PJE Kanuga
I have been asked to do a thread on this guitar. It is one of the hand-made guitars by UK builder Patrick James Eggle. He is also the man behind the designs for the Faith brand guitars.
When I say hand-made that is how it is done. Any machine used is hand operated. The neck and headstock are two separate pieces and features his custom bolt-on neck. This guitar was his last acoustic before returning purely to electrics. Model: Kanuga 12 fret Soundhole: 4" Nut width: 1 3/4" String spacing: 55mm Finish: Cellulose - hand burnished Top: Sitka Spruce Back and sides: Cocobolo Neck: Mahogany Fretboard: Ebony Headplate: Ebony Bridge: Ebony Bridge style: Square Tuners: PJE classic chrome Tuner buttons: Black phenolic Fretboard inlays: Small slotted abalone squares Side position marker: Dots Rosette: Abalone ring Back centre strip: Chevron End strip: Ebony Body binding: Ebony Top border: Std Back border: Std Top colour: Natural Truss rod: Square bar non-adjustable Strings: Custom PJE Rotosound 12’s Case: Hiscox PRO-II-GAD          Bob

Handsome guitar. That back strip is striking - do you have a close-up?

That guitar is beautiful. I am particularly smitten by the back strip.

The slope shoulders does make it look a bit like a Gibson. Beautiful diamond inlays on the fretboard! Any idea how the name Kanuga came about? You seem to have a preference for 12 fret guitars, what are its pros?

With the Faith guitars the Neptune series is based on the Saluda. I'm not sure if any of the Faith series are based on the Kanuga. I don't have any preference for 12-frets it's just that I like those particular ones. I'm sure someone can say what the pro's and con's are. Bob
