Patrick James Eggle 2022 96 Vintage - Daphne Blue (Pre-owned)

This Patrick James Eggle 96 Vintage is very special, and we're pleased to offer up another classy example of British style, attention to detail, and build quality in our shop.  This guitar, built in 2022, has a "decked" tremolo (locked down to the body).  The heat-aged vintage nitro creates a handsome "checking" effect on the body and headstock, perfectly complementing the elegant birdseye maple fretboard (see detail photos). 

This model is in excellent condition and is sold with an equally classy, C&G branded hard case.

Specifications of second-hand items, which are sold without UK tax under the HMRC Margin Scheme, are established to the best of our knowledge.

Patrick James Eggle says:

"Hand built in our UK workshop, the 96 is a meticulous evolution of the timeless double-cut form - lighter, sleeker, and more expressive than ever before. Every curve is sculpted for comfort, every joint engineered for resonance, and every detail finished by hand to perfection.

"The outline is a refined, slightly smaller version of a S-Type shape, with thinner, sharper horns and sculpted contours for comfort. 

"It features a comfortably contoured belly cut and offers excellent access to the upper frets with its ergonomic neck heel, catering to hands of all sizes."

A roasted maple neck "brings stability and warmth, paired with...[a 12”] compound-radius fretboard that offers a seamless transition from rhythm to lead. Fretwork is executed to microscopic precision, ensuring a smooth, buzz-free glide across every note.

"The specially selected [alder] used means the end product is remarkably light for a guitar of its class, yet resonant and lively even unplugged.

"Premium Gotoh hardware ensures tuning stability and smooth vibrato response, while subtle touches like rolled edges, contoured heels, and hand-polished fret ends elevate both form and function."
