Rock N Roll Relics Starfighter JR Light Aged in Lake Placid Blue

Andertons is pleased to offer this Rock N Roll Relics Starfighter JR in a Light Aged Lake Placid Blue finish. It's perfectly aged and genuinely looks like it's been someone's main guitar for the last 50 years. With its single pickup and single volume control this is the perfect guitar for players who shape their tone with their hands.

Featuring a Mahogany double-cutaway Jet-inspired body with a Maple top, this Starfighter JR has the classic mid-range thump, warm depths, and sparking highs that are often found on many of the most desirable electric guitars of the ‘50s and ‘60s. It is dynamic and sensitive and thanks to its lightweight body, it provides a resonant tone with plenty of harmonic sustain. The Starfighter JR pushes boundaries and demonstrates what can be achieved with your hands rather than an arsenal of pickups and controls. There is a rawness to it which is hard not to fall in love with!

• 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.

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.

RNRR P90

The Rock N Roll Relics P90 pickup takes influence from the classic single-coil P90 design of the late 1940s and ‘50s. It has a powerful, mid-focused tone that cuts through anything with a present top-end and a weighty richness that embellishes every note or chord. Full of harmonic sustain and musical overtones, the RNRR Relics P90 has a bark like no other. Built under guide from luthier legend, Grover Jackson, this pickup is made with all the key components of the original. It's slightly overwound and uses Alnico 5 magnets for even more thump and increased power!
