Faith PJE Legacy FG2RE Mars with 2-Piece Rosewood Back And Sides

Focusing solely on Patrick James Eggle’s historic acoustic body shapes, Faith PJE Legacy Series guitars utilise premium tonewoods and aesthetics to provide fitting range-toppers for the Faith lineup.

This Faith FG2RE Legacy Series model pairs the wonderfully mature aesthetic and tonal character of a kiln-aged Sitka Spruce top with stunning book-matched 2-piece Rosewood back and sides. This combination delivers on all fronts, offering exceptional visual beauty and producing a rich, seasoned tone with a bright, articulate charm and bags of clarity. The Faith Mars body is based on the Patrick James Eggle 'Kanuga' model - a classic slope-shouldered dreadnought design. Tonally a great all-rounder, the Mars attracts the player with an eye and ear for tradition.

The Sitka Spruce top on this guitar has been kiln-aged through a process of torrefaction or torrefication. The Spruce is air dried before being roasted in a kiln with precise controls over atmospheric and oxygen levels to reduce its moisture content. Then, as the wood cools, precise amounts of moisture are re-introduced to the wood. The resulting timber is more stable – always good when used as a topwood - and aurally, it produces a rich, mellow tone with a mature voicing which would take perhaps 20 years of waiting to achieve under normal circumstances. Treating Spruce this way benefits the look of the wood too, allowing it to take on an aged, golden-caramel colouring.

The FG2RE also features solid, highly-figured Flamed Maple binding, Figured Ebony fretboard and bridge, and a bone nut, saddle and bridge pins. A solid Figured Ebony pickguard completed the premium look.

Fishman FLEX-BLEND Pre-Amp / Pickup

This Faith Legacy model is fitted with Fishman's latest FLEX-BLEND preamp system. Featuring an undersaddle piezo pickup and condensor microphone, greater sound balance is achieved, plus percussive techniques can be fully explored. The preamp features 3 ultra-discreet knobs, a built in tuner, EQ contour control, blend control (Piezo/Mic), and phase control (push to activate). The battery is stored in a special bag located inside the guitar fixed to the neck black, and the jack output is combined with the strap button at the base.
