Ok I have a confession to make…I have a soft spot in my heart for Red Rocket guitars. I’ve found no 2 that are the same. They are hand crafted using exotic woods and top quality components. They sound amazing and play like the highest quality guitars….AND….wait for it…they trade cheap (old Wall St term). The & Lipe guitars are the two best values in the sub-$2200 used market.
This piece features a Lacewood Top over Ash Body. A Paul Ferro 2-Piece Neck. Abalone Dots. Vintage Vibe Charlie Christian in the neck. Just unique and soulful. See the Spec/Condition Sheet (in pictures) for the rest of the details.
The Charlie Christian pickup has a real nice fatness while retaining the high end. Think semi-hollow 335 meets tele. The guitar resonates. The finish is thin. If you are sick of mass-produced stamped out paint guitars then this is for you. Step up without stepping over your budget.
