Electrical Guitar Company (EGC) is a United States-based manufacturer of aluminum electric guitars and basses, founded around 2004 by machinist and luthier Kevin Burkett. Originally based in Pensacola, Florida, the company is now headquartered in Irondale, Alabama. EGC machines its aluminum necks from Alcoa 6061 T6 and produces its bodies, necks, and pickups in-house, sourcing remaining hardware from makers like Grover, Gotoh, and Switchcraft.

The company builds limited-run and custom instruments, with bodies offered in aluminum or acrylic. Its catalog includes the EGC Classic line — models such as the Standard, Series One through Series Five, and the EGC 500 and EGC 1000S — available in guitar, baritone, and bass configurations across multiple scale lengths. EGC also produces reissues of the legendary aluminum-neck Travis Bean designs under its Travis Bean Designs imprint.

EGC instruments have been favored by players who gravitate toward the distinctive sustain and clarity of metal-neck guitars, including Steve Albini (Shellac), Buzz Osborne (Melvins), and Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard, Tomahawk). The brand occupies a niche as a boutique builder focused on artist signature collaborations and unconventional, industrial-leaning designs.

EGC has 16 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars, Electric Basses, and Hollowbody Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 18 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock and Metal. Notable users include Buzz Osborne (aka King Buzzo), Scott Shriner, and Brent Hinds.
