Patrick James Eggle 96 Vintage - Surf Green

Patrick works with a small team of craftsmen, producing a limited number of high end electric guitars from his bespoke workshop in Oswestry. Our aim is to produce guitars that are not only visually striking, but also demonstrate superior play-ability and tone. Every single guitar produced, is blended together with expert precision and execution, ultimately culminating in the very finest of instrument. Ensuring only the best materials are used, Patrick spends much of his time travelling and researching remote locations to buy beautiful and unique tonewoods, increasing his supplier list and learning the stories that accompany the wood that he works with and loves. Our commitment to producing guitars of the highest standard and continuing to innovate and push the boundaries of this highly competitive field is greater than ever.

THE 96 SERIES
The 96 is our 'S' style model. Available in an alder or swamp ash body with a super comfy belly cut and excellent access to the upper frets no matter what size hands you have. They come with a choice of MODELS, 96 vintage, contour top and carve top. all three feature either a classic style or floating trem as well as rear locking or slot head tuners. We use top-quality hardware so you can be sure that everything on your guitar is made with precision and care.

96
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 it's ergonomic neck heel, catering to hands of all sizes.
A roasted maple neck brings stability and warmth, paired with either a 12” OR 10”-16” 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 specialy selected swamp ash and 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.
The 96 features a vintage-style or floating tremolo, slot head or rear locking tuners as well as a choice of colours and finishes.

“It's rare to pore over a guitar looking for something to criticise - and fail miserably. The 96 hangs together brilliantly, from its scaled-down body that fits the player so well, to the delightful oiled neck and flawless fret job, a set of sounds that are real and organic, and hardware that gets the job done without affecting tone or playability.” - ★★★★★ Guitarist Magazine - GUITARIST GOLD AWARD
