Revelation Guitars: Cheapo JM guitars

Post by lokmund »

Hi ho hey and such!

My inherent gas for a mazzjaster is too much to handle at the moment, so I'm considering this very unknown brand called Revelation. Comes from the UK and is probably built in ze east. Anyone on here with hands on experience with one of these? Because when it will cost me approx. $240 including shipping and norwegian vat, I have to admit that it is all too tempting. :omg:

Here's a couple of vids from a Mr. Lord Fuzz Man.

I've looked at them several times, particularly the cheap 12 string, but never bit the bullet. So also interested in any real opinions!

I don't have any hands on experience with their guitars but I did,on a massive whim, buy one of their Mandocasters that was on sale in my local guitar shop and its really solid, well put together instrument. So not totally a massive help but I've had no problems with it.

I think they used to do a Bass VI style model with P90s as well which I've always wanted to try.

So far i have found two dealers:

1 - Sutherland Trading: They have no prices or cart. Only an Enquire button. But then again, they have this picture:

:love:

2 - Hot Rox UK: Brilliant name chaps, 10 points. This seems to be the place to shop!

They have lots of models in stock and also automatically remove UK VAT, which is great for a non-EU person like me. Dunno what will happen post-Bixit tho. They have mazzjasters, hollowbodies, LPs with P90s and a JM baritone with 3 P90s! No pic tho since i couldn't snag a link so go check yourself:

I find it funny that they don't have a jazzmaster tremolo on any of their jazzmaster models but DO have one on their Vox Phantom :idk:

Feels good to make others gassy! :lol:

I'm guessing you USAers don't have to pay the VAT either so remember to look at the ex VAT price.
