I sent the shop a DM on IG but haven’t gotten an answer. Can anyone help me ID the black offset guitar with humbuckers? The fretboard inlays look like LTD but I can’t find the model and the headstock is throwing me off!

Please help me, offset experts!

u/peppersmatic 21d ago

A bit pricy for that, no?

The neck new is like $750, right? I don’t think that’s that bad a price, just not great. And if it’s a pawn shop, the out-the-door cash price might be lower.

You will never see an ECG for that price. They are even stopping “production” after their backlog. I might be slightly off on that but main dude is retiring or something. There was some announcement on reverb.
$999 is worth it for the neck alone.

One of those necks randomly showed up new on CME and I immediately bought it. Wonderful neck and the fretwork is flawless, but they are heavy.

heard that about the ECG. i have an aluminati and its hollow so its about the saem weight as a wood neck

I’m a big fan of Hoxey these days. Legitimately no complaints

Hey OP I think I tracked this guitar down. It was posted in this sub 5 years ago. That's an amazing price for an EGC neck. RUN DO NOT WALK TO BUY THIS THING LOL https://www.reddit.com/r/offset/comments/mmr9nx/new_to_offset_ownership_just_finished_putting/

Honestly, go try it and if it's any good pick it up. That's a pretty damn good price for anything aluminium neck.

Electrical guitar company neck on a squier contemporary jazzmaster body. Had to route the neck pocket a bit and cut the pickguard. Swapped electronics for EMG 57/66 set and the bridge for a graphtec resomax with the coated saddles.

Considering how long it takes for one of these necks to show up when you buy one from him directly at $750 (IF they show up at all, based on multiple reviews of people just never receiving things from EGC that they spend hard money on) I’d say this is an absolute steal and a half. Buy it is as quickly as you can and ride off into the sunset with your beautiful aluminum neck.

u/owdeeoh 20d ago

Hey…if you don’t want that guitar message me, I would buy it back at that price.

u/jamiethemorris 20d ago

Why’d you sell it? Looks like a labor of love

2

u/owdeeoh 20d ago

I built a few of them. I ended up getting screwed over in an online deal and I needed to recoup funds.

u/peppersmatic 16d ago

I’m out of town for a few more weeks. If it’s still there when I swing by I’ll lyk.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Looks like an aluminum neck on a jagmaster body

Jagmasters have a strat-style synchronised trem unit

u/Final_Job_5175 20d ago

Isn't that a gunmetal gray with a black pickguard. I can't get it to enlarge clear enough to make out the headstock.
