Product Description
Faith Naked models have the very soul of the guitar exposed for all to hear and experience. Each instrument is beautiful in its simplicity and unadorned with cosmetic additions, and as such, it is more accessible to players of all levels.
The importance of body shape
Inspired by Patrick James Eggle’s original ‘Saluda’ body design, the Neptune is categorised as a ‘baby-jumbo’ model. Measuring 16 inches across the lower bout, it’s somewhat more compact than a traditional 17-inch jumbo, yet it preserves much of the powerful sound and commanding presence associated with larger models. Presented here without a cutaway, the Neptune stands out as a robust, full-bodied instrument.
Which tonewoods are used and why?
The Naked Neptune features an Engelmann Spruce top and Indonesian Mahogany back and sides, both crafted from all-solid wood and finished with a soft satin sheen. The satin finish's significant advantage lies in its ability to allow the all-solid tonewood to move and resonate more freely, unburdened by excessive layers of lacquer. This grants the guitar an exciting and continuously dynamic tone, with the body proudly displaying the marks of every musical endeavour.
How does it all come together?
The Spruce and Mahogany combo has long been a favoured acoustic guitar recipe, and for good reason too. The sonic and visual brightness of the Spruce is tamed a little by the more mellow, softwood tones of the mahogany. True to its ‘Naked’ name, all the woods used are left to show their original colours and grain patterns.
As with all Naked models, the Neptune is equipped with a figured Ebony Fingerboard, Bridge and Bridge Pins.
The Gigbag
Your new Faith Naked is supplied complete with a padded gigbag with handles, backstraps and an accessory pocket. And, when the need arises you can upgrade to a hardcase for extra protection.
