Faith Guitars has announced a number of new additions to its Naked guitar series.
The brand has now been expanded to include the established ‘Mars’ drop-shoulder dreadnought and ‘Saturn’ dreadnought acoustic shapes.
Notable for their stripped back, natural soundboards featuring solid Englemann Spruce tops, Indonesian Mahogany back and sides matched with premium fittings such as Ebony bridge pins, Abalone rosettes and precision chrome machineheads – Faith Naked series guitars are pitched as offering specifications above and beyond what is expected at their price range.
With the brands Mercury, Neptune and Venus shapes making up the series to date – the latter having historically been awarded the ‘UK’s Best Acoustic Guitar’ – the new drop-shoulder and conventional dreadnought additions are designed to appeal to players who value naturally resonant and responsive solid tonewoods and traditional acoustic guitar aesthetics.
Available both as non-electro and electro acoustic versions, the new Mars model is based upon the classic drop-shoulder ‘Kanuga’ model from Faith Guitars designer Patrick James Eggle. Also available in non-electro and electro forms, the Faith Naked Saturn guitar delivers a strong low-end tone with a driving midrange and lively treble notes synonymous with the dreadnought shape.
Both Faith Naked Mars and Saturn non-electro guitars retail for £479 with electro versions retailing at £529. They are available to order now in initial limited quantities exclusively from Barnes & Mullins .
