Err heres the one I bought, I will do some proper pics at the weekend as these the store sent me.

(along with 57 pics of their other eggles)

I'm considering the idea of installing a set of mules (or rebel yells), but as I bought an amp today that will have to wait now (well for a couple of weeks anyway)


wow, what amp did you get, rob?

After torturing myself for a couple of weeks I bought myself a ZVex Nanohead (in sparkly Purple).

Thanx for the comments gents

I will start a proper thread about the guitar soon (with a better photo) as I need info on switching options & stuff (it's not quite perfect) and I needed to get away from using a Korg Pandora over here.

steve, I hope you enjoy it

Oh yeah, one thing to bring it back onto the original thread (pardon my hijacking)

Wilkinson trems (used on the eggles too) seem to suffer a little from flutter when you play hard (but an extra spring should sort that) as I found the trems a little light to the touch (if thats the right term)

So watch out for that, though their locking trem is excellent, as it locks to hardtail when not in use (eggle used those up to about 96)

Rob...
Goodbye London !

^ heh, I like responsive trems with flutter.

nice score on the amp too, I haven't been able to try one of those before.

:drink:

EDIT: and you already know I think you got a great guitar, rob. ;)
