Rock N Roll Relics Lightning Goldtop Heavy Aging (2020)

Billy Rowe, the founder of Rock N Roll Relics, has spent his entire life thinking about how to make guitars sound, feel, and play great. The San Francisco native grew up listening to classic 70s Rock and landed right in the middle of the 1980s Rock explosion that first lit up Hollywood's Sunset Strip and then blew up speakers worldwide. After decades as a touring musician and technician he founded Rock N Roll Relics in 2005, driven by a passion to build nothing less than all-around amazing guitars, characterized by outstanding craftsmanship and the finest materials. This is evident in this Lightning: fantastic playability thanks to a super comfortable '59 profile neck with a 12" radius. The guitar resonates beautifully and the cream-colored DiMarzio "36 Anniversary PAF" humbuckers perfectly transmit this exceptional resonance to the amp. A rich, fat sound with great attack and plenty of bite and midrange. ...and Billy's particular passion for relicing is evident here as well, as he uses artificial aging to create the look and feel of an instrument played for years. Minor and major nicks, wear in characteristic areas and a wonderfully matte vintage patina adorn the guitar, which appearance is particularly captivating thanks to the extensive, artificial verdigris. But beneath the cracked finish and vintage look lie the highest quality materials, crafted with first-class workmanship to create a Custom-Shop-level instrument. The body and neck are made of premium mahogany and the top is made of the most resonant maple. It's definitely no wonder that guitar virtuosos like Gilby Clarke, Bruce Kulick, Rick Nielsen, and Billy Joe Armstrong have been ardent fans of Billy Rowe's instruments for years. We, too, are admirers of guitars from Rock N Roll Relics and this fantastic semi-hollow model in particular has truly captivated us. Especially since this ultra-aged version, which had a list price of almost EUR 4,300, can no longer be found anywhere, neither new nor used. So we are delighted to offer you this magnificent Lightning including the frets in top condition.
