HARMONY ROCKET guitars - A trip to the stars and today’s stars trippin’ - Guitar Discoveries

#HarmonyRocket #VintageHarmonyRocket #GoldFoilPickups
Some of today’s most interesting and innovative musicians CHOOSE to play Harmony Rockets when they can afford to play ANYTHING they want. Are they trippin’?
Back when they were new (late50s-early 70s), Rockets were considered mere mid-level guitars. But today, artists are using them to shoot for the stars. What’s up?
Robert Cassard plays his 1965 Harmony Rocket H59, with 3 DeArmond Gold Foil Pickups, and shares the history of Harmony's very popular thinline hollowbody guitar.
He also shares aa list of fellow "Rocket scientists" — musicians of today who choose Rockets for their unique tone and mojo.

Hi, my name is Robert Cassard. I'm a lifelong guitar player, singer-songwriter, producer, and music fanatic. I create Guitar and Recording Discoveries videos with a simple goal: to make YOU a better, happier, more confident musician!

In 2018, after more than 40 years as a pro musician, I started sharing my experiences through easy-to-understand YouTube videos — giving you shortcuts to de-mystify playing, singing and recording.

My "day job" is as a video writer/producer/director. Often it's hard to balance my need to earn a living with my desire to share the pure joy of music through the YouTube videos I make for free.

Your ongoing support means the world to me and encourages me do more of what I love — sharing musical discoveries to help and inspire you! I invite you to become a "Guitar Discoverer” by signing up on Patreon so I can keep providing you the most value I can. https://www.patreon.com/robertcassard
