that has expanded in the past decade or so, and it includes Yvette Young, Chrissie Hynde, Emily Wolf, H.E.R., Susanna Hoffs, Lari Basilio, Bonnie Raitt, Nancy Wilson, and Courtney Love. And, of course, what is perhaps the most unique signature model named for a woman–the Ernie Ball Music Man St. Vincent. 

Even though the list of women with signature guitars has grown over the years, I think there’s still a lot of opportunity for brands to honor some of today’s most exciting, up-and-coming guitarists who just happen to be women. 

Let’s talk about some women who I think should get a signature guitar. I based this list mostly on vibes. Okay, getting serious, yes, this list is largely artists of whom I’m a personal fan. But I also thought about musicians who are gaining popularity, brands that don’t presently have a lot of signature models, period, guitar models that have been done to death—so I won’t be suggesting Strats of Teles—and, finally, I tried to hit a few different genres. But, me being me, most of these artists fall fairly squarely within quote unquote indie rock genre.
