Fishman Pre-Amp / Pickup
This Faith Guitar is fitted with the refined, low-profile Fishman INK3 preamp system with the Sonicore piezo pickup located under the saddle. The preamp features a chromatic tuner, 3 band EQ and volume control. The output jack is located at the base of the guitar as part of the ingenious, easy-access battery compartment.
A little beauty, this Mercury is a traditional short-scale parlour model. With the neck joining the body at the 12th fret - rather than the 14th - the strings are held at a slightly lower tension than on regular models. Another implication of the 12th fret join is that the bridge is shifted further from the soundhole.
These features result in a guitar that is physically easier to play, sounds much bigger than you would imagine and is also simple to handle and transport.
Faith Eclipse series were conceived as'stage guitars': instruments that offered workhorse functionality and optimum performance capability. Using the same structure and tonewood combination as the Natural Series - Spruce and Mahogany - the Eclipse models are finished with a Black stain and a clear PU lacquer all over. The lacquer serves to control the tonewood resonance a little, resulting in a more predictable and focussed tone when performing on stage.
Further to their aesthetic appeal, Eclipse models feature solid Flamed Maple binding as well as using Macassan Ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap.

"I am very pleased with it, it looks good and plays well. "
"Beautiful guitar , very well made and finished, great tone and plays so well ,so pleased with my purchase ,great electrics and the built in tuner very accurate , my Taylor 12 fret cost over four times more than i paid for the Faith so brilliant value for money in the Faith."
"I love it, went to look to the guitar to dismiss it but the tone is amazing! Though the setup was poor."
"She's an absolute beauty but wish the neck was finished in satin and wish you would offer a 45mm nut across the range as an option."
"I AM INLOVE. "
"Love it! Looks beautiful, perfect size for me, feels great play, great sound, good price. "
"Very impressed "
"Great all solid wood guitar love the smaller body and shorter scale. Very easy and comfortable to play. Good for strumming and finger picking. Nice action very well set up. Came with a humidifier which is very thoughtful and 3 different height nuts to cater for different playing styles. I have five acoustic guitars all solid wood and this is definitely up with the best of them."

"Perfect"
"Outstanding in every way! The detail, the extra bridges, the humidifiers. A lot can be said, I care about sound and playability. Musicradar gave it 5/5. I want to extend detail and rate it 10/10. Thank you Faith UK & Faith Indonesia for the extra good work."

"It\'s a very fine guitar for finger style blues. Amplified it\\\'s near to my favourite electric guitars."
"I love it! The build quality is superb, and it sounds lovely. I am a relative beginner and learning with a electric fender strat but using the faith acoustic has really improved my guitar playing, as playing the faith is much harder on the hands!"
"Love the warm rich sound it produces."
"really like it,plays and sounds fantastic, top quality build,nice case, just a lovely thing to hold and play, cant put it down, going to put some elixir polywebs on so should sound even nicer."
