Hey guys, I love this guitar to bits but haven't played it in a year since getting my Jem and I don't think i'll play it again, it's a shame to have it setting in the case and i've found another Ibanez I wanted to buy a few years ago but never got the money to do so.
Anyone who knows about Patrick Eggle will know they're British hand made guitars using very high quality materials made to the same standard if not better than PRS.
This particular model is very hard to find, they sometimes crop up on **** but hardly ever.
Here are the specs:
Mahogany body with maple top (arched top)
Absolutely beautiful orange flame, you'll see in the pics but it looks much better in the finish, it's like you could dip your arm in the top right up up the your elbow
Mahogany neck with
ebony fretboard (24 frets), dot inlays
Sperzel locking tuners
Wilkinson bridge, unfortunately no trem arm.
Kent Armstrong pickups in zebra configuration
5 Position pickup selector, pickup tip missing but you can find a replacement easily.
Non-offical hardcase.
The serial number is VP-8-93-180
The condition I would describe is good. There is a dink maybe 2mm across to the left of the trem, there is some light chipping around the bottom rear edge, there is average fretwear but still plenty of life left in the frets, the bridge could also do with a bit of a clean, the saddles are a little tarnished, this was from the previous owner who did not care to wipe it down after playing, the trem still functions perfectly smoothly however and the guitar stays in solid tune. The guitar plays extremely well, i'd comfortably say it's easier to play than my Jem.

Here are some close up pic including the imperfections and a pic of the overall fretwear, if you want some more high res versions then send us a pm/email/whatever, i've also got some more (older) shots of the guitar in general:
