Another one of those 'WTF is that guitar'
It looks so familiar I just can't place it.
Like the Marauder or Jag prototype.

Its a custom job. No switches on the top chrome plate that I can see and the headstock looks a bit different than the murauder, no lower chrome plate is visable either. Bad angle but id be its a custom job

The lower horn also looks more curvy then a Jags...
And it has a single pickup in the bridge position it seems. Looks Gorgous.

I know, I saw that too and was like what dah..... it looks kind of like a BilT revelator but.... it has no pickups like a real marauder.
maybe he just got them to make him a super simple one with just one pickup and none of the extra crap.

I'd bet it's a modified/custom build Bilt relevlator (as Mages says) look at the head stock and the decal on it.
Probably has a custom Pickguard and plates.
I think I can see the edge of a bridge pickup, follow his arm up from the wristband.
There is a black corner and a silver screw in the pickguard, I would say it's a humbucker.
*EDIT* just noticed the matsubatory bridge (LOL)
And that picture is HUGE, sorry!
*EDIT* spelling corrected

Gibson marauder?
If so i had one and got rid as it was shite!
The only thing i regret is it's probably worth more than the 150 quid i sold it for now.

Bilt; you can just about make the name out on the headstock.

As already pointed out numerous times, it's a BilT
Relevator -- but here's a better photo:

I like it, very cool colour. Could have done with a neck pickup though.

So just to clarify, what kind of guitar do we think it is?

Just under $2000 I believe. You can contact them via their website for a quote.

I wasn't trying to be a dick, just posting a photo of the actual guitar with visible headstock while everyone was speculatively blathering.
