| Only guitar you need - really! |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Better than many American-made guitars - the EG1 is built in Canada |
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| My friend Dan's Traveler Speedster has flown over a half million miles in the last 3 years and looks and plays like new - I bought my EG1 a month ago for a California trip |
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| Guitarist's dream - perfect for travel
- equally perfect for your main axe - it turns heads everywhere and sounds like a bright, sunny day! |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| Light (5 lbs), perfect balance on the strap buttons, fast jumbo frets, no buzz *anywhere* - other players who tried my EG1 last week in California all loved the action |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| One excellent bridge-mounted humbucker with totally silent, *smooth*, passive tone & volume controls - my luthier's best tube amp sounded terrific with this little gem |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| Premium - very sharp gold metal-flake - the 4-bolt neck pocket is perfectly cut out (no shims) |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Fine - best bridge I've ever seen - the D string was 2 cents sharp at the octave (very easily fixed) - the EG1 neck is narrow and the jumbo frets are very forgiving - but the EG1 neck is slightly thicker than many electrics - EG1 is shortscale (24 3/4") and my other guitars are all longscale - it took me a few days to adjust (playing fingerstyle jazz) |
