Pros

The Rock kit is well judged and delivers big on all counts.

Cons

It is a limited edition kit, so availability is low.

The bottom line

The Catalina series is impressive and the Rock incarnation delivers in the same way that the smaller kits do. Well judged savings in shell furniture mean that shells (and heads) are good quality and serve up a sound and feel that befits its impressive physical status.
