Description
Faith’s Blood Moon Neptune Cutaway Electro greets you with deep amber figuring that shifts under stage lights like polished copper. The high gloss Blood Moon burst sweeps across a solid trembesi top, back, and sides, each board graded AAA and chosen for grain as much as resonance. Trembesi combines the rounded low mids of mahogany with a trace of koa shimmer, so the first chord blooms with warmth before a crisp edge rolls off the top. The Neptune “baby jumbo” outline adds extra air without the shoulder stretch of a full-size jumbo, and the elegant cutaway makes the eighteenth-fret melody feel as close as the seventh.
A mahogany neck meets the body with Patrick James Eggle’s bolt-on joint, keeping the heel slim and secure. The fingerboard is Macassan ebony, its sixteen-inch radius smooth under string bends, and the scale length sits at a lively six-hundred-and-fifty millimetres, giving bold projection while still bending with ease. Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners lock in pitch, a two way truss rod hides inside for seasonal tweaks, and a TUSQ nut cut at forty-three millimetres keeps every open note clear. Flamed maple binding traces the body edges, framing the burst beneath a sweep of gloss so deep you almost fall into it.
Inside, hand scalloped quarter sawn spruce braces form Eggle’s forward X pattern, letting the trembesi plates pump air like a small sound cannon yet still stay balanced across the register. Fingerpicked arpeggios speak with piano-like articulation while full strums carry a rich undercurrent that never turns boomy. When the house system calls, a Fishman INK3 preamp and Sonicore undersaddle pickup pass that character straight to the desk. The flush side panel holds a three-band EQ, phase switch, and chromatic tuner, so you step onstage, set levels in seconds, and start the set. Faith rounds out the package with a wood-shell hard case lined in plush velvet, ready for the next session or tour van.
