This Bilt Zaftig in it's bound variation is specked out to the max with some unique features that we wanted to see on this model. It came out incredibly well, with a plethora of gorgeous tones via it's three Curtis Novak Bass VI pickups (wound for guitar) from fat, thick rhythm sounds in the neck position to Tele-like twang in the bridge and bigger bolder Strat tones in the three in-between positions.

Each pickup has its own slide switch to turn it on or off, the last slide switch (furthest from the cutaway) is a high pass filter (HPF). This switch bleeds bass to ground in order to get a brighter tone that cuts through a mix with ease. You also have a rhythm circuit for the neck pickup with it's own volume and tone sliders for a preset dark-circuit, like on a Jazzmaster. 

This Bound Zaftig is finished in a Firemist Silver Metallic finish with a natural Mahogany back. The top has a unique Cats Eye style F-hole, which is bound like the body and neck. The Maple neck has some gorgeous flame figure to it and is carved to a nice and full feeling Chunky C back profile. Last but not least, this Bilt is equipped with a Mastery Bridge and Vibrato for an unrivaled offset-vibrato performance with stable tunability and spot on intonation.
