Details from the Faith Website

Another tried and tested winner, the Neptune HiGloss is a wonderfully articulate and powerful instrument. Although very capable of unplugged domination with its strong and full-bodied voice, this Neptune can also deliver when subtlety is required thanks to the incredibly responsive tonewoods.

The importance of body shape:
For those seeking acoustic power and projection, the Neptune is the obvious choice. Not quite on the scale of a full-on 17” traditional ‘jumbo’, the Neptune is ‘baby-jumbo’ so it’s a little easier to handle thanks to the slightly smaller 16” lower bout, yet it still delivers an enormous amount of volume and tonal projection.
This Patrick James Eggle original body shape is equipped with a traditional cutaway design, so the upper frets are within easy reach, making solos or more complex chord shapes much more comfortable to achieve.

Which tonewoods are used and why?
The top of this Neptune HiGloss model features premium quality Solid Engelmann Spruce; whilst on the back and sides, the highly figured, 3-piece Indonesian Rosewood is bound in Flamed Mapleto the front and back; and for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate, and heelcap you’ll find our favourite premium hardwood, Indonesian Ebony.

How does it all come together?
This pairing of tonewoods has been popular for decades as together they produce a sound that is bright and “zingy,” with excellent clarity. In terms of a frequency graph, this would look like a smile: Strength in the low frequencies, falling off in the midrange, and then rising again at the top. This results in the classic Spruce / Rosewood tone: Sparkling highs, rich bass notes and fabulous articulation across the spectrum. These tonal characteristics are complemented by the Neptune’s larger body size, delivering more low-end power than comparative Venus or Mercury HiGloss models.
