Can guitars be art?
We think so, and so does Faith Guitars’ designer, Patrick James Eggle. From the conception of each piece, through the careful selection of material, to the final hand-finished instrument, the artist realises his visual and aural goal. Art touches the soul of those who experience it, as will your Faith Guitar.
Patrick says: "My approach to building guitars could easily be described as obsessive. My life has been driven by guitars of all types since I was a young boy, and having built my first instrument at the age of 15, I have been refining the design ever since."
"Much like a sculptor or material artist, I start with a clear picture of the end result. Then I choose the appropriate tonewoods, bracing pattern and touch-point materials, and can set about the process of shaping these raw materials into both a playable and desirable instrument."
"Whether it’s one of my own UK-built PJE guitars or one of my Faith designs, my goal is the same: the creation of an instrument that is both highly desirable and highly functional. A piece that would be as visually effective when silent as it would be sonically when in the hands of a skilled musician."
Faith guitars are made from all solid tone woods.. tops backs and sides.
