help Rock N Roll Relics Thunders FAQ
Is the Rock N Roll Relics Thunders connected to Johnny Thunders?
Yes. Its stripped-down single-cut design and name evoke the Les Paul Junior associated with New York Dolls and Heartbreakers guitarist Johnny Thunders.
Why does the Thunders use a single P-90 pickup?
A bridge P-90 and simple volume-and-tone circuit follow the direct layout of a 1950s Les Paul Junior. The result has more midrange bite than many Fender-style single coils while retaining more raw edge than a typical humbucker.
Where are Rock N Roll Relics guitars built?
Rock N Roll Relics builds aged guitars in San Francisco, California. The worn finish is created intentionally rather than resulting from decades of touring.
How is the Thunders different from a Les Paul Standard?
The Thunders favors a flat, Junior-style body and a single P-90 instead of the carved maple top and twin humbuckers associated with a Les Paul Standard. That simpler layout is central to its punk and straight-ahead rock character.
