Electrical Guitar Company (EGC) is a builder of all-aluminum and aluminum-neck electric guitars and basses, founded by machinist and luthier Kevin Burkett. Originally based in Pensacola, Florida and later relocated to Irondale, Alabama, the shop machines its aluminum necks, bodies, and pickups in-house from 6061 aluminum, sourcing remaining hardware from suppliers like Grover, Gotoh, and Switchcraft.

EGC's catalog centers on limited-run and custom-designed instruments, including its long-running Standard model series (Series 1, 2, 3, and beyond), hybrid wood-and-aluminum builds, and aluminum bolt-on replacement necks. The company also produces officially licensed reissues of Travis Bean guitars and basses under the Travis Bean Designs imprint.

The brand has a reputation in heavier and more experimental rock circles, drawing the kind of clientele that gravitates toward the ringing sustain and unusual feel of metal-necked instruments. Players associated with EGC instruments include Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard, Tomahawk), Tom Petersson (Cheap Trick), and Ken Andrews (Failure).

Electric Guitar Company has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars and Guitar Necks. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock and Metal. Notable users include Buzz Osborne (aka King Buzzo), Tim Lash, and Taylor Young.
