Rock N Roll Relics Thunders II Custom Light Aged in Black

Andertons is pleased to offer this Rock N Roll Relics Thunders II Custom in a beautiful light-aged black finish with all the Tuxedo (custom) trimmings you could ask for! It's perfectly partnered with Ratio tulip-style tuners, a Resomax bridge for perfect intonation and a duo of RNRR Relic Bucker humbucking pickups. 

The Thunders II Custom features a double-cut Mahogany body with a rolled Rosewood fingerboard. It’s the classic Rock N Roll electric guitar wood combination with a focused tone that projects loudly and responds well to dynamic playing. It's resonant and is equally at home with gentle playing as it is being dug into. This versatile tone machine covers all ground from vintage warmth to hair-raising bite and is the perfect electric guitar for players who just want to play! 

RNRR Relic Buckers

Developed in conjunction with none other than Grover Jackson, the RNRR Relic Buckers offer the key tonal foundations of the world’s most desirable electric guitar pickup with just a little extra bark in its delivery. Utilising a '50s-inspired nickel-silver baseplate in combination with 42 AWG Red Polysol Copper pickup wires, these humbuckers produce the acclaimed open and dynamic Rock N Roll tone that’s found on some of the most desirable guitars; rich in harmonics and overtones with an orchestral-like sustain. Souped-up with powerful Alnico-5 magnets, these pickups go one louder, perfect for cutting through even the busiest mix.

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.
