Indeed, but quite pricey as they have inflated with their commission, my budgets around £2500-3000 which is what they seem to go for on here when they pop up! Shame the sellers not on here, as they seem to have a few collectors that resell on sound affects!

Fwiw, I don’t think they’re unreasonably priced at saf and they’re likely to have 10% drop built in, maybe more if you contact them.

As Chris says. Both on commission but likely room for negotiation.

Yeah they're not crazy priced. but for those prices I'd want almost exactly what I'm looking for with aged nitro and a p90 neck. I'm in no rush and just had an Oz T I'm still in honeymoon period with so happy to be patient. 

I know if I rush, the day after the one I actually want will appear on here for less!

Yes, he's a lovely bloke and very passionate about what he does!

I have a Macon in aged nitro with two staple p90’s.  It’s in mint condition and a stunning guitar, hence I’m not really looking to sell it.  How do you post photos on here?

Not very easily is the answer, is it a carved top or a Macon special?

I had other Patrick James Eggles I can trade too

mavthelab

It’s carved.  What other eggles do you have? Can you DM me somehow so I can send pictures and history etc?  I don’t use fretboard much so don’t really know how it works.  Thanks
