I watched this - from the ‘factory that shall not be mentioned’ Mark thinks that it could be one of his necks……

Thanks for posting JB.

I've got one of those Eggles, though mine's a lot later and slightly less official.  Great guitars, very well put together, nice shape and very comfortable to hold and play.

Just finished watching it.

1. A useful ad for his C branded tools & supplies
2. How many tools-on-the-wall does one person really need
3. Where does he find the time for all his SM activity

😀

I’ve watched a couple of his livestream events in the past (“watch me build a guitar in 8hrs” that took about 5wks) and he gets huge audiences in, so there must be a valid revenue-generating business model underpinning it all.  Maybe the shop is hugely busy??

yeah they are great guitars, in my opinion better than PRS!

That's a really tough call.

What would Eggle be today, with today's manufacturing tools & techniques? 

How would the brand have evolved in terms of designs and quality?  

We'd be trying to compare something from the 1990s with something from 30 years later.  And "PRS" is really 3 distinct offerings - SE, S2 & the core US models.  

I have an original-era Eggle, and I have a few PRS guitars (spanning those ranges).  I'd sell the PRS before the Eggle, but mainly because I know the Eggle would be harder to replace when I (inevitably) realised that I shouldn't have sold it.  

It's hard to say one is "better" than the other - they have different qualities.

I do value having something different, something small-scale UK built, rather than another production-line product, no matter how immaculate that production line product is.
