Electric guitar

Forster electric EG3 - Built for tone, comfort, and real-life use

Handmade. Solid. Full of character.

WHAT IT IS

The EG3 is the flagship NK Forster electric. A fully handcrafted solid-body mahogany guitar with clean lines, expressive tone, and serious attention to detail. Inspired by the visual elegance and tonal balance of my Charlie archtop, this model delivers that same personality in a light, slim, solid-body form.


WHY YOU NEED IT

If you’re tired of generic electrics that all sound the same, the EG3 offers something different.
It’s not built to copy the classics; it’s built to be its own thing.
A lightweight body, fast neck, and articulate voice make it as comfortable in a studio as it is on stage.


WHAT YOU GET

• Solid-body and glued-in neck made from ultra-responsive Fiji mahogany.
• Ebony fretboard with a smooth, clean feel.
• Ebony headstock veneers front and back.
• Australian-made Johnny Smith pickups for rich, detailed tone.

Premium components throughout:
• Custom, non-rocking aluminium Bigsby-style bridge with compensated saddles.
• Chrome Gotoh 510 tuners.
• EVO Gold frets.
• Ebony control knobs with Alpha pots.
• Custom tailpiece and pickup rings.
• Supplied in a quality hard case.

Want different pickups? Just ask. I’ll make it happen.


WHY IT’S WORTH IT

Every instrument is built by me – no production runs, no shortcuts. Each design has been refined through years of feedback from professional players who rely on their instruments night after night.

You’re not just buying materials and labour; you’re buying the sound, playability, and longevity that come from over three decades of experience.

If you’re unsure which model fits your playing, I’ll help you figure it out. And if you want proof these instruments hold up over time, scroll down and read what players have said.
