In light of all the recent interest in the "Sweet Little EG-3 (Incoming)" thread, I've been encouraged to start a new thread for these great guitars and post photos of my own EG. Here goes.
Back-story: Bought back in 1999 at a local guitar show, and believe it or not, on my way out out of the house, my wife grinned and asked me "OK... what are you
looking for?" (My wife is
way too supportive of me and guitars!) My answer was: "Really nothing... just looking..." (I meant it, but still, lol.) "But if you DID see something, what would it be?" Well, I thought for a second and said that I'd just
love another chance to find one of those nice EG-3s I'd sampled back in '93. (By 1999, they were pretty rare to see around here, IME.) And so, off I went.
Well, I walked in the door at the show (it was a huge room) and there was the following guitar, mint, parked not 50 ft from the entrance! Played it for a good while, and it both played and sounded fantastic. (Like, wow!) Now, cue the
Outer Limits theme twice when I tell you there was also a
second identical white one parked only 100 ft more down the line! Of course, at that point, I played them both, and one was
clearly a winner (the other, er, not so much). So what else could I do? I came home that day with this little beauty...
Beautiful !!
These photos are pretty close to color, and the pearloid pickguard was already a warmer tone than the body back in 1999. It hasn't noticeably changed since that point, either.
There's also an odd discrepancy in the serial number with mine, too; the first digit seems to indicate a 1993 build, but the last four digits indicate more towards the end of 1994. Huh.
