2007 Wingert EVC Dream Series, Brazilian Rosewood/Italian Spruce

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.
