Evaluating a guitar typically comes down to four key factors: build quality, playability, tone, and looks. But truly exceptional instruments go further – they have feel, soul, mojo. Whatever you call it, Damian Probett’s newest creation, the Comet, is overflowing with it.
Build quality? Flawless. Damian’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this guitar. Playability? Luxurious. With a late-’50s Gibson-style neck carve ('59 LP-ish), exceptional fretwork, and an effortless, slinky feel, it’s pure joy to play.
Tone? Muscular, twangy, snappy, bold. This Comet strikes a perfect balance between a Les Paul Jr's punchy midrange and a Strat's neck pickup's snappy, slightly scooped mirange articulation. It’s versatile enough to pretty much cover any style you want to throw at it. Looks? Quite possibly the best dog hair finish we've ever seen - just gorgeous in person.
But what truly sets the Comet apart is its feel. Damian’s guitars feel alive, inspiring you to make music, not just admire their perfection. Sterile? Not a chance. Inspiring? Absolutely. With Probett on the headstock, you can trust you’re holding something phenomenal.
