 Model E/A-3 in |
The Guitar Factory Electric/Acoustic(Comments from April 1991 Guitar Player Magazine) The Guitar Factory E/A puts a slick spin on the omnipresent Strat design, despite its Strat-like body and string scale. The E/a is a hybrid: It has an acoustic bridge and a semi-hollow body, yet in terms of construction, features, and looks, its definitely an electric axe. Comments: Guitar Factory has produced a striking, lightweight instrument that plays like a dream and offers a wide spectrum of useful tones. The transducer delivers lovely, rich percussive acoustic timbres...the E/A's distinctive voice is very welcome in this day and age of sound-alike electrics.---(Harvy Citron - Guitar Player Magazine) Body: The sound chamber is built from two hollow pieces of mahogany and topped in rosewood. (There are no sound holes of any kind.) I really like this unusual combination of woods: The mahogany is sweet and warm, the rosewood robust and bright. The E/A's top and back are flat, with no waist cut or top bevel; edges are slightly radiused (about 1/4"). controls are accessible via a recessed plastic plate on the back of the instrument. The instrument boast neck-through-body construction. The section of the neck that runs beneath the bridge is hollowed out to the butt-end of the instrument. |
