I want to hear that guitar; it is beautiful.

seems to me an aluminum guitar that thin is going back to the original problem they had with the Velenos...they were so thin that they were unstable tuning-wise because they expanded/contracted with temperature fluctuation. Todd Rundgren said the stage lights made his Veleno go out of tune.

Though that is a logical concern, it doesn't explain the insanely huge amount of bands using EGC instruments these days. I don't think that Isis and Torche would be using them if they went out of tune easily. In fact, when I saw Torche live, I was surprised by how little the bass player had to tune. He only turned on his tuner to tune between drop-D and standard.

1. Jazzmaster

2. Strymon Timeline

3. Eventide Space

$2300 well spent!

Wait, you are also gasing for the Space?

Finally gave in to the Space GAS last week, it's awesome, although overkill for a reverb. It's like part 'verb/part delay/part modulation/part weird noisemaker.

That and the Timeline should keep me busy for quite awhile!

I'm actually enjoying my Toronado so much, right now I'm leaning towards having Kevin @ K-Line make me a custom offset with 'buckers.

Damn, that'd be cool. I'd get an Electrical lucite aluminum neck if i were you just because it sounds like...crazy.

i wasn't referring to the EGC guitars there...i was referring to the Obstructures, which seem terribly thin to the point of diminishing returns. the EGCs look fine.

I could never spend more than $600 on a single guitar. I wouldn't be able to play it. I barely touch even my MIM Strat because I'm afraid of doing something to it. I like cheap old guitars like the Korean old Korean Squiers, Teiscos, Kay, and Harmonys. But thats just me.

[DarkAxel]

The only reason why i'd be afraid of buying and beating up say... PRS is that they look incredibly stupid while not in pristine condition it's an instrument and when i play it i'm not afraid of any battle scars... it's rock'n'roll and the instrument should not look like it's locked up in a safe

ps: stupid sturdy polyester finish on my tele

the best thing about it is that i wonder if it's even possible to scratch ECG (in standart life conditions, every day situations) - is it?

from the EGC website's FAQ:

"What if I scratch my guitar?"
Polished aluminum - buff it out. For extreme scratches, you may need to wet sand it out. If you dont feel comfortable doing this, send it back to me and I would be happy to take care of it.
Anodized - Reanodize
Chrome - Chrome is very hard to scratch, but if you do manage to, its nearly impossible to buff out. Rechroming will be the only fix.
