"I’ve always made things. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t - it's all I've ever wanted to do. I’ve worked as a saddlemaker, carpenter, joiner, aircraft toolmaker, racing motorcycle chassis maker, racing motorcycle engine builder and tuner, guitar repairer and now guitar maker."

Handcrafted in North Yorkshire
Each Probett guitar is crafted entirely by Damian Probett in North Yorkshire, UK - combining his background as a toolmaker, saddlemaker, and motorcycle-builder with a deep understanding of vintage instruments and modern playability
Hybrid Designs with Heritage Roots
Probett melds classic electric guitar design elements - think 1950s Californian body styles, mahogany set-necks, and carved tops - with contemporary construction techniques. Models like the Rocket, Meteor, and Rocket ’59 channel vintage tone and feel while offering modern ergonomics and build quality.
Lively, Balanced Tones
With features like full-width tenons for seamless neck-to-body vibration transfer, high-grade mahogany bodies, and custom-voiced vintage-style pickups, these guitars deliver tone that’s lively, balanced, and deeply resonant - built for players who feel and hear the difference.
