The guitar is a Patrick Eggle JS Legend.
The young man says it's a Berlin pro but I haven't seen a Berlin pro with the maple leaves or whatever they are on the fret board.
Just dots.
It was made in the 90s in the UK and they go for around $ 2,000 used.
They're basically a copy of an American made PRS that's hand made in Maryland.
At first that's what I thought it was.
I looked on the Patrick Eggle website and they don't make it anymore.
Probably because it looks so much like the PRS.
Regardless they are both great guitars.
Olly has a whole room full of guitars.

No way of doing that and I wouldn't want to embarrass myself.
There was a particular easy tune I was playing and couldn't figure out why I couldn't play it s few days later.
Then I realized I was playing it originally on the bass and was trying to do it on the guitar.
It's really simple but it's the bass line on Carful with that axe Eugene from Pink Floyd.
Here is a short live example of one of my all time Pink Floyd songs.

Been looking over the guitar and comparing it to some of the name brands we're all familiar with.
One guy was looking at a brand new Asian Fender and the nut was cut wrong and caused buzzing.
The nut is what the strings go over at the top of the guitar where the tuners are.
The strings need to make contact at the side next to the fret board not at the side next to the tuners.
They can be cut too deep and too wide for the string.
I checked mine and they are about as perfect as can be.
I've also made truss to adjustments and string height adjustments as well as pickup height adjustments.
What I haven't done is intonation.
