NGD- BilT Relevator XII in Ice Blue Metallic!
Came in yesterday after a harrowing journey via Fedex Ground... Make sure you insure your shipments folks- you'll never regret it.
(Basically the package disappeared from Fedex's tracking system for 6 days while it was on a truck between Kentucky and Utah)
anyway- here it is, fresh from eBay- I believe I am the third or fourth owner of this beauty:
BilT Relevator LS XII in Ice Blue Metallic!
B&B Maple neck with rosewood board, matchy-matchy headstock swoosh, and Lollar Gold Foil pickups! Here's some pics:
WTF?!?! Only 11 strings? I believe I am cursed to always have to replace that one string...
I think a change of strap is warranted- not digging the conflicting blues.
OHSC, Baby! - a minor scuff on the outside of the case is the only actual flaw I can find- the guitar itself is pristine!
I haven't even had a chance to plug it in yet- looking forward to putting it through the paces this weekend!

That's gorgeous! I love the refinements on the headstock.
It looks Italian -- that's a good thing in my book.

What am absolutely stunning guitar, congratulations! Goldfoils are my favourite pickups as well, I use MOJO versions as I'm in the UK and I've never known anything as versatile.
Enjoy! I'd love to get a Bilt one day, but they're pretty scarce over here

Nice! I paused looking at the bridge picture and my mind went blank for a second wondering if there was a missing string. Glad my brain was right. LOL

I’d love to hear that one with those Goldfoils….

Crazy cool, I'm extremely jelly. Don't forget the compressor!

Re: NGD- BilT Relevator XII in Ice Blue Metallic!
it always seems to be the g string that breaks for me...
Congrats on the beauty!
If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

Sexy AF!
Was this the catalyst for your big sell off? If so, it looks like it was well worth it.

Same. My XII has the same bridge and I've had to replace the G-octave string three times in two years.jakeisjake wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 11:24 amit always seems to be the g string that breaks for me...

Great looking guitar! Congrats!!! I live in Ogden Utah, and the last two guitars that were shipped to me got lost for a few days with Fed Ex! Glad you got yours:)
