Electrical Guitar Company Guitars

Great thread. Definitely getting both a guitar and bass made from these guys when I'm back working Full-Time.

Really into the idea of a Lucite body/ aluminum neck. It would sound wild!

I just got mine in early June. It's a beast!

27.5" scale with a German carved anodized body.

The neck is SUPER thin...like an Ibanez Wizard neck, but it's crazy how quick you get used to it.
My 60s neck LP Custom now feels like a baseball bat to me

Whenever anyone asks me what it sounds like, all I can tell them is that it sounds like a piano!
The amount of articulation is insane, even with a heavy thick fuzz like a Megalith. It sounds like
the gates of Hell grinding open!

Amazing.

I can't decide between p90s and HBs. I like your solution.
Do you know if the humbucker is mounted to the neck like a standard pickup (with the side tabs)? Could you swap it out later?

It's AWESOME! Congrats man! One of the coolest I've seen, I love it :drool:

I've had my EGC almost 2 months now and I'm still blown away by the sound... I'm like dase, I ain't ever going back!

That is stunning.

Is that a pickup blend knob by itself? Looks amazing.

Damn that baritone is gorgeous! And I don't even really like contours. That German carve with all of that shiny metal just looks SO GOOD.

As far as I know, he follows the old Travis Bean design where it's all mounted directly in, but on Buzzo's and Duane Denisen's guitars he uses Gibson pickups, so
I need to open it up soon to replace the pots. They're all linear, so my volume goes from full blast to off with an eight of turn. Haha.
That's my only complaint though!

Is that a pickup blend knob by itself?

Yes it is! It's my first guitar to incorporate this. It's insane with oscillating fuzzes. You can dial in all sorts of usable skronks and skreeks with precise adjustment of that blend knob!
It's also a lot quicker that you'd think when switching between pickups in a more conventional sense. It's not quite as jarring when playing ambient as well. You can just casually
drift between tones.

Thanks so much! And thanks to Kevin. We worked on this thing for a year and it slowly took shape. It was an absolute shock to me when I saw it. It's more amazing than I had ever imagined.
Every time, I walk into my music space, it just catches my eye. The lines, the curves, the simple, almost minimal design aesthetic.
If most people compare guitar shapes to women, then I have to say it reminds me of the android Maria from Metropolis.
German expressionism for the win!!!

I am going to have to ask you to post pics of that beast.

Check out page 2 of this forum, about halfway down the page, there's a thread called Ryan's EGC with pics of my Standard Baritone.... man I love that guitar. I like it more every time I hear it, it's too cool.

Ryan's EGC Thread, if I may : viewtopic.php?f=188&t=25722

That thing is just beyond killer Ryan.

[stillborn]

That thing is pure sex.

ive had mine for some three and a half months now and every time i pick her up i love her more and more!

if i wasnt having issues with my car and needing to hold onto my monies for a new one i would go ahead with my plans on something

[radish]

There are some great EGC guitars in here. I've had a full aluminum series one for a little over a year. They truly are amazing instruments. I have become so accustomed to the neck I can't play other guitars without it feeling weird.

If only i weren't broke; I have been plotting the second one for a while.
