Main Features
- Solid mango wood top, back and sides for vibrant, resonant tone
- Elegant moondust grey lacquer finish enhancing natural grain
- Full-bodied Neptune cutaway shape for effortless upper fret access
- Dynamic, powerful sound with excellent projection and tonal clarity

Thoughtful Body Design
Inspired by Patrick James Eggle’s renowned ‘Saluda’ body shape, the Neptune FX offers the perfect balance between volume and comfort. Its ‘Baby-Jumbo’ 16-inch lower bout delivers robust sound without the bulk of a full 17-inch jumbo guitar. The cutaway design provides easy access to higher frets and reduces the overall size for enhanced playability.
Exceptional Tonewoods Selection
Crafted from mango wood sourced from Java, Indonesia, this guitar features lighter hues that beautifully complement the moondust finish. Mango’s hybrid hardwood-softwood nature delivers a tonal richness comparable to mahogany and koa. Only the stiffest pieces are chosen to ensure superior resonance and sound quality.
Tonal Character and Craftsmanship
The Neptune FX shines with strong upper-bass frequencies, balanced midrange warmth and a subtle top-end taper for a smooth and rich sound. Finishing touches such as flamed maple binding and macassan figured ebony fittings add sophistication and durability to the instrument, making it as visually striking as it is sonically impressive.
Advanced Electronics
Equipped with the Fishman INK3 preamp and sonicore undersaddle pickup, this guitar is ready for stage and studio with ease. The side-mounted preamp includes a 3-band equaliser and built-in tuner, offering precise control without compromising the guitar’s sleek profile. Output jack, battery compartment and strap button are seamlessly integrated at the base.
Protective Hardcase Included
Your Neptune FX arrives in a premium woodshell hardcase with plush padded interior, ensuring your investment remains safe and well cared for during transport and storage. We recommend keeping your guitar in the case when not in use to maintain its pristine condition.
