UPDATED 15/07/2022 with another NGD (but included in this thread to keep it all together)
- jump to page 3 and scroll down to get there!So folks, the bulk of this first post and the following 26 replies is how this thread started out in the classifieds, but to keep the story together, I'm updating it to an NGD and moving it to the Guitars sections - so, for the NGD bit, scroll down past the first 26 replies and look for something green....
The easy bit first... I'm looking for a Patrick James Eggle Macon! I missed out last year on a Macon Special that Andertons had at £2000 and a Macon doublecut that Richtone had at £1800, either of which I'd have been very happy with and this is the kind of price range I'm aiming for.
So, anything out there?
Cash is a possibility, or,
here's the dilemma: I have a Patrick James Eggle Ninety Six strat and a Patrick James Eggle Oz tele - one of which I may be prepared to offer in a trade - but don't ask me to chose which as they're both superb. Here's a little bit about them:
PJE Ninety Six - this one dates to 2018 and was made and used for PJE's display at NAMM. It's an ash bodied (in a black open pore finish), modern spec roasted maple necked, ebony boarded model, with Mojo HH pickups, reverse headstock - quite distinctive and a real rocker.

PJE OZ T - this is from 2018 and is an ash / quilted maple drop top, with vintage spec maple neck, again with Mojo HH pickups.

I'll try and stick up a couple of pictures later.
Please note, the above guitars are not for sale in their own right, only if required to help source a Macon.

And I didn't know Patrick sounds like Nigel Tufnel when he speaks. "These titanium saddles go to 11".
and that is an amazing collection @JohnnyBGid82
You gents are just rubbing it in now ;-)
I think I may have found my Macon (a Junior) - just need to sort out the money ;-)
EDIT - I HAVE found my Macon :-) (with thanks to PJE himself).
My band, Red For Dissent
In the meantime it's been nice to see other people's PJEs, and have found some potential buyers in the event that I need to sell one of mine.
So job done
Plan a. is the sale of my MM Luke, so I hope to keep the 96 and the Oz to form the perfect trio with the Macon...
