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.

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.

a mate of mine had one of these - lovely sounding thing - as shizznit says good value secondhand.

I've played his other one - very nice - quite tempted myself [size=4] [/size]

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.
