If I ever order an EGC I'll tell Kevin I'm actually Kirk Hammett and I moved to Europe to study museology and start a noise rock band. Fuck your wait times, blud.

Dear EGC,

May I please have one of your aluminium guitars? Send it to my secret bunker in Ohio, where I hang out with Jimmy Page, Keith Richards and John Lennon, who is not dead.

Love and Kisses,

Eric Clapton (not fake)

Two bits of EGC related news for me:

1: Kevin out of nowhere emailed me back after a few months about a partial refund after sending me an incorrect neck. He apologised and sent the refund almost immediately after emailing. It was a nice surprise and has made me feel a lot better about that process.

2: I'm picking up a baritone Tyranny on Monday and I'm chuffed.

i wonder what changed the tune?

Not sure, maybe just persistence? Maybe all the public complaints recently got to him and he's making much more of an effort to communicate better? Maybe I pulled a lucky number in the RNG of life?

Awesome on both counts man ! Post pics when you get it ! Kevin emailed me back as well I had a couple of questions about the used tyranny I just picked up.

This is rad on both accounts. What length baritone? Let me know how you like the neck.

Well, the baritone is here. Next to it's shortscale brother, which may be sold now. It's 27.5" which is going to take a little while to get used to but holy shit does it sound good. After years of hearing such amazing things about his pickups I finally get it, those things cover a lot of ground and are really wonderful. Neck is thin all the way down and I'm really unfamiliar with it so I'll hold off judgment for a while, definitely more comfortable with something a little thicker though; as long as my hand doesn't cramp up it's whatever. Also it's pretty well balanced which I was surprised by, thought the extra few inches would cause a bit of neckdive but I guess not.

Very cool Olin. Almost wished I'd gone w P 90's.

the saga concludes

A wild saga it was, headache inducing, expensive and time consuming.
After a week of this thing I'm pretty happy with it all though and am really enjoying the scale length a lot more than I expected. Super thin neck is still a bit weird and some chords hurt my hand, but not in the way I expected (sharp pressure opposed to long term carpal tunnel type cramps) which is nice. Had a chance to run it through a stereo setup at decent volume and it was great, feedback starts really quickly but is much more controllable than on other instruments I've had and sounded absolutely crushing without too many effects.

Also opened it up just to have a look, do all of them smell that good inside?

I have a baritone Nude Guitars: the 013. The neck is a 27" scale. Wonderfu, never had a guitar with such a resonance, it's like a living being: you can FEEL every tone you play!!
