from the guys i know that have / have played them, dudes are pretty - for lack of a better word - evangelical about egc's. bet if you posted on their faceblech / twitter someone local-ish would pipe up and offer to let you check theirs out...

Haha that's too true! I feel like proselytizing and sermonizing all day about my EGC, it just sounds that good. I think the aluminum sound just speaks to some people, so bright and clear and ballsy and chimey, and once you get that in your ear-holes you're hooked.

I wonder if EGC would do a hollowbody/chambered design. I've always wanted an aluminum hollowbody bass. I saw GVSB many many years ago, and I swear one of the bass players had one.

[Holy Schnikes]

^ I betcha he'd do it no problemo....

Kevin mentioned to me he's never turned down a custom request except for one time when he was asked to make a spot on copy. All others have been fulfilled.

the chessie is a semi-hollow, so i would bet he would be able to do a semi-hollow bass.

also, gvsb is awesome!

I keep thinking how badass it would be to have an EGC version of one of these:



All polished aluminum. It just seems like kind of a great idea. Like the simplest most affordable guitar taken into a spaceship or something. Plus, nobody gets shortscale EGC's.

[Holy Schnikes]

^ Would rule, think you'd be the first with one of those as well.

Sorta reminds me of a Mosrite 350 based EGC I saw awhile back....

Mama that's hotttttttttttt.

The fun thing is that even the solid body aluminum ones are hollow inside. FEEDBACK TOANZ

Dude? That's actually one of my favorite guitar designs. I'd totally buy an aluminum version. The only thing I'd change about it would be having a contoured body. Sometimes that slab gets a little uncomfortable. BTW, kosta, scale length on mine's 25.75". I think they just look short because of the design.

Yeah, thought it was a Tele of course but eventually realized the truth. I like how he throws a pickup blend knob it the toggle switch position, surprised I've never seen that feature utilized before.

Yup, gotta keep that weight down I guess.

Yours is gorgeous btw dude, just admiring it and many others on their FB photo album, stunning in every way. No controls = more real estate for that awesome brushed finish plus it's a bass so who needs controls anyway.

I love me some contours!

Really???? I'll have to measure mine. Feels like a Jag to me, but I guess the bridge is way the hell back there isn't it? If it is full scale that's even cooler yet. I'm thinking about throwing a surface-mount gold-foil down near the bridge on mine. Great playing little guitar. Contour might not be a bad idea at all.

EDIT: Just dusted mine off and measured it. You are totally right. Seems to ~25.5"ish. Crazy.

Years ago I saw tons of those Kay guitars on eBay and they were super cheap, but people were starting to sell them as they'd heard that people were dusting off old Les Pauls and Strats out of the attic and selling them for thousands on eBay.

I had wanted to experiment with building that same body style with contours, thinner neck profile, etc, or just buy and refurbish the ones on eBay. Never got to do any of that though..

Those Kay guitars are awesome though!
