Margo Price's ONLY advice for girls who want to play guitar

Watch singer-songwriter Margo Price offer advice for young girls out there who want to learn to play guitar. "There's never been a better time for a girl to pick up a guitar."

Watch the full interview and performance over at Gibson TV, and see Margo Price introduce her signature Gibson J-45 and perform an acoustic rendition of “Hands Of Time.”

Margo Price is a fearless singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose raw storytelling and genre-blending sound embody the rebellious spirit of rock and country. A true artist’s artist, she’s built a career on authenticity, passion, and a relentless dedication to her craft—and her Gibson J-45 acoustic has been by her side every step of the way. We are honored to partner with Margo and announce the addition of the new Margo Price J-45 to our core acoustic line.

The Margo Price J-45, which she lovingly refers to as the Red-tailed Hawk, was inspired by her mid-60s J-45, a guitar she’s called “my main baby; my guitar I play all the time.” This new model features a slightly thinner mahogany body with a red spruce top and traditional hand-scalloped advanced X-bracing and L.R. Baggs electronics, so it’s studio and stage-ready.

The distinctive double 50s-style pickguards of her new signature guitar were inspired by her love of red-tailed hawks. As Margo says, “Red-tailed hawks have always been symbolistic to me. I see them everywhere, and I always have, as they are common all over the United States, but to me, they are otherworldly, and they always come to me in my time of need with messages of strength and perseverance. Red, as a color, relates to love, passion, and even anger, matters that we typically would associate with the heart, but if you look closely, the ends of the feathers are dipped in white, and the bird itself has a spiritual nature to them. When I’m on long road trips, I look out the window and count them alongside the highway. They pass over me at the most kismet times, reminding me to find strength in my vulnerability and to open up and connect to those around me. I hope this guitar will remind those who play it these lessons as well.”
