WTB: Patrick James Eggle Macon carved top
What's Hot
Looking for a Macon full fat Single cut, to go with my ‘96 and OZ T!
I’ve seen a few lovely Macon's recently on here but keep missing out!
I’m in Midlands but travel alot for work.
Ideal:
Carved flamed or quilted top
Roasted flamed neck
Rosewood or ebony board
Ideally P90 & hum bucker but not too precious on that
Aged nitro would be a bonus

She’s stunning, we’ve chatted a few times before on the Patrick Eggle forum! Really doubt you’d struggle to sell her on with that top!
But i’m mainly looking for single coils, I’ve got a crimson guitars offset tele with hum-buckers so that styles covered.
Really aiming to get my guitars down to 4-5 British made that cover all/most bases
Strat (PJE 96) HSS
Tele PJE SS
Macon P90/H
Crimson offset HH
I like your thinking about the streamlined collection, I'm the same with my Ninety-Six, Oz and Macon. Just the geometry of the Oz that makes me consider a slight change.
Yeah I buy and sell alot but want to get down to just a couple of great guitars.
I’ve had a load of teles over last few years but one thing i’ve come to realise is I only love the ones with old fashioned brass bridges and single coils for that spanky twang.
Theres a great butterscotch on reverb but i’m balking at their £2600 2nd hand price atm as know they will of picked it up for 1600-1800

If you don't mind me asking, what trade price did they give you? I’ve offered them £2200 as for their £2600 asking price I might aswell just pay the £2800 direct to PJE for new. I bought my 96 off them (sound affects) for £1900 last year when they advertised it at £2400 so hoping they still do deals!

Are they only £2800 direct? I thought they started at about £3k but I've not checked the latest pricing.
Yeah £2800 currently with alot of free choices, however i’d probably splurge on a mastergrade neck if I was going to take the jump and one piece swamp ash
I'm pretty sure I got about +2K trade in value.
Note they did sell it after I traded it in so this is the 2nd time someone has traded it in to them.
It is a really great guitar, very resonant, light and has that blackguard tele tone in spades.
There is a demo of it from World Guitars which is where I brought it new for 2.9K

As Matt has said SE are usually open to offers so i'd talk to them if your interested. I brought a full fat new Macon SC from them last year which they had listed at about 4.3K on their website and 4.5K on ebay and I paid 3.75K in the end.
I ordered with Patrick November 20 and it’s just gone into build. Well worth the wait though, they’re sensational
I am tempted to convince my wife to get me a Macon for my 40th so she has 4 years to get it built and paid for

I need to sell one to raise some cash.
Wehey, rang the shop direct and they did her for £2200
Just looking for a Macon now (and shifting some gear to afford her!)
