Professional quality guitar from the early years of this millennium. A fine crafted instrument handmade in England by the guys at the Eggle workshop.Made from flamed sycamore and maple.Overwound p90 pickups.Standard 3 position switch with volume and tone.Sperzel tuners.Body finished in oil, neck in satin.The latest range from Eggle includes some models that indicate a determined intention to depart from established Eggle tradition and instead explore fresh avenues of design. The Wave Deluxe falls firmly in this category, employing original styling already seen on earlier examples in this series.Design and constructionLooks owe little to Eggle's past or indeed any other maker, while construction incorporates concepts claimed to be innovative and beneficial to performance. The Wave name is well chosen, as the body horns and cutaways suggest an appropriately aquatic appearance. There are hints of Rickenbacker and early BC Rich, but this Eggle succeeds in being both original and appealing.While body styling may be all-new, the Wave sticks with the standard, neat and tidy Eggle headstock, which actually matches well. It carries a set of locking Sperzel tuners, arrayed to ensure all-important straight string travel, along with shallow but sufficient break angle off the nut.Like the body, the glued-in neck is English sycamore (which has similar characteristics to maple). It comes with a two-way adjustable truss-rod and a comfort-inducing shallow-ish C-profile, while width is mainstream finger friendly. The smooth rosewood fingerboard also contributes to a high stay and play quota, as does a 22-strong set of impressively finished, medium gauge frets. The 20th marks the neck's meeting point with the body and the appropriate join is accBody depth is a super-slim 28mm at the edge, but is thicker further in, as the face employs a gently indented 'German Carve' around the edge. A complimentary-shaped, single soundhole on the bass side indicates air inside and the semi-solid construction apparently employs computer-calculated cavities and ports, all aimed to enhance inherent response. There's no front or rear contouring, but the slim depth and well-balanced proportions help keep things comfortable, as does a lighter-than-usual weight.omplished via a sturdy heel, with airy cutaways ensuring easy upper-end excursions.U.K. Mainland only. Highlands and Islands will be more to ship.Cash or PayPal.Thanks
