Almost done. Getting it in a week. anticipation is nearing unbearable. I've been talking to Bilt for almost a year about making a shortscale version of their relevator [normally 25.5 and I wanted 24] and about 4 months ago they finished the designs and said they could build me one. It has two Loller wideranges and a lipstick in the middle. I had them swap out the delay and put in a pedal I sent them: Prescription Electronics Experience.

I've been intrigued by these guitars since I saw them a while back. Can you just switch the effects out totally if a battery runs out mid-gig or something? I would definitely have the delay, but 2 fuzzes in one guitar is also pretty awesome. That finish is reaal nice.

Thanks for the good words! It's effects are powered by running a trs cable from the guitar to a little pedal box in the front of your chain that gets powered by your power supply; standard 9v. It's done as of today. It's strung up and will set over the weekend, final setup Monday and shipped.

Those Lollar WRHB are really nice; I played a Nash tele custom that had one and it sounded great.

That's cool as fuck! I really like the headstock and of course the chrome + million switches.
