Tech: Guitar - The egyptian

Guys,

Am i remembering wrong. About five years ago there was a guitar on the market called the egyptian.

If I am not barking mad - who made it and is it still in production.

From what I remember it kind of looked like a maccaferri copy with a larger sound hole.

Have I remembered right?

Peter

The Egyptian was made by Fylde, and was originally a kind of floating bridge version of the caliban, which was itself a variation on the oberon. It has changed quite a lot over time but they do still make one. check it out at the fylde site.
