Sorry for the thread drift but didn’t Patrick Eggle starting a back Street in Birmingham? Nice but a bit pricey and used $10 Chinese made pickups!
Yes, I think he started in Birmingham, went to the US and spent a few years there making acoustics, and then came back to the UK and set up in Oswestry some time ago.
I've not played one of his electrics, but his acoustics are exquisite. I love my Saluda to bits.
