The Rocketeer RR100 is a lightweight, double-cutaway electric guitar built for maximum comfort, playability and tonal versatility. Its contoured paulownia body and ultrathin maple neck allow for quick, effortless soloing up and down the 22-fret fingerboard.

Unleash your creativity with the vintage-style tremolo bridge and whammy bar while die-cast tuners ensure your tone remains true. The Rocketeer RR100 is the perfect guitar for players seeking a mix of comfort, playability and tonal variety.

Lightweight Paulownia Body Maximizes Comfort

The contoured double-cutaway paulownia body provides maximum comfort for long practice or performance sessions. At just six pounds, the Rocketeer RR100 won't weigh you down, allowing you to focus on your playing rather than struggling with an overly heavy instrument. The body's contoured edges and deep cutaways provide easy access to all 22 frets so you can fly up and down the neck with speed and precision.

Ultra-Thin Maple Neck Offers Fast, Low-Fret Access

The Rocketeer RR100's ultra-thin maple neck and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard were designed for playability and speed. The slim neck profile allows for quick position changes while the fingerboard's 12" radius and medium-jumbo frets make bending and fretting notes a breeze. Access all the way up to the 22nd fret thanks to the contoured body shape for blistering leads and soaring solos.

Versatile Pickup Configuration Provides A Myriad of Tones

The Rocketeer RR100's humbucker/dual single-coil pickup configuration with a 5-way switch offers a wide range of tones from rock to blues to jazz. The bridge humbucker delivers a warm, full tone perfect for rock and metal. The middle and neck single-coil pickups provide the crisp, clear tones ideal for blues, country and jazz. Dial in the perfect tone for your musical needs with the 5-way pickup selector switch.

Vintage Tremolo Bridge and Die-Cast Tuners

Unleash your creativity with the Rocketeer RR100's vintage-style tremolo bridge. The tremolo arm allows for subtle pitch-bending effects as well as extreme dive bombs. Die-cast tuners provide exceptional tuning stability even after heavy tremolo use so you stay in tune song after song.

Great beginner guitar.

I'm a long-time guitar teacher and I recommend this guitar to all my students seeking a good quality, first electric guitar. I think I remember 4 students who have all bought these, and none were disappointed. I remember one required a little adjustment of the string height, but that was not difficult at all to do. The other 3 were perfect. The pickups sound pretty good, and the guitar plays well for the money.

I wanted to like this guitar but ended up returning it

Bought this on sale thinking it would be something I could loan out or let people play during jam sessions. But after spending about 2 hours trying to fix the intonation and an annoying buzz on the lower strings between the 10th - 14th frets I gave up (yes I adjusted the truss rod). The intonation was the biggest issue. Even with my strobe tuner and lots of tweaking at the bridge with the saddle lengths, I could never get the basic open chords at the bottom of the neck to play remotely in tune with each other. The string buzz would probably be solvable with some fret work but why bother if the intonation is so far off? You'd think with modern machining the fret spacing and intonation would be a non-issue. Oh and if for some reason you do buy this, you'll want to file down the edge of the frets. They are a tad sharp. Not awful but enough to annoy you. The electronics are actually OK and the humbucker at the bridge packs a decent punch. Personally, it would have made more sense to put the single coil at the bridge for some snap and move the H to the neck or mid but whatever. It sounded nice for a cheap guitar. Oh and the finish was excellent. No glitches, neck had a nice satin feel. Yeah you can see the wire leads off the two single coil pickups in the cavity but that didn't bother me at all (like it does others).

    The guitar is very nice for a beginner electric guitar but it was damaged while shipping from the warehouse to the store. It did not damage the inside of the guitar and the sound.

    Very good deal for beginners guitarist. Only down side is fret the buzz. But with patience and know how is tuning. This is a small issue. Very comfortable to hold at any position of postures. Very sleek wine-burst finish on the body. If your looking for a good practice guitar, this is it.

  • A great cheap guitar

    This is a pretty good value when they go on sale. Everything is solid, straight, and put together well. The frets were good and didn't need any touch up at all, which was my biggest concern having owned a Rogue acoustic some time ago that wasn't good at all in that regard. They have really upped their game on their frets. Plays fine and seems to be holding a tune well. It's pretty hard to beat when it's sale-priced. Aesthetically, it's exactly like the pictures. What you see is what you get. I would have maybe preferred a solid tone, but the burst was the one on sale. It does look good though and is well finished. This is a great starter IMO.
