Notable Models

Meteor

The Meteor combines elements from various 1950s solid body guitars with the aim of retaining a cohesive and functional design. Simply put, it is the single cutaway brother of the Rocket III.  Equal parts Tele and LP Special.


The Meteor uses a full width tenon that provides massive contact area which gives unbeatable rigidity and vibration transfer. Both critical elements in making an instrument that both sounds and feels “right”. 

SG-teor

The SG-TEOR, as its name implies, takes the Meteor model back to the early 60s with the additional of body contours and a redesigned neck joint a la the classic Gibson model.

With a 1 1/2" deep body, the Meteor is a sleek and easy to manage electric with punchy, muscular tones - no surprise here given the SG influence.

Rocket III

Love Strats, Teles, and LPs but can't decide which to get? Enter the Rocket III.

The top half of the Rocket's body is all Strat - the bottom half of the body is all Tele (with a few tweaks). Meaning, contours for the top half of the body and no contours for the bottom half (comfort while standing or while seated). Best of both worlds!

Add to this recipe some very Gibson-like features - set neck, neck carve, scale length, pitched headstock - and you've got one hell of a cool, versatile, tone-filled guitar that is incredibly addictive.
