Key Features

• The Right Ingredients - No stone is left unturned, and no shortcuts are made in ensuring that every Rock N Roll Relics guitar is the best it possibly can be. From its premium tonewoods, Nitrocellulose Lacquer, Jescar frets, CTS pots & Paper and Oil caps, its TonePro bridge and select pickups. Not to mention its world-class build quality.
• Classic Design - The Rock N Roll Relics Lightning Custom sports a thinline double-cut semi-hollow body with unique lightning bolt-shaped sound holes. Thanks to its semi-hollow design this guitar offers unrivalled versatility with tones ranging from Smooth Jazz to Hard Rock.
• Tried and Tested - Utilising the tried and tested wood combination of a semi-hollow Mahogany body with a Maple top; the RNRR Lightning produces an open and resonant tone with acoustic-like sustain and overtones. Its solid centre block ensures the core attack of the note is kept intact.

Mojotone FilterTrons

Regarded as one of the best FilterTron-styled pickups available, the Mojotone MojoTron captures the true essence and vibe of the ‘60s originals. Built using the same materials and composition as the originals, these FilterTrons have the renowned jangly hi-fi humbucking tone that they are famous for. Altered slightly with modern players in mind, these FilterTrons feature a more accurate string spacing and a slightly hotter bridge pickup for improved dynamics and articulation as well as a more even balance between the neck and bridge pickups.

Secret Sauce

Utilising an arsenal of ‘secret tools’ every Rock N Roll Relics guitar receives just the right amount of ageing and relicing. The guitars look and feel authentic, like they have stories to tell and like they have been someone’s number one for the last 30 or so years. From gentle finish fading with tarnished hardware all the way to completely weather-checked and beat up, there’s an option that’s right for everyone.
