Model Overview

Focusing solely on Patrick James Eggle’s historic acoustic body shapes, our new PJE Legacy Series guitars set a new bar for professional excellence. 

Our FG2 Legacy Series models pair the wonderfully mature aesthetic and tonal character of kiln-aged Sitka Spruce tops with truly stunning highly-figured, book-matched 2-piece Rosewood back and sides. This combination delivers on all fronts, offering exceptional visual beauty and producing a rich, seasoned tone with a bright, articulate charm and bags of clarity.

The Sitka Spruce tops of these guitars have been kiln-aged through a process of torrefaction or torrefication. The Spruce is air dried before being roasted in a kiln with precise controls over atmospheric and oxygen levels to reduce its moisture content. Then as the wood cools, precise amounts of moisture are re-introduced to the wood. The resulting timber is more stable – always good when used as a topwood - and aurally, it produces a rich, mellow tone with a mature voicing which would take perhaps 20 years of waiting to achieve under normal circumstances. Treating Spruce this way has its benefits on the way it looks too with it taking on a golden-caramel colouring that sees this series radiate an authentic, grown-up vibe. 

They also feature solid high-figure, Flamed Maple bindings, Figured Ebony fingerboards and bridges, and bone nuts, saddles and bridge pins. Also for the first time in our history – each guitar has a solid Figured Ebony pickguard.

This Faith Neptune model is based upon Patrick James Eggle's highly acclaimed 'Saluda' shape.

A Baby-Jumbo size with a 16" lower bout, the Neptune is the perfect model for those seeking acoustic power without the physical bulk of a full-sized Jumbo. 

 

Fishman Pre-Amp / Pickup

These Faith Legacy models are fitted with Fishman's latest FLEX-BLEND preamp system. Featuring an undersaddle piezo pickup and condensor microphone, greater sound balance is achieved, plus percussive techniques can be fully explored. The preamp features 3 ultra-discreet knobs, a built in tuner, EQ contour control, blend control (Piezo/Mic), and phase control (push to activate). The battery is stored in a special bag located inside the guitar fixed to the neck block, and the jack output is combined with the strap button at the base.

"I first saw this guitar at The Guitar Show in Birmingham and instantly fell in love with it. Unfortunately, someone else bought it, but they have now sold it to me and I couldn't be happier with it, a unique one off guitar."

"WOW. what a beautiful instrument this is. The finish is absolutely stunning. I was looking for a guitar that really met the highest qualities I was looking for. The sound it gives in the high and low notes up and down the fret board are without doubt to my ear the best I have heard in comparing to other guitars."

"The tone from this guitar is well balanced and sounds good unplugged, when used with an acoustic amp, the ability to blend the under saddle pickup and the condenser mic gives you a wide range of tones. I am vey pleased with this guitar and look forward to playing over the next few months. I did have an issue with getting the strap on the rear strap button/output jack as it seemed too large and not enough slot for the strap to sit in, however I have removed the end cap and fitted an adapter so I can use strap locks instead. Even though the strap issue was a bit of a pain my overall opinion is that this is a good guitar for the price."

"It is beautiful and has a lovely mellow tone. It is so easily playable and seems effortless. The scope that the Fishman electronics gives is very impressive and works well. The finish and overall quality of the guitar is superb. "
