Since you all have endured Antigua Week I wanted to give you a little extra with a stunning EGGPLANT SPARKLE BURST Bilt “Homermobile” extra super duper custom guitar.

Practically brand new, left handed Bilt Relevator. The most unique guitar I've ever played, it's a head turner and definitely stands out. The finish is called Eggplant Sparkle Burst, which is a gold flake sparkle to a deep reddish-purple flake sparkle. Matching headstock with painted black swoosh. Alder body, Birdseye maple fingerboard with black block inlay. 2 Lollar wide range humbuckers and a Lollar gold foil in the middle. 3 on/off buttons control the pickups, and it has Bilt's hi/lo circuit. The only blemish is tiny on the tip of the headstock. This thing plays better/sounds better than any Fender style offset guitar. Includes Bilt TKL hard case and documentation.
Or feel free to message me about trades!

Also, I love this “just the tip” photo. It’s like an unsolicited dick pic at the end of the Reverb listing.

After a week of Shart-o-caster finishes this tasteless thing looks almost acceptable.

 

[Monson]

Tastefully understated.

 

[Flamencology]

I’d totally buy that if I was participating in a Secret Santa with a $4000 limit and I drew the name of a left-handed guitar-lover who I find especially insufferable.

 

[tiger roach]

Delightfully tacky.

I'm not sure I'd want to deal with it. Each time I consider buying a Bilt guitar, I always read that they are a little large, really don't want to deal with that.
Anyone here ever play one?

 

[jelloman]

Oh, for fuck's sake...

I have played a couple. They’re not noticeably chonky when you play them. Their weird offset t-style is actually pretty comfy.

They’re fine and definitely booteeky in terms of general feel and appointments. I’ve only ever played one I loved and I’ve never wanted to bite the bullet on a special order (and the lower resale value) enough to go for it.

This was the one I tried and played and liked a lot.

It’s also pretty ugly and not what I was looking for so I didn’t buy it.

Lord Almighty

Oh, for fuck's sake...

Yup.

While this is still fairly horrible…. It is MILES better than Antigua.

At least it looks like something that would be played by a bandmember in the background of a Quentin Tarantino…


… instead of the result shat by a dog that was eating out of the garbage can.

True, it's only polite to turn your head when you puke.

That's my vibe! It needs a Bigsby, JM, or Mosrite trem though.

 

[Chicken Man]

That is a spectacular horror.
