It’s pretty. But that huge cutaway is pretty pointless with that big thick bolt-on neck joint.
 
I'll say I've never liked a bolt on lp type as much as I like this one. I don't know exactly what I'm saying there though.

It's no bigger than a Strat, Tele, Jazzmaster, and likely smaller than a Les Paul...at least not from what I can tell. I've never had an access based on the neck connection.
 
It's not as bad as I expected it to be.

I would never publically announce owning a Red Rocket :embarrassed:
 
I like it. It's like a country & western Les Paul.
I wonder what scale length?

Rebel Guitars always take such good guitar photos.
