evin Burkett and his Electrical Guitar Company are in the business of turning
dream guitars into bespoke, beautiful realities. Duane Denison turned me on
to EGC when I interviewed him a few years back and I immediately knew I had

mounted directly to the neck for immediate attack and the aural brilliance of the tone is
hard to turn back from. EGC plays the lead role in sustain and sustainability…
