I enjoy your music. It is so heartfelt, spacious, and airy, with just a dusting of melancholy to taste. Thank you for showing us what you bench. It is interesting to see other artists’ guitars.
That neck rhythm circuit is to absolutely die for!!!
Thank you!
I noticed the pickup change from her Premier Guitar rig down to her show her in Eugene, OR. It was you Mike! :) And yes, sounded fantastic live. Bravo!
Great video! Love the Zaftig-and that rhythm circuit, too.
Great sound and playing. Thank you.
Some lovely playing on a lovely guitar. This made my Friday morning.
Yesssssss I was just listening to History Speaks this morning on my run. Great timing!
Just got Deep sea diver’s album on vinyl and now I’ve decided to order myself a bilt from the local shop. Hope it won’t disappoint.
Sounds great - Awesome guitar and new pickups! The ultra clean wiring pleases my OCD tendencies. Thanks for sharing :)
It’s a thing of joy to see you so happy with a wiring job.
Thats it! I'm throwin down for those WR's. Thanks for the play through Mike.
Stunning sound, makes me want those WRs now! My Zaftig has Lollar Gold Foils currently; love the guitar overall but I'm looking for pups with a bit more oomph. Great video!
The Jazzmaster pickup form factor is so great, you can fit nearly any pickup in there. So many great choices out there. Though I wonder that now Fender have reissued WRHBs with Cunife magnets if other makers will be able to lay hands on them too
Big DSD fan and Jessica is a big reason I recently bought a Bilt. Love the guitar. Has Lollar Firebirds and a Bigsby. Thing is amazing! Love the Lollars so much I’m getting the Lollar Vintage pickups added in my Tele. Can’t wait to get it back!
Just saw Deep Sea Diver at Harlow's Sacramento and they were fantastic and at first, I thought that was her Starcaster sitting on the guitar rack.
It sounded great and she sounded great!
Output is the main reason I could never get my favorite guitars, Jazzmasters, to work for live play. The Fender Noventa Jazzmaster (with the middle P-90 lowered and pole pieces raised) solves most of those isses and I discovered I love P-90s!
Does BiLT use Orange Drop Capacitors? Pretty nice!
That may be the best sounding guitar I’ve ever heard. Wow.
Mike, I just got done playing a Guild S-200 Thunderbird. I can't escape how Jazzmaster-like the whole thing is.
1: Very odd control layout not unlike a Jaguar. Practically two separate circuits.
2: Oddball pickups. Something like mini-humbuckers and pho-foil pickups.
3: Janky trem. Surface mounted, shallow break angle, long stretch between the tune-o-matic bridge and the fulcrum. Not as long as a Fender Jazzmaster, but Guild has never been the ambitious sort.
4: Offset body. Or at least it sits in the lap and hangs off the strap that way. I've always thought they were indecently garish guitars, but I'm having second thoughts now.
Have you ever worked on them, and would you compare them to traditional offset guitars?
took me a minute to see that jumper that runs between. That is a cool idea. And, the little plug is fucking genius
on a regular Jazzmaster , the position of the volume knob is too close to the bridge pickup ; always on the way of
the hand ... the BILT guys were very smart solving this issue ...
I retired from 21 years in the communications field. Rule one, slack is your friend. Unless you have a wire stretcher.
I was thinking, while watching this, about the Explorer I have with like 3 feet of excess wire in it.
By the way you are my favorite GuitarTube personalitiy!
Honestly, I’m not even into Offset guitars (although you are convincing me to give them a shot), your passion for them and knowledge is just infectious.
You owe it to yourself to try one
Now I want to see how the wiring looks under josh Scott’s built guitar considering it has 45 pickups
I solved the no knock solution for the panorama tremolo. The unit is coming into contact with the guitars cavity and being amplified cause tis the bridge. THe bottom plate is larger on the panorma. If you shave , sand out some material you get no knock and way better return to pitch. I do like your spring upgrade tho but my solution is the real one lol!! please mention Raymond FRom the Rock and Roll Creeps as the one who figured it out first thanks!!
did they just use a long piece of solder to ground the pots? that is brilliant
I need that shirt
Have you tried Railhammer Humcutters? If so what’s your opinion?
Hi Mike, please don’t forget to review the Jazzmaster Vintera serie when you have one close to your fingers!!!
Mike, just out of curiosity … how did you feel about the wiring? 😉 I completely get it. I have found myself way too excited about a great wiring job several times as well. It is a beautiful thing.
Cath!! Uh oh, I think you’re going to make me get WRHBs in my Jazzmaster again
@Puisheen I have a MIJ 2011 fender pawn shop mustang special, and I’ve been having issues with it not being able to handle certain cables. what could be the potential issue?
I’m stealing that ground bus idea, genius.
❤️
Random question, have you played the Squier Contemporary Jaguar yet? any opinions?
Man I discovered Deep Sea Diver about 3 weeks ago and Jessica Dobson is an amazing guitarist. Love everything about their music, and a total bonus she uses Jazzmaster and Jazzmaster-inspired guitars. Side note: I really want to hear your thoughts on the Vintera 60s Jazzmaster. Its the only one in my price range with vintage specs and the rhythm circuit 😁
what a beautiful guitar (i want it give it)
Hey Mike. In your opinion, what's the biggest difference a Thinline body makes?
The Zaftig is just THE guitar.
Zaftig is both Yiddish and German (both languages have words from each other). It means juicy in German. Saft means juice in German. Of course in Yiddish the saucier overtones are right up front.
Nice shirt.
11:15 - Thank you for not saying "orientate". Great content as always!
The guitarist from Paramore is clearly playing one of these Bilt guitars in more recent videos. Just curious, were the old pickups too low output and these are higher or...?
Cookie 👏 party 👏 for 👏 sure👏
Commenting for algorithm goo
I would imagine that the yiddish word zaftig comes from the german word "Saftig", of which the literal translation would be juicy
Cath is one of the best guitar sound recorded by dcfc
Ah Sappig!
That Get Offset t shirt
Between Josh Scott and this, I have a bad case of Bilt envy.
I need to quit watching your videos before I buy an offset for no other reason than they look cool...
