Faith Eclipse Neptune Cutaway Electro Acoustic Guitar with Hardcase (Black)

The Faith Eclipse Neptune is a professional electro-acoustic guitar designed specifically for live performance. Built on Patrick James Eggle's acclaimed 'Saluda' baby-jumbo body shape, it offers a powerful acoustic voice with a comfortable 16-inch lower bout that provides substantial projection without the bulk of a full-sized jumbo. This model features a solid Engelmann spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, delivering a balanced tone with enhanced mid-range clarity that's particularly responsive to fingerstyle playing. The gloss black finish, complemented by figured maple binding and rosette, gives the instrument a sleek, stage-ready appearance. Key features include the innovative Fishman INK Body preamp system, which combines an S-Core under-saddle piezo pickup with a body sensor for exceptional amplified tonal richness and note articulation. The preamp offers comprehensive control with 3-band EQ, notch filter, brilliance, and blend controls. For the first time in Faith's history, this Eclipse model incorporates an ergonomic forearm contour made from figured maple, significantly improving playing comfort during extended sessions. The neck is crafted from mahogany with a gloss black finish and features a Patrick James Eggle bolt-on design for stability and precise adjustment. The guitar is ideally suited for performing musicians who require reliable amplification and comfort on stage. The included hardcase ensures secure transportation between venues. With its premium materials including a Macassan figured ebony fingerboard and bridge, Grover Rotomatic chrome machine heads, and TUSQ nut and saddle, the Neptune represents a serious instrument for professional use. Its combination of traditional acoustic craftsmanship with modern electronics makes it a versatile choice for various musical styles, from intricate fingerpicking to strummed accompaniment in both studio and live environments.
