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. 

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. 

Paired with a range of African Khaya Mahogany and highy-figured, 2-piece Rosewood back and sides, these guitars have real power and depth of tone. 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 Faith Guitars' history – each guitar has a solid Figured Ebony pickguard.

Based on Patrick James Eggle’s ‘Linville’ model, the Earth is a true Orchestra Model (OM) shape and is the newest addition to the Faith family. In true OM fashion, its 15” lower bout is flattened at the base, and at 4.45” deep, its shallow body makes for a comfortable mid-sized guitar. 

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 black, and the jack output is combined with the strap button at the base.

This is a beautiful guitar. A good solid all rounder. Beautiful built and finished with a tone to die for.
Tony, United Kingdom
Beautiful looking well made clean sounding guitar
Graham, United Kingdom
Excellent tone, action and build. Plays comfortably and well both using figurestyle and plectrum. Great partner for my Patrick Eggle Linville 2005 but at a price at which I am not paranoid about using it outside the home.<br /> Impressed by the electrics and case. I am very please with my purchase.
Barry John, United Kingdom
Excellent! Well balanced and well made.
Chye Yew, United Kingdom

Damon, United Kingdom
IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND HAS A SWEET SOUND!GREAT VOLUME AND SUSTAIN TOO.THE ACTION IS PERFECT FOR ME. PLAYED ONLY SINCE YESTERDAY, BUT I ALREADY LIKE IT VERY MUCH!
STEFANIA, Italy
I quite like it, apart from the fact that the battery back is just floating around inside the body of the guitar. There is a velcro sticky pad that has no sticky. Where is it meant to be located? How do you change the battery? How do you turn it off?<br /> Also the strings seem a little heavy.

Great so far. Love the tuner.<br /> <br /> BTW the captcha and NPScore fields on this page are really tedious. Nobody in the UK gives 10. Pointless.
