The MusicStreet Setup Advantage: Why Your Rock n Roll Relics Guitar Deserves It
A Rock n Roll Relics guitar is an heirloom-quality, custom-shop instrument built to tolerances that rival the finest boutique builders in the world. However, even a masterpiece straight from the California workshop requires individual optimization to match your personal playing style. Wood naturally breathes and shifts during transit across the Atlantic, and action preferences vary from player to player.
At MusicStreet, we treat every Rock n Roll Relics guitar with the reverence it deserves. We perform a **free £75 professional workshop setup** on every single instrument we sell. Our expert luthiers adjust the truss rod, file the nut slots, level the bridge saddles, and polish the frets to ensure your new instrument plays with a comfortable, buzz-free low action tailored to your touch.
🔧 Free £75 Professional Setup
Every guitar is individually set up in our in-house workshop. We adjust the action, intonation, and neck relief to match your playing style, ensuring it plays perfectly straight out of the box.
🛡️ 12-Month Warranty
We stand behind every instrument we sell. All of our Rock n Roll Relics guitars come with a full 12-month warranty, giving you complete peace of mind with your purchase.
🚚 Free UK Delivery & 7-Day Returns
Get free, fully insured UK shipping on all orders over £99. If the guitar isn't the perfect fit for your hands, return it to us within 7 days for a hassle-free refund or exchange.

The Art of the Relic: Why Rock n Roll Relics Stand Out
In the world of boutique relic guitars, Rock n Roll Relics has earned a legendary reputation. Founded by musician and luthier Billy Rowe, the brand is driven by a simple philosophy: to build guitars that feel like an extension of your body and sound like a classic record.
Unlike mass-produced factory guitars, each Rock n Roll Relics instrument is built by hand using premium tonewoods, custom-voiced pickups, and top-tier hardware. The aging process is treated as an art form—replicating the natural wear, finish checking, and patina of a guitar that has spent decades on the road.

The Heartbreaker
A stunning tribute to the classic single-cutaway design. The Rock n Roll Relics Heartbreaker features a mahogany body, a carved maple top, and a comfortable neck profile that feels instantly familiar. Loaded with premium humbuckers, it delivers the rich, woody sustain and mid-range bite that defined classic rock.
The Richards
The ultimate rock-and-roll machine. Inspired by the legendary double-cutaway designs, the Rock n Roll Relics Richards model is built for raw power and simplicity. Featuring a lightweight mahogany body and a single or dual pickup configuration, it offers incredible resonance, dynamic touch sensitivity, and a stripped-back, no-nonsense attitude.
The Blackmore
A masterclass in offset design. The Rock n Roll Relics Blackmore combines vintage styling with modern ergonomic comfort. Featuring a lightweight body, a fast neck profile, and versatile pickup options, it is the perfect choice for players who want to stand out on stage with a unique aesthetic and a powerful, articulate voice.
