Probett Meteor Walnut Brown

What is the Meteor exactly? One part Tele, one part Gibson, 100% Probett (read: amazing).

We can probably all agree that the basic parameters of guitar evaluation are: overall build quality, playability, tone, and looks. Sounds about right, yes? There's one other factor that is always present in a exceptional instrument: Feel. Soul. Vibe. Mojo. Whatever you call it, the best builders know how to infuse their instruments with it. Probett's Meteor is a marvel of all the above parameters. One part Tele, one part Gibson, 100% Probett (read: amazing).

Build quality? Off the charts great. We're going to go out on a limb and say, it's flawless. Literally. Guitars don't really get much better than this. Damian's attention to detail shows itself at every turn (dig that headstock design - Tele over a Strat? Too cool). With a neck inspired by Gibson's late-50s style ('59 LP-ish), it offers an excellent fretwork and a slinky, luxurious feel. You can tell Damian designs his guitars for players who demand the best in comfort and ease of play without sacrificing feel, vibe, and soul.

Tone-wise, the Meteor is a beast. It delivers muscular, snappy, bold, and powerful sounds reminiscent of a great Gibson, seamlessly blending the midrange punch of a Gibson with the snap and articulation of a Tele. Whether you're playing jazz, rock, or blues, this guitar covers it all with ease.

"So what about this feel thing you're going on and on about?"

This is where you separate the builders from THE builders. Damian's guitars have a ton of soul. All this perfection doesn't come at the expense of an instrument you actually want to play and make music with (some do get too perfect, no?). Just like a great LP or Tele just pulls music out of you, so too does the Meteor.

Sound to good to be true? Normally we'd be skeptical as well, but we've learned that when it has Probett on the headstock you can rest assured it's not. Phenomenal guitars, the end.
