There's something awfully familiar about this body shape.....

Wow, it does look familiar, but I can't put my finger on it(381). Look at how close that pot is to the bridge p/u, seems like that could get in the way for some players.

From what I can see the shape is more like a 330. But the similarity ends there. With a mahogany body, P90s and tuneomatic it probably has a noticeable Gibson feel.

Yes it does resemble a 330, but it has a carved front like the 381. While the 330,331,335,336,340 and 381 all have the same silhouette, the 381 was the only one with the carved front. But like you and David say, it's only the body shape that bears resemblance.

Wow, that sure is cool-looking! Maybe it's just that blue color on the figured wood of the body that made me do a double-take.... But I'll keep my 381!

This guitar also seems to have some "Rick-inspiration" to it.

Yes - the soundhole is a bit obvious, isn't it?

Their main model, the Berlin, screams PRS to me, although it's a little dumpier in the waist (rather like me, as I get older). Eggle, as far as I know, has a fine reputation - pity their styling isn't a little more original.

While I am sure the quality is fine, the guitars look like the lovechildren between old Kay & EKO guitars.
