This guitar feels, more than most, like a finely-honed tool. If music-making were woodworking, this Wingert EVC Dream Series would fall somewhere between a Narex paring chisel for precision and a Lie-Nelson No. 164 plane for smoothness and ease of use. There’s just so much clarity between the strings and individual notes. A 12-fret neck and 25 inch scale keep string tension and top activation at a sweet spot that’s easy to play and boosts the bass and lower mid response. Excellent setup for fingerstyle, and lowered tunings are a delight.
Brazilian Rosewood back and sides (a striking set that’s straight-grained with sumptuous red-brick striping) and an Italian Spruce top make up the EVC’s body, and Kathy added an arm bevel and soundport for player comfort. The neck carve is somewhere between a C and a D; say it’s a flattened C and you’ll get the picture. Think of feathers: this neck carve is overall thin, baby-smooth to the touch, and lends a helping hand for fast fretwork by not slowing you down in the slightest. Kathy added a red band to the center of the rosette that offsets the green and blue shimmer from the Abalone, and ties in well with red trim around the top. Red is a tricky color to use here, but Kathy has assembled her color palette well; it’s striking rather than distracting. When every element comes together as organically, not to mention resonantly, as this 2007 Wingert EVC, you’ve found a rare bird indeed.

Kathy again blows me away with her voicing abilities and slinky setup. The Brazilian back is some of the most beautiful I've seen in years. This one's in amazing condition to have been built a decade ago! The Italian Spruce top has opened up handsomely in the meantime. 
This guitar looks like new and is nicely balanced tonally. The striped Brazilian on the back and sides is unusual and looks great. | Scale Length | 25 in |
