 Sure, it may be a little sexist, but this list had to be created. It took lots of back and forth emails between editors, heated arguments over a week’s worth of happy hours and brutal rounds of scissors-paper-rock, but I, with the help of Alex V. Cook whittled down the list. Behold, the world’s 12 Sexiest Female Guitar Players ever. You know where to send the hate mail.
 12. Jewel
Band: Jewel
In the Klingon sense, there is no honor in loving Jewel. What started out as a sweet Lisa Loeb upgrade invading the pop scene, things went quickly downhill with her accepting her inner poet and then her inner pop tart. But, much as I might be loathe to admit it, those first couple songs of hers always warm my heart when I hear them on the piped-in at the grocery store. And frankly, those snaggle-teeth totally do it for me.
Weapon of Choice: an array of Martin acoustics
Career Highpoint: her first album and its sweet folky country-ish songs, and her later rampant insane stage persona
Fun Fact: Hmmm, she doesn't seem all that fun actually.
 11. Joan Jett
Band: Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
C'mon. When Joan Jett came on the scene everyone was turned on. She was the quintessential rocker chick, and that was before we were, as a people, aware of her past in the Runaways. I mean, her songs were either covers or aggro pop dross, and actually I don't know what she's been doing for the last quarter century, but none of that matters. She is the hot chick David Johansen wanted to be in the New York Dolls but couldn't acheive, so he had to give it up for Buster-dom and that folk-singer shit he did.
Weapon of Choice: Gibson Les Paul
Career Highpoint: She informed us decades ago that she indeed loved Rock-n-Roll and despite having only two other hits, every adult in the US probably has a clear idea who Joan Jett is.
Fun Fact: Is impossibly hotter now that she was 25 years ago. And though I am not a lesbian, I would still wear a W.W J.J.D. t-shirt.
