Electrical Guitar Company (EGC) is a builder of aluminum-neck and all-aluminum electric guitars and basses, founded in 2004 by machinist and luthier Kevin Burkett. The shop originated in Pensacola, Florida and later relocated to Irondale, Alabama, where it continues to produce limited-run and custom instruments largely by hand. EGC's necks are machined from Alcoa 6061 aluminum, and the company manufactures its own bodies and pickups in-house while sourcing hardware from makers such as Grover, Gotoh, and Switchcraft.
The brand traces a design lineage back to the aluminum-necked instruments of Travis Bean, and EGC also produces reissues under the Travis Bean Designs imprint. Its catalog spans all-aluminum guitars, hybrid aluminum/wood models, and aluminum bolt-on necks, along with numbered series instruments (Standard, Series 1, Series 2, etc.) and artist signature models.
EGC has developed a following among players drawn to the stiffness, sustain, and thermal stability of aluminum construction, and the instruments are most closely associated with Buzz Osborne of the Melvins, who has used EGC guitars extensively and has a signature King Buzzo model.
Electrical Guitar Company has 8 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars and Extended Range Guitars. Their gear is featured by 8 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Ken Andrews, Aaron Turner, and Mark Bowen.
