Patrick James Eggle Guitars is a small English maker of handcrafted electric guitars based in Oswestry, Shropshire. The company is run by luthier Patrick James Eggle, who was born in St Albans in 1964 and first built guitars under his own name in the early 1990s with a Coventry-based operation that grew to produce thousands of instruments a year and released models such as the Berlin. Eggle left that original company in 1994, spent a period working in the United States, and re-established a workshop under the Patrick James Eggle name in 2004, eventually focusing exclusively on electrics from 2016 onward.

The Oswestry workshop emphasizes limited production, lightweight resonant tonewoods, micro-thin finishes, and hand-wound pickups. Core models include The 96 (offered in vintage and contemporary/carved-top configurations), The OZ, and the Macon family of single-cuts (Macon, Macon Junior, Macon Special, and Macon Carved Top), alongside custom shop builds. Eggle also redesigned the Masquerader model for the 2017 relaunch of Shergold Guitars.

Eggle's instruments have been associated with notable players including Tony Iommi, Brian May, Albert Lee, Midge Ure and Rory Gallagher; a JS Berlin Legend built for Rory Gallagher sold for £25,000 at auction in 2014. The 96 and Macon models received a 10/10 Gold rating from Guitarist magazine in 2017.
