ROB HARRIS 96 SIGNATURE MODEL
"We collaborated to create an instrument that would work for me on many levels, from its aesthetics to, more importantly, its functionality," said Rob Harris. "Taking the aspects of the 'fluke' I'd discussed, Pat improved on them, resulting in a guitar that reflects my love of the old, but finessed to the brand new. This is a guitar I am proud to put my name to; those times out of my comfort zone, just became a little more comfortable."

As a guitar player, there are times that I find that I am out of my comfort zone. At those times, it’s reassuring to have my ‘go-to’ guitar; that comfortable ‘pair of shoes’ to rely on. For me, it’s been my old, cheap and rustically put together ‘fluke’ of a guitar that I’ve had for around 30 years.
My journey with Patrick James Eggle Guitars and the concept for my signature model began with a chat about designing something that, ultimately would feel as familiar to me as that ‘fluke’ of a guitar that I’ve had with me throughout my career, but with the luxury of bespoke design, tailored to what I need and rely upon; whether in a studio or on the live stage.
