After reading your post I checked my EG416s and it too has scalloped bracing. I only used the mirror to check the ball ends when changing strings and never really looked at the rest. Its pretty much the same except plain spruce top, maple binding and p/u installed. My action was a bit too low and had some buzz so I gave the neck some relief and added a thin ebony shim under the saddle. The neck is just about perfect and with John Pearse lights sounds good. I think it really sounds great in drop D or DADGAD tuning. For a small guitar it really sings nice.
