Comments: This is wonderful guitar built to last several lifetimes. The neck is thin and trim - very different from by Travis Bean 1000S. The sound from the single-coils is crisp and clean (when I want to it to be) and snarly when called for. An EGC is a great bargain in todays guitar market. This guitar blows away anything comparable from Fender or Gibson or PRS. This guitar has hand-wound alnico pick-ups - designed to be similar to the TB 500s the collectors are clamoring for. People have told me it is the most beautiful electric guitar they have ever seen.
The construction is superb, although I wish the aluminum plate on the back could be recessed into the body. I expect the EGC designs will evolve in the coming years and improvements will be made.
If you want a metal neck guitar, this is an excellent choice. Hats off to Kevin and EGC crew for producing a fine instrument.
