About This Guitar

PJE Legacy Series guitars set a new bar for professional excellence.

The fine, Canadian Sitka Spruce tops of these guitars have been kiln-aged through a process of torrefication (torrefaction) - the Spruce is air dried before being roasted in a kiln with precise controls over atmospheric pressure and oxygen levels to reduce its moisture content.  As the wood cools, precise amounts of moisture are re-introduced.  The resulting topwood takes on a beautiful caramel color, is more restistant to fluctuations in humidity, and produces a rich, mellow tone.

Paired with African Khaya Mahogany on the back & sides, PJE Legacy guitars exhibit power and depth with a refined, mature tone that would otherwise take 20+ years of regular play to achieve.  Stage work is handled by Fishman's latest Flex T-Blend pickup & preamp system, which allows you to blend the crispness of a piezo undersaddle pickup with the more characterful tones of an internal condensor mic.  The controls are beautifully discreet and don't distract from the guitar's contour.

Based on Patrick James Eggle's 'Linville' shape, 'Earth' is a true Orchestral Model and the newest addition to the Faith family.  A flattened, 15" lower bout and shallow body make it a comfortable mid-sized guitar with a unique tonal palette.
