Designed by the legendary UK guitar builder and hardware specialist Alan Entwistle, the new Rapier Rocket is based on original 60’s iconic brands that played a major role in the industry of British built guitars and basses from the 1960s.

With its distinctive symmetrical, swept-wing okeume body, neck and angled headstock, all finished in a striking metallic silver, offset with a single ply black scratchplate and chrome hardware, the Rapier Rocket looks unquestionably cool.

Straight string-pull from the Wilkinson EZ loc machine heads to the Entwistle designed Hi-Lo Resonance long-plate vibrato system, via a precision cut Graphtech nut and roller bridge, ensures accurate return to pitch, stable tuning and pinpoint intonation over the Canadian
rock maple neck with double action truss rod and 22 fret, bound rosewood fingerboard.

With a low DCR output of 5K ohms, the Entwistle FireStar pickups are more open sounding with a massive dynamic range, whilst heavy gauge winding wire and powered by a single Neodymium Rare Earth magnet, they’re extra hot, whilst also highlighting Entwistle’s extraordinary talent for guitar wiring.
