Faith FNCE12EC Eclipse Neptune 12 String Electro Acoustic With Cutaway

Description

Faith Eclipse models aredesigned as the ultimate ‘stage guitars,’ withworkhorse reliabilityyet maximumperformance capability. And they always look awesome in the spotlight. Theclassic combination of a Solid Spruce Top and Solid Mahogany back and sidesensure you have a superb unplugged sound, with an idealblend of presence and full-bodied tone.The onyx black finish, covered with carefully applied, clear lacquer, helps to tame the tonewood’s natural resonance, producing areassuringly balanced and focused tone when amplified, yet retaining that essential warmth in the midrange.As youstep onstage and plug-in,you’ll feel your new Eclipse really come to life. Theupgraded onboard electronics – in the form of Fishman’s revolutionary INK BODY preamp system–have been carefully selected toenhance amplified performanceby combining theclarity of a traditional undersaddle piezo pickup with the tonal richness of a body sensor.This system not only takesamplified sound to incredible new heights, but it also allows for muchgreater note expressionwhether you’re playing chords or complex fingerstyle pieces.A ‘body’ control knobon the discreet Fishman preamp fascia enables players tointuitively dial in the bridge-plate mounted sensor alongside the piezo, under-saddle pickup,offering greater control over the level of body-derived tone or percussion in the mix.You will have more control over your tone than ever before.You’ll also notice that for the first time in our history – and in a move that truly brings the Eclipse name to life – a beautiful,Figured Maple ergonomic forearm contourhas been introduced to the guitar body tomaximise comfort and playability.This Maple arm contour is matched by the stunning figured maple binding that covers the outer edges of each instrument.And, in line with our continued commitment to ethical and sustainable manufacturing processes, these new Eclipse guitars arefree from all animal products: traditional Abalone and Mother of Pearl rosette and logo materials have been replaced with beautifully figured maple. And just as with all other Faith Guitars, for every guitar that finds a new home, we plant trees in with ‘JustOneTree’.–This Faith Neptune 12 String 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.SpecificationTop Wood Solid Engelmann Spruce (Black Gloss) w.
