Rock N Roll Relics is owned and operated by Billy Rowe. Rowe grew up in San Francisco before moving to Los Angeles to play rhythm and slide guitar in Jetboy, part of the Hollywood music scene that spawned Guns N’Roses and Poison. During his many years as a touring musician and tech, Billy Rowe had stripped down and rebuilt countless guitars. Based on this experience Billy launched Rock N Roll Relics in 2005, as a hand-built custom guitar company. He started out in a garage building guitars with a relic-ed vintage look. His instruments found success with players like Glen Campbell, Gilby Clarke, Bruce Kulick, Rick Nielsen, Bob Rock, Derek St. Holmes and Billie Joe Armstrong.
