FAITH "FMESB45-BNC Classic Burst Mercury Electro with Hardcase"

Model Overview

A little beauty, this Mercury is a traditional short-scale parlour model. With the neck joining the body at the 12th fret - rather than the 14th - the strings are held at a slightly lower tension than on regular models. Another implication of the 12th fret join is that the bridge is shifted further from the soundhole. 

These features result in a guitar that is physically easier to play, sounds much bigger than you would imagine and is also simple to handle and transport. 

Using the combination of Red Cedar and Mahogany, Classic Burst models sound as rich and warm as they look. Using a three-tone burst finish, based on deep browns, reds and amber, this finish is intentionally understated and is a personal favourite of Patrick's.

The tonal character will have emphasis on the lower-midrange with a beautifully warm, vocal nature. The Classic Burst models are bound with Solid Macassan Ebony, and use the same high quality timber for the fingerboards, headplates, heelplates, bridges and bridge pins. Faith Classic Burst guitars are complete with a Faith Hardcase.

FAITH "FKVMG - Naked Venus Cut/Electro - Mahogany"

Faith Guitars Naked Series

The Spruce top and Mahogany body of each of the Faith Naked instruments is 100% solid tonewood – in keeping with all other Faith series. However, the cosmetics and non-essential dressing has been stripped away, leaving the guitars in their natural, Naked state. Satin finished all over, the tonewood is almost entirely unrestricted in its resonant movement, so the tone delivered is far beyond what is normally expected at this price level.

Patrick James Eggle explains:
“I think of the Naked models as having the very soul of the guitar exposed for all to hear and experience. Each instrument is uncomplicated and unadorned with unnecessary cosmetics, and as such they fall within the reach of musicians of every level. Each instrument uses high quality, solid tonewoods, with a simple satin finish that lets the guitar breathe and move with no restriction.

The result is an incredibly responsive guitar that longs to be played and will happily show the battle scars of every musical encounter”.

FAITH "FDNMG - Nomad Mini-Neptune Electro" (SOLD)

"This is my 3rd faith guitar. I also have a naked Venus and a hi gloss Neptune. I love these guitars. They are so well made and at a good price. I'll have to get this nomad set up which is a little disappointing because the action is pretty high but since it arrived today I haven't put it down."

"I now own two Faith guitars , they are excellent guitars and great value .
I have played many high end guitars and faith guitars compare very favourably with them and at a very good price"
