That's sweet, man! Good to see a Des Moines DIY-er getting some national exposure.

Also, those Bilt guitars look sweet. I had no idea they were here in Des Moines.

Yeah, they're set up in the back room of the Lutherie Shop near Drake. It's the same three guys, they just have a different name for the custom guitar business as opposed to the guitar repair business.

Oh really? Huh, never knew. I used to go to the same church as Shane and we played some tunes together. Never knew he built guitars.

Guys a beast, though.

Ah, not Shane, sorry. It's Bill, Tim and Scott (mostly Bill and Tim for the custom guitars, hence the name BilT).

Shane's the guitar tech for Imagine Dragons now - he's the one who put together Wayne's pedalboard which is how I got hooked up with them. Not sure if it's a permanent gig or just a one-time thing, but I know he went on tour with them to Europe in December.

Small world!

That's gotta be a great feeling. Well-deserved, too.
