Faith Naked Neptune Spruce/Mahogany - Black Satin

The Faith Naked Neptune Electro Acoustic, Spruce/Mahogany Satin offers a sonically-powerful acoustic voice and a classic yet versatile mixture of tonewoods combined with built-in Fishman electronics and a stripped back, 'Naked', appearance. With a solid engelmann spruce top and solid Indonesian body, the Faith Naked Neptune projects a classic sonic performance with plenty of versatility, power and articulation, ideal for numerous genres and techniques. Furthermore, the Naked Neptune features a scaled down jumbo body also known as the 'baby jumbo' with a 16'' lower bout, providing the player with the sonic-power of a traditional sized jumbo but with comfortable, easy playability. Lastly, the Faith Naked Neptune also comes equipped with a Fishman Sonitone preamp, offering volume and tone control for live, studio and rehearsal settings.

Solid Engelmann Spruce Top & Solid Indonesian Mahogany Body

The Faith Naked Neptune features an entire solid wood construction for a superior tone and incredible dynamic response. Its solid engelmann spruce top yields crisp articulation and slightly richer mid-range than sitka spruce. The solid top's smooth tone provides a versatile soundboard that is able to accommodate numerous genres and techniques with equal ease, from fingerpicking styles to heavier strumming patterns. Furthermore, the solid engelmann spruce top is paired with Indonesian mahogany back and sides that add warmth, resonance and plenty of emphasis to the bass and trebles, providing the player with a rich, complex, and full-bodied sound that is more well-known as the 'classic' acoustic voice.

Mahogany Neck & Indonesian Ebony Fingerboard

With a neck constructed from mahogany, the Naked Neptune offers a quick and dynamic response with plenty of warmth and resonance. Mahogany's nature allows it to respond superbly to numerous playing styles and techniques with ease, perfect for getting creative and unleashing true potential. Furthermore, the neck is topped with an Indonesian ebony fingerboard that adds ringing sustain, plenty of bite and a bright sizzle to the guitar's overall tone. For added aesthetic appeal, the fingerboard also features Faith's majestic 'F' logo placed on the 12th fret and inlaid in mother of pearl for an elegant look.

Fishman Sonitone

The Faith Naked Neptune comes equipped with a discreet Fishman Sonitone preamp, which is subtly mounted within the soundhole, and offers basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal settings. The preamp is versatile and responsive, and features rotary controls for tone and volume. With this, players can shape their sound by simply plugging in to an amplifier or PA system, perfect for the performing musician.

Baby Jumbo Body

The Faith Naked Neptune features a scaled down jumbo body, providing the player with the same powerful voice that a full-sized and more traditional jumbo can project, but within a more comfortable size. Its size is also ideal for those that find full-sized jumbos a little to much to handle as the baby jumbo is easy to hold close to the body and offers comfort throughout both seated and standing performance. Removing the bulky body and replacing it with a slimmer, more compact size and a 16'' lower bout also provides comfort and sonically produces plenty of balance, definition and superb acoustic volume. Furthermore, the baby jumbo size, combination of tonewoods and stripped back cosmetics leaves the tonewoods completely unrestricted; and with its sonically-powerful body and bracing, the Faith Naked Neptune delivers the harmonically-rich tonality that is expected on higher-end instruments.

Faith's 'Naked' Appearance

All of the guitars within Faith's Naked series have stripped back cosmetics, resulting any unnecessary finishes and non-essential dressings being replaced with a 2-stage satin finish. With a 2-stage satin finish all over, the guitar offers a natural and eye-catching look as well as an enhanced tone. In addition, its entire satin finish leaves the tonewoods completely unrestricted, providing the player with superb resonance and a sound that is up and beyond what is expected at this price range. Furthermore, this stunning Naked Neptune model has a hand-rubbed stain with a satin finish complemented by black hardware and a beautiful abalone rosette that glistens delightfully against the natural, thru-black finish.
