Precision Body Design for Comfort and Sound
The Eclipse adopts the iconic Venus body shape from Faith’s original range, lauded worldwide for its ideal balance of size and tone. With a 15" lower bout and shallower body depth, it is comfortable to hold for hours without sacrificing acoustic power or tonal richness, making it perfect for onstage performance or lengthy practice sessions.
Premium Tonewoods for Superior Sound
Faith’s classic combination of solid Engelmann Spruce top and solid Mahogany back and sides offers an elegant blend of brightness, warmth and sustain. The gloss black finish with clear lacquer subtly tempers the natural resonance, yielding a refined, articulate tone that translates beautifully through amplified setups.
Enhanced Playability and Ethical Craftsmanship
Introducing a new level of ergonomic refinement, the Eclipse features a striking figured maple forearm contour that enhances comfort and playability. The guitar’s entire aesthetic and construction reflect Faith’s commitment to sustainability, avoiding traditional animal-based materials in favour of responsibly sourced maple binding, rosette and logos.
Revolutionary Electronics for Powerful Amplified Tone
Equipped with Fishman’s INK BODY preamp system, the Eclipse elevates amplified sound by marrying a traditional undersaddle piezo pickup with a body sensor positioned under the bridge. This combination increases tonal richness and adds expressive depth, ideal for nuanced fingerstyle or rhythmic performance. A dedicated ‘body’ control lets players fine-tune the balance between piezo and body sensor signals to personalise their amplified tone.
Included Protective Hardcase
Your Faith Eclipse arrives complete with a high-quality black wood shell hardcase featuring a plush padded interior, ensuring your instrument stays safe during transport and storage. We recommend storing the guitar in its case when not in use to maintain its immaculate condition.
