My latest guitar arrived this morning, a Patrick Eggle Berlin Plus. It's a hardtail and has a one piece amber flame maple top.

I havent had a chance to take any of my own pics yet but the pics that prompted me to buy it can be seen over at the Eggle forum,

You nosey buggers!

Looks great :) They have quite a small body don't they?

It cost £599.

I was happy at the price. I've just been playing it for a couple of hours. It's a wonderful little beasty :D

Yeah the body is small but it seems to have no effect on the tone. It's slightly lighter toned than my Les Paul but that's what I was after all along.

Once I get the strings off it and see what Pickups are actually in it, I'll decide if it needs BKP's or not. My plan was to put Rebel Yells into it but it sounds wonderful with the stock pup's :oops:

Happy with it then? :D

I was suprised about how small the body is, but like Kylie, small and perfectly formed.

It was an ebay special. I had been watching a few and this went up as a £599 buy it now on Sunday night. I figured that If I had left it, then it would be gone in the morning.

As for the top, it seems to have a flame and a grain combined. I haven't seen anything like it before.

Hmmm ... Maple Flame-Grain?

Sounds like a breakfast cereal :D

I'm just about to put elixirs on it and see what the pup's actually are. I'm pretty sure they're SD's and from the tone they may be a Custom Custom bridge and SH1 '59 or Alinco II PRO neck.

And yeah TM, I am liking it. It's a little cracker :)

It's a lovely looking guitar, and I'm glad you like it.

They really are excellent guitars
