tv is one of the most abused finishes in the history of life.

damian has it down.

Jk, this thing looks incredible!! One of the best looking guitars I've seen in a long time. Just stumbled across them on Instagram. Glad to see a happy owner!

thanks for the positivity! damian is an incredible builder and human. it’s an absolute pleasure to work with such a highly skilled and brilliant builder. his rocket 59 builds are extremely limited.

his rocket III is killing as well.

Many manufacturers had a superstrat with similar specs in the 80s-90s... here's my 1989 Heritage w/ 25 1/2" scale length.
