Here for sale we have a Faith Neptune Blood Moon. Designed by Patrick James Eggle, this guitar was made in Indonesia in 2019 and features an all-solid construction comprising Indonesian Trembesi top, back & sides, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Macassar Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. The body is double bound in Solid Flamed Maple, whilst the top is adorned with a handsome Abalone rosette. This guitar is fitted with Gold Grover Rotomatic tuning machines, compensated Bone saddle and a TUSQ nut. An undersaddle piezo pickup is installed, and is wired to a Fishman INK3 preamp with master volume, bass, middle and treble controls as well as an on-board tuner.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with what might be described as a moderately-sized rounded 'C' profile that fills the hand nicely without feeling cumbersome. The worn-in Gloss finish to the rear of this particular neck provides a sense of familiarity to the playing experience which is really quite inspiring in the hands. The Macassar Ebony fingerboard is supremely pleasant under the fingers and provides a durable yet luxurious playing surface. The 16" radius is practical for chords, fingerstyle and melodic playing techniques, whilst the cutaway enhances access to the upper frets, really opening up the full register of the instrument.
The Faith Neptune is close in size and shape to a baby jumbo. This means that there is plenty of power and depth to the tone whilst retaining a comfortable and manageable playing position. The Indonesian Trembesi used in this instrument's construction delivers a warm and balanced tone, not dissimilar to Mahogany, but with a Rosewood-esque sparkle in the top end. The top projects well and provides a wide and sensitive dynamic range with no loss of clarity at higher volumes. It's easy to see why this guitar has been so well reviewed since its release.
