Great Guitar. I love the sound. I have fellow guitar players looking for one. - Bohonkie - 2007-07-06
I wanted one in '69 but couldn't afford it. Finally found one on e-Bay. 100% original, but had to be cleaned up. Looks great. Pickups are a bit noisy, but plays well after I adjusted the truss rod. Glad I have it. - Captain Chris - 2011-01-04
I bought a Red Rocket-/1 in 1969 in 9th grade w/$115 worth of paper route $. It had a cardboard case & a "hippie" strap - which I still have. I foolishly sold it in '72, to get an SG. That was stolen from my dorm room, but I ended up w/ a '72 Gold-top Les which I DO still have... I do miss the ol' ROcket tho & love this site so full of info.
Maybe I'll go over to Craig's or e-bay & see if I can find another one !
Great stuff & Best Regards from an old Rocket Rocker!
