Sound

My amp setup consists of three Hiwatt DR-103 100 watt halfstacks, a pair of 1968 plexi Marshall 100's, a Fender custom shop Tonemaster w/ 2X12 cab, and a Fender custom shop Two Tone amp. For a single coil guitar, this instrument is very quiet. The sound is bright with excellent bottom end, and captures the sound of a metal neck guitar far better than my Travis Beans. Neck is thin with a mirror polished aluminum fretboard, a very effective combination sound wise. I really enjoy the sound and look of this guitar, very unique and in a class all it's own.
Action, Fit, & Finish

This guitar arrived with flawless setup and finish. Neck relief was dead on, unlike a good percentage of Velenos and Beans. Both the painted and aluminum surfaces were polished to a glass smooth appearance. Very high attention to detail in this category.

In the year 4015, there will be cockroaches, igneous, and EGC guitars scattered across the planet surface.

This is a company of less than 5 people and all communication was with the owner Kevin Burkett. He was very easy to work with, open to ideas, and even eager to tackle custom work. Highly intelligent fellow and he returns calls and emails.

I've been playing for 31 years, and have a somewhat absurd pile of guitars that focus on the unique. I'm selling off a few things to pay for 3 more EGC guitars. These instruments are works of art, US made and affordable.
