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.
Faith HiGloss series are designed to offer both visual and aural beauty. Using high grade Englemann Spruce for the top and highly-figured Rosewood for the back and sides, HiGloss models feature solid Flamed Maple binding and Macassan Ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap.
Tonally, this combination of wood is generally bright and 'zingy', delivering great clarity. Visualising this as a frequency curve, it would be shaped like a smile: high on the bass, dipping down through the middle and rising once again at the top end, lending itself to fingerstyle and solo pieces in particular.

"From the first strum, this guitar was above others. Beautiful workmanship and the sound is beautifully rich and resonate."
"An absolutely brilliant guitar. compares admirably on guitars costing 3+ times more.

"Truly excellent. Superb finish. Great sustain even from new. But would expect a better made case, the interior is very poor."
"Played several guitars and found this best suited me. It replaced my guitar purchased 40 years ago and was the best spec/sounding at a price I could afford. I don't play percussive and the guitar was very responsive."
"Love it.....plays superb, sounds fantastic. Great build quality."
"Absolutely fantastic, both in value for money and in pure quality. Elegant, classy design with excellent build quality, and a great modern sound to go with it. I look forward to what Faith come up with in the future."
"Great value for an all solid guitar and quality craftsmanship. It produces a very noticeable difference in sound compared to guitars of other brands in the same price range. Only con is the action is a bit too low and makes a fuzzy sound if played too hard. "
"Super tone, lovely feel, great sound"
"It's hard to find a decent guitar with a rounded sound with an excellent action, but your Guitar is amazing. thank you "
"Incredible value for money. For the quality of finish and tonewoods used on this guitar I would easily expect to pay twice the price. If you're in the market for a high end guitar you should definitely check out the Faith Higloss series."
"Very good,very loud and well made"
"Beautiful"
"I am very impresssed with the overall build quality, including nice touches such as the use of TUSQ, Grover machines, D'Addario strings and a humidifier. The tone across the range is splendid, as is the volume and sustain. The hard case seems well made but when I open a lid I like it to stay open so would recommend a longer internal webbing strap to allow this."
