Faith Naked Mercury
Looking to make their high-quality craftsmanship available to a wider audience, Faith Guitars creator Patrick James Eggle and his team set out to design an accessible range while preserving the essence of their renowned instruments. Enter the Faith Naked Series, a line of stripped-back guitars that still deliver the rich tone, hand-crafted construction, and all-solid wood build that Faith Guitars is known for.
All-Solid Construction for Pure Sound
The Faith Naked Mercury model showcases a Solid Engelmann Spruce top paired with Solid Mahogany back and sides, creating a warm, resonant tone with impressive projection. With a minimalist two-stage satin finish, this guitar is fitted with a rosewood fingerboard, bridge, and head plate, chrome-plated machine heads, and an elegant 2mm abalone sound hole rosette.
With its mahogany back and sides, the Naked Mercury delivers a rich, mid-range-focused tone. Think of it as a sonic curve, with subtle lows, emphasized mids, and softer highs—a perfectly balanced sound that’s sweet and warm. The result is a blend of notes that work in harmony, making the Naked series ideal for strumming and recording, as it sits comfortably within any mix.
Faith Guitars believes that a satin finish enhances a guitar’s natural resonance, allowing the tonewood to move freely and produce a more "woody" and organic sound. The Naked Series embraces this belief with its simple yet effective satin finish on the top, back, and sides, ensuring unrestricted tonal movement and vibrant sound quality.
Faith's Naked Mercury guitar embodies the perfect combination of stripped-down simplicity and high-end craftsmanship, making it an affordable yet premium choice for players who want pure, resonant tone. Available now at Musicmaker!
