  • Jarvis shows off the ever-so-funky BilT Relevator LS guitars in a 3-Tone Burst, and Blue Metal Flake through a '78 Fender Princeton Reverb Combo.
    All BilT guitars are born in Des Moines, IA - a location with values that are mirrored in this guitar: fine craftsmanship & American ingenuity. One version has Lollar "JM" pickups, the other with Lollar Regal Humbuckers, both feature Mastery bridges and striking finishes.

    Very interesting tone on that neck pickup. Although the rest sounds really thin...
    Also, they clearly took their inspiration for the blue flake finish while attending a bodyglitter infested hardcore rave.

      I agree in part. Not the best demo, IMO. Check out Josh & Nick from JHS pedals, though. They always include some jams as part of their pedal demo vids. Josh usually plays a Relevator through a Fender-style amp and his stuff is great. I recommend the phase shifter episode for starters.

    It’s all right, just get the Relevator LS (less stuff). Same body style sans effects, and for BilT it’s nice to get a break from wiring the full-on Relevator. awesome!!

    Regardless of opinions on tone, I feel if you want to contrast pickups selected then you need to play the same part like the other demos.

    @josephgray4659 6 років тому +3

    I went to Bilt Guitars in Des Moines this last weekend in order to check these guitars out. They are fantastic. Everything felt so right and sounded so good.
    This demo just makes the guitar sound dead, like it has 20 year old flat wound string on it. That amp sounds drier than a nuns asshole...
    This does not do Bilt Guitars justice whatsoever.

      +Lorneplumber it's just how he's got the amp dialed in. Tone reminds me of the minutemen. dry and a lot of treble. very farty. very punk.

    • @paniccleo
      @paniccleo 8 років тому

      +Buzz McCallister totally. Neck pickups were a bit better, but it also just sounds like with a tone like that the should be picking a lot softer.
