thisnameistaken Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 A friend of mine bought two Berlins on Ebay last year, really nice guitars, don't think he paid more than 600 for either of them so they're a bit of a bargain too. Your friend's guitar has maybe a bit of a marmite finish though so might not generate as much interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I had 3 Eggles in the late 90's. A Berlin Pro, LA Pro and LA Standard. I used those before I could afford a PRS and the build quality, tone and comfort was on par with the PRS guitars I bought. Looking back, I should have probably stuck with the Eggles as I felt I spent more money on the PRS's without much gain. Lovely guitars and the 2nd hand market for them these days is surprisingly good value for money. Patrick Eggle made a couple of bad business decisions during the peak of their success which soon led to a stop in production. It was nice to see the brand back in business a few years ago, but I still feel a bit gutted that they are only focussing on acoustic instruments now.

[/quote] Patrick Eggle himself is making acoustic guitars under the name of 'Patrick James Eggle' As far as I know, electric instruments are still being made by the firm 'Patrick Eggle Guitars'. Although, it's hard to tell as their website never seems to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
