Today, Lawman Guitars is Presenting..

One of our newest additions to the Lawman Guitars line of fine guitars.

Be sure to check out the video demo we did for this cool guitar!

A Brand New 2019 BiLT Relavator Guitar with the cool Brand New Mono Gigbag Case. This particular guitar has a Roasted Cypress Solid body and is finished in High Gloss Nitro and has a handcut full Tortise look Pickguard and upgraded Lollar Firebird Pickups in the Neck and Bridge Position. Roasted Maple Neck that looks awesome! They used vintage Fender fret wire on the medium C shape neck with a 9.5" radius. We added a cool Bigsby to complete this cool guitar..... WOW....What a guitar!!

The upper bout selector switches activate a coil tap in the bridge humbucker and allow the guitar to go direct to the amp setting bypassing the volume and tone controls. A cool feature pros has been asking for.

The guitar plays effortlessly with awesome low playing action. The pickups sound outstanding in this guitar. An absolute pleasure to listen to and play!

Lawman Guitars has been an Authorized BILT Guitar Dealer for over 3 years now. All my customers have loved the BiLT guitars I have sent them. These really cool Handmade guitars are made right here in Des Moines Iowa. Built by  Luthier Tim Thelen and his awesome crew…They started building custom guitars for a great line up of Bands, such as Imagine Dragons, Nels Cline of Wilco, Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit and many others. Notable players from the Des Moines Music Scene include Envy Corps and The Nadas.

Here is some info on the builders…

BilT

BilT Guitars is owned and operated by Tim Thelen in Des Moines, Iowa. Rather than go into the usual bio stuff, we thought you might like a look at our philosophy about making guitars.

We're a small company

Unless the proverbial ship comes in, you will more than likely be talking directly to the guy who is going to be carving your neck. You know, we actually like it that way because we can find out exactly what you need and deliver it. We actually care. In our opinion, the best marketing is word of mouth. We will go to great lengths to make sure you are satisfied with your guitar. Happy owners make better music and that makes us happy… so we’re all happy.

Technology!

We employ the latest building techniques as of about 1949 which includes hand tools and some machines powered by induction motors. Not to say we wouldn’t love having all of our parts arrive via long slow boat from china and we just assemble and pay for magazine ads. That’s just not in the cards, so we have to make everything by hand.

No fancy dancy woods

Not that we don’t appreciate the beauty, there are just plenty of folks making guitars with AAAAAAA, double star, prehistoric growth, eyeball flipping, got it from the bottom of a swamp etc. grades of woods. We drive to our supplier, sort through stacks of alder & maple and pick out nice plain clear boards that rock your face off.
