Description
This prototype from Faith is a unique one of a kind guitar! The guitar is in very good condition but there are a couple of dings on the top near the lower bout which we have been unable to photograph due to the high gloss finish. Also, there are two cracks in the lacquer on the back of the instrument. (See pictures).
This Faith Neptune model is based upon Patrick James Eggle’s highly acclaimed ‘Saluda’ shape. A Baby-Jumbo size with a 16" lower bout, the Neptune is the perfect model for those seeking acoustic power without the physical bulk of a full-sized Jumbo.
Using high grade Englemann Spruce for the top and a three piece rosewood back Natural models feature solid Ebony binding and Macassan Ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap. Tonally, this combination of wood is generally warm, sweet and boasts superb clarity, delivering an overall balanced and well defined tone.
