Faith FNCEBLM Neptune Blue Moon

Set apart by its use of solid Indonesian Mango for both the soundboard and back and sides wood, the Faith FNCEBLM Neptune Blue Moon Cutaway is a truly eye-catching and ear-pleasing guitar. It comes fitted with high quality Fishman INK3 preamp and Fishman Sonicore undersaddle pickup, allowing it to perform equally well plugged in. It comes supplied with a Faith-branded hard case.

Faith FNCEBLM Neptune Blue Moon

The key feature of this guitar is the tone wood. Mango sits somewhere between a hardwood and a softwood, not dissimilar to Mahogany, Koa or in fact Trembesi (as used on the Blood Moon models). Each log can of course vary in its particular hardness, but Faith select the stiffest boards they can to ensure the best tone. Tonally, Mango has an interesting character. It is not as loud and punchy as rosewood nor as straightforwardly mellow as mahogany, yet it bears its own distinctive warmth. With frequency prominence starting a little below that of mahogany and dropping off a little earlier in the mid-range, the overall tone could be described as dark and moody.

Much like maple guitars, the reduced level of resonant overtones makes the Mango-bodied Blue Moon a perfect stage guitar: Eminently controllable, balanced and resistant to feedback.  Mango trees grow freely right across the Indonesian archipelago, so the timbers used on Blue Moon guitars are sourced close to Faith's workshops in Java, Indonesia, and as always, from certified timber merchants.  Finished with flamed Maple binding, Macassan Ebony fittings, Fishman Electronics and complete in a hard case, your Faith Neptune Blue Moon is sure to intrigue and delight you at every turn.

The body of this instrument is baby-jumbo sized, resulting in much of the volume of a full sized jumbo, but in a slightly smaller package.
