Ideal for both seated or standing performance
The Faith Nexus Neptune features a scaled down jumbo body, providing the player with the same powerful voice that a full-sized and more traditional jumbo can project, but within a more comfortable size. Its size is also ideal for those that find full-sized jumbos a little to much to handle as the baby jumbo is easy to hold close to the body and offers comfort throughout both seated and standing performance.
Removing the bulky body and replacing it with a slimmer, more compact size and a 16'' lower bout also provides comfort and sonically produces plenty of balance, definition and superb acoustic volume. Furthermore, the baby jumbo size with its sonically-powerful body, quality bracing, and combination of tonewoods, the Nexus Neptune delivers the harmonically-rich tonality that is expected on higher-end instruments.
Discover the all-mahogany resonance
The Faith Nexus Neptune offers an all-mahogany construction, with a solid top, sides, and back that provide the player with a full-bodied, rich-sounding acoustic guitar. Its beautifully figured solid top has a natural compression that produces strong fundamentals with a clear, direct focus. Additionally, its solid back and sides add resonance and a distinct warmth to the guitar's sound, whilst producing a punchy, woody, meaty tonality and emphasis within the mid-range.
Furthermore, with its entire solid-wood construction, the Nexus Neptune offers natural resonance and will perform superbly within numerous playing styles. Lastly, the Faith Nexus Neptune is stripped back of unnecessary cosmetic finishes and features a hand-applied copper black stain with a carefully applied high gloss lacquer that adds a layer of protection as well as highlighting the mahogany's natural beauty.
Excellent choice of tonewoods
With a neck constructed from mahogany, the Nexus Neptune offers a quick and dynamic response with plenty of warmth and resonance. Mahogany's nature allows it to respond superbly to numerous playing styles and techniques with ease, perfect for getting creative and unleashing true potential. Furthermore, the neck is topped with a Macassan figured ebony fingerboard that adds ringing sustain, plenty of bite and a bright sizzle to the guitar's overall tone. For added aesthetic appeal, the fingerboard also features Faith's majestic 'F' logo placed on the 12th fret and inlaid in mother of pearl for an elegant look.
Take it to the stage
The Faith Nexus Neptune comes equipped with a discreet Fishman Sonitone preamp, which is subtly mounted within the soundhole, and offers basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal settings. The preamp is versatile and responsive, and features rotary controls for tone and volume. With this, the player can shape their amplified sound by simply plugging in to an amplifier or PA system, perfect for the performing musician.
Sturdy construction
The Patrick James Eggle X-brace design and is made from quarter-sawn spruce, offering reinforced structure with enhanced tone and volume. Bracing serves two purposes, to stop the guitar from collapsing under string tension, and to shape the guitar's sound. The Patrick James Eggle X-brace design forms an X shape that intersects just behind the sound hole, giving support and stability to the guitar with a rich, beautifully balanced tone and superb projection.
