With the Rock N Roll Relic guitars from Bill Rowe, the founder of Rock N Roll Relics, you can tell that he experienced the Rock music of the 70s and 80s live as a guitarist. It simply doesn't get any more authentic than that! Billy played rhythm and slide guitar with Jetboy, one of the pioneers of the incredible scene that spawned Guns'n'Roses and Poison. After decades as a touring musician and technician Billy Rowe had rebuilt countless guitars and realized he had a lot to offer the guitar building world. So in 2005 he founded Rock N Roll Relics, driven by a passion to build nothing less than all-around amazing guitars characterized by superb craftsmanship and the finest materials. And this Blackheart is proof of that. Super lightweight with only 2770 grams, but a heavyweight sound. The Lollar pickups leave nothing to be desired. The bridge pickup delivers uncompromising Rock'n'Roll sound and the P90 on the neck is simply pure Blues. Super response, not least thanks to the ebony fingerboard. The neck has a strong '59 profile with pleasant rounded shoulders. Plays great! All in all, a super Rock guitar in terms of looks, sound and playability and still in mint condition!
