Here for sale we have a Faith Natural Series Saturn Cutaway Dreadnought acoustic guitar in Natural finish. Made in Indonesia in 2010, this guitar features an all-solid bolt-on construction comprising an Engelmann Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Macassar Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. This guitar is fitted with a TUSQ saddle and nut as well as a set of Gold Grover Rotomatic tuning machines with Ebony buttons. An undersaddle piezo pickup is fitted and is wired directly to the endpin output jack.

 

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a moderately sized profile that might be described as a 'C' shape. This fills the hand nicely for a comfortable grip when chord playing, but remains slim enough for fast articulate playing. The Satin finish to the rear is pleasant to the touch and assists with smooth navigation of the 25.6" scale, whilst the cutaway enhances access to the upper register, really opening up the full range of the instrument. . The Macassar Ebony fingerboard is luxurious under the fingers, and with its 16" radius provides a nicely flat and consistent playing experience right the way up the register. 

 

The voice of the Faith Natural Series Saturn Cutaway is rich and well balanced thanks to the all-solid construction of the instrument. This ensures that it resonates beautifully, adding a real depth to the tone. The low end is warm without being too soft, the mid range is punchy and clear, whilst the treble response adds a shimmer and sparkle to every note played on the instrument. There is plenty of dynamic range to be found in this guitar, with the Solid Engelmann Spruce top projecting very well and feeling nicely responsive to the player's touch. The undersaddle piezo pickup accurately conveys the voice of the instrument, adding the versatility required for live and recording situations.

    Aesthetic Condition:

    Headstock: Overall very good condition. Light scratching to the front face is visible under direct light, as is common with high gloss finishes. The top edge shows very light indentation, lightly felt under the finger.

     

    Neck: Overall very good condition. Light indentations to the rear of the neck are present behind the 3rd fret treble side and 4th fret bass side. These are only lightly felt under the thumb and do not impact the overall playability of the instrument. The heel joint shows a very small gap to the rear. This has been tested and does not flex under pressure, and as the guitar is a bolt-on construction, this presents no structural concern.

     

    Body: Overall very good condition. Very light scratching and indentation is present to the front face, most notably to the bass side lower bout. Any other markings are difficult to discern. 

     

    Condition of Frets:

    The frets demonstrate very light signs of use, not affecting playability. There is considerable material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
