This is a new style of the Bilt Relevator LS, which was spec'd out for our store with some very lively/resonant and lightweight tone woods (7lbs 0.7oz) The body is Western Red Cedar and the neck is built out of Spanish Cedar.
Spanish Cedar is similar in wood species to Mahogany, but is much lighter in weight, strong and resonant. The Truss-rod adjustment is now at the headstock, compared to older Bilt Guitars with the adjustment at the heel, which required taking off the neck to adjust.
The neck carve on this guitar is a new for Bilt, Chunky Soft V shape which feels incredible. The neck measures .86-.96 in depth. A very classy low-gloss Nitro finish was applied to the entire instrument. The one ply Tortoise Pickguard is of high quality and compliments the natural finish beautifully.
The handwound Silverhand Gold-Foil Single-Coil pickups in a Humbucker housing truly deliver vintage "Guyatone" style Gold-Foil pickup tone. They are hot and aggressive enough to push your amp into overdrive but they are also more than capable of delivering gorgeous airy and articulate single-coil/Gold Foil clarity. Very versatile for all styles of music.
We chose to go with a Mannmade Custom Classic 2-Pin Vibrato like those seen on guitars built by the likes of Ronin, Tao and other high-end, forward thinking guitar builders. You can do so much with a vibrato setup like this and the Steel-Block adds so much sustain to this Offset style guitar; which is usually equipped with "Offset style" Mastery Hardware (also a great choice, just very different) The springs are exposed and there is no backplate which is another esthetically pleasing appointment.  All in all this is a classy, versatile one of a kind Bilt Guitar that has a lot going for it.
