Audio Samples
We'll be adding new sound samples pretty often for the next few weeks as we process recordings and organize files. We can't hope to capture the full experience of playing one of our instruments, but we can give a good representation of some of our acoustics and provide some comparisons between the various choices available with some of our electric guitars and steels.

The EG-1 features a choice of custom wound "vintage" P-90's or standard Jazzbar/Bluesbar P-90's from Rio Grande Pickups in Houston, Texas. The difference between the two sets comes through pretty well in the sample recordings, and you should be able to get an idea of the tone structure of each. Of course, your mileage may vary according to amp choice and settings. These samples were recorded with a custom Princeton-style tube amp from Bill Ussery of Austin Tone Lab in Austin, Texas.
The EG-2 featured here is equipped with Rio Grande's "Texas Barbeque" humbucker set. These are standard covered humbuckers--"Genuine Texas" in the neck and "Texas Barbeque" in the bridge. The coil-tap feature on the rhythm pickup allows for some very sweet "in-between" tones.
This EG-1HB has a body of very light African mahogany which, paired with a hard maple/Honduran rosewood neck, provides some serious snap and snarl. The pickup set featured here is Rio Grande's "Buffalo Texas" set with a "Genuine Texas" in the bridge and a PAF-style "Buffalo Texas" in the neck.
Coming very soon is an EG1-HB with a body identical to the one featured above, but equipped with an uncovered "Texas Barbeque" set. I expect a slightly darker, more "ballsy" tone that should sound fantastic with the high-midrange bite of the mahogany body.
