Rock N Roll Relics Thunders II Custom - Billie Joe Armstrong Spec

Rock N Roll Relics

Founded in 2005 by genuine Rock N Roll legend, Billy Rowe, Rock N Roll Relics blends Billy’s obsession with vintage ‘relic’d’ guitars, his love of premium boutique instruments and his passion for guitar building and maintenance. From humble beginnings in a make-shift workshop in a relative’s garage and a store on eBay, Billy grew RNRR to become one of the most prominent custom guitar workshops on the scene. Based in North Hollywood, Billy and his small team have built guitars for Billie Joe Armstrong, Glen Campbell and Bruce Kulick to name just a few. Everyone at Rock N Roll Relics is a guitarist, building what they love with a genuine passion for what they do.

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.

• Classic Shape - The Rock N Roll Relics Thunders II  Custom sports a Double-Cut JR shape that just feels right. Perfect weight distribution, effortless access to higher notes and a general allure that stops you from putting it down.
• 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 Resomax bridge and select pickups. Not to mention its world-class build quality.
• Tried and Tested - Utilising the tried and tested wood combination of a Mahogany neck and body in combination with a Rosewood fingerboard, the RNRR Thunders II Custom produces a powerful, mid-focused, rich tone that wants to be played loud!
