This is a Patrick Eggle Singlecut (similarly shaped to the Patrick Eggle Austin model) made in England in 2006. It is believed that this was made as a one-off, for a guitar show.
The chambered (hollowed) body is coloured in a Cherry Sunburst, the main body is mahogany, with a quilted maple top. The body is chamfered from the maple top, to the mahogany sides, giving the guitar a stylish look.
The mahogany neck has 22-Frets and is C-Profiled. The ebony fretboard has a nice, double leaf marker, on the 12th fret.Pickups are P90 Singlecoils but I'm unsure who made them. I'm also unsure of who made the 2-piece, stoptail bridge. I do know that the Machine Heads are USA Sperzel Locking Tuners. The amber control knobs are Master Volume and Master Tone, with a 3-way, pickup Selector Switch.
It came with a generic, good quality, hard case.
This is my 3rd Eggle electric (had a Berlin Pro, some 20 years ago and an LA Custom, up until quite recently) and like the others, this baby is built very solidly and finished to an excellent standard. It is smooth and very comfortable to play. It's not super light but, with a chambered body, it's lighter than you might think, for it's size and woods.
The P90s are as you'd expect, if you're familiar with them. A nice fat, single coil tone, that sounds clear and punchy. Of my 4 electrics, this sounds the best, with a little, valve overdrive. Rocky and musical, to the ears.When I saw pictures of this guitar, I wasn't sure if I'd like it. But when I saw it for real, I liked it's looks, straight away. Fortunately it's playability, tone and quality, also appealed, very quickly.
