Probett Guitars Rocket 3

The Rocket 3 is the culmination of many years repairing, building and studying guitars by Damian Probett. Based in England, Damian has a well earned reputation as one of todays premier builders of handmade boutique guitars.
Damian spent many years designing this model, with aspects of some of our favorite, most time honored instruments, combing some of these, and some of his own ideas into a very stylistic and well thought own model with a sound very much its own.
As you can see from the specs below, Only premium parts are used and the pickup configuration is very original, offering tons of tonal possibilities.
The build quality on Probett Guitars is among the best available, these guitars play like a dream!!! Very lightly aged, the finish is dulled a bit and so are the parts for a less that shiny new appearance, but no fake wear!!!
As with all guitars purchased from MCG, this one comes with a full set up to the buyers specs!!!!
