2V and 3V (V=vinyl covered body) had the body shape of a Fender Jaguar or Fender Jazzmaster. They had 2 or 3 pickups, as the number states. The cheapest models had a price tag that was one tenth the cost for a comparable model of a Gibson or a Fender.īut Egmond also made high quality instruments, the Egmond 2 and 3, 2V and 3V. Cheap instruments were made in large numbers that everyone could. In the early 50’s there were 20 employees making 50 guitars a week and by the early 60’s there were 80 employees cranking out 2000 guitars a week.Įgmond was the largest luthier in Europe and they were more known for quantity than quality. The import of instruments ended and they decided to make the instruments on their own. In the shop he sold instruments imported from the Eastern Europe. Uilke Egmond (1878-1959) founded a music school and a music shop in Valkenswaard, that was named Musica. The finish shows that lacquer checking that you'd expect from a guitar from this era. The headstock is extremely clean and retains the correct “Egmond” logo, together with the truss rod cover and the 6-inline tuners with the original buttons. The frets have a lot of life left in them. The action is nice and low and the fingerboard is in an overall great condition. It is very similar to the Vox guitars from the same era. It is now set to be with 2 pickups, just like its other model the EG-2 :) It has only one defect, the third pickup has some coil issues and needs to be re-coiled. An amazing guitar in very good condition which is really worth your attention!
