Damn it, I searched for Bilt, and Relevator.
I know which guitar you mean Gavin but I thought since this is a copy of a Fender headstock design that might have been different.

the demo they have up for this is fucking stupid, it explains nothing and showcases no real sounds at all.
it would be better if they just described how it worked and the switches/sound. i think they are cool, and the price is not that weird to me.
in reality its cheap....
i say this without knowing how they are building but since its a small luthier styled shop its pretty good, you gotta figure that in just wood alone its about 150 bucks, then all the switches are around 100-150 bucks.
then the trem plate, tuners, pups, wire, paint, frets(tey are on the cheapz tho)
so in raw parts its probly 600-1,000.00 on its own(depending)
that does not include hands on work time like sanding, soldering, painting, fret work, set up work, etc.
so, yeah, good price.
im afraid that i would re-wire it and get rid of the fuzz thing and probly change the pup situation.

With the components they used it's kinda strange that it ended up this badly. Specs-wise it seems like it would play/ring out like a Jazzmaster, but clearly that's not the case. Perhaps it was poorly set up??Mike wrote:Jesus Christ. that guitar sounds like shit. Watch the pickup selector one. It's just GASH.
Audible buzzing, zero sustain, fretnoise, eurgh
