Description
The Faith Neptune acoustic guitar — a harmonious fusion of comfort, playability, and awe-inspiring sound. Engineered on the foundation of Patrick James Eggle’s celebrated ‘Saluda’ design, the Neptune model offers an enviable blend of acoustic richness and manageable physical dimensions that make it an accessible choice for all players.
At the heart of this model is the innovative ‘Baby Jumbo’ design. With a lower bout measuring 16 inches, the Neptune guitar provides the vibrant, room-filling resonance of a full-sized Jumbo, without the daunting size. This clever design ensures that every strum produces a robust and captivating tone, without compromising on comfort or ease of play.
The Faith Neptune is a proud member of Faith’s Natural series — the trailblazing line that set the standard for all subsequent Faith Guitars. The time-honoured combination of Spruce and Mahogany brings a rich, melodious quality to your music, evoking a warmth, sweetness, and balance that’s second to none.
The top wood is crafted from high-grade Engelmann Spruce, renowned for its excellent tonal qualities. Its back and sides feature satin-finished Mahogany, lending a depth of tone that beautifully complements the spruce. Framing this exquisite arrangement is a solid Ebony binding, adding a dash of elegance and strength to the guitar’s construction.
The Neptune’s attention to detail continues to the fingerboard, bridge, headplate, and heelcap, all of which are made of Macassan Ebony. This dense, dark wood is not only stunning but also offers a smooth playing surface, enhancing both comfort and precision for the player.
Each Neptune guitar is equipped with an array of high-quality components. From the hand-scalloped quarter-sawn spruce bracing following Patrick James Eggle’s X-Brace design, to the precision-engineered Grover Rotomatic Gold machine heads, every element serves a specific purpose. The Fishman INK3 preamp with an undersaddle pickup comes as standard, ensuring the guitar’s natural acoustic quality shines through when amplified.
Finished with a glossy top and satin back and sides, the Neptune is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear. The abalone inlay rosette and Mother of Pearl ‘F’ at the 12th fret add an extra touch of sophistication. Also included is a durable Faith hard case for protective storage and transport.
In summary, the Faith Neptune acoustic guitar is a powerhouse of sound encased in an elegant, player-friendly design. It’s the perfect choice for those seeking a resonant and robust acoustic sound without the physical demand of a full-sized jumbo guitar. Crafted with expertise, passion, and a genuine understanding of a musician’s needs, it’s the sort of instrument you’d confidently recommend, share with a friend, or even highlight in a music magazine or encyclopedia.
Experience the Faith Neptune — where stunning design meets superior sound. A guitar that truly speaks your musical language.
