     - thin and narrow necks.
    narrow yes,  I wouldnt say they are particularly thin - except perhaps compared to some martin and yamaha tree trunks   :)    

    perhaps Ive just owned/played a lot of slim necked acoustics   :D  

     TBH I havent had the faith out of the case in months.....
    Yeah, I guess. They just feel thin to me as I'm more used to "tree trunks". :)

    Isn't George Michael a big fan of the brand?

    Taxi for @richardhomer !!
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    There is a gross misrepresentation in the statement above.  They are not made in China.  Patrick James Eggle has trained a family of luthiers in Indonesia  and Faith guitars as sent to England for set up and inspection by Patrick's staff in England before they are shipped.

    I recently bought a Faith Mercury Natural (parlour sized). I would qualify this assessment of Faith guitars on the basis that my sample size is one, but I've been incredibly impressed with it. All solid woods, Grover tuners hard case and impeccable set up for ridiculous money. They are made in Indonesia (not China) and as the above post states, they are set up under Eggle's guidance and it does show. The only thing that sets this apart from high end guitars to me is that the bracing is a bit messy on the inside in terms of glue over-spill. The nut and bridge saddle are also plastic, rather than bone as you might find on a high end guitar. 

    Overall you get a professional quality guitar built from quality materials for a very reasonable price. What's not to like?

    haven't read all the post I'm going to say no , its true they are  well built , look the part , but I don't like how they sound , I have tried a few faith guitars including the Neptune and for me they are lacking something in how they sound , so a cheaper guitar might not be as well made but sound better .  so try it out before buying it

    A friend I play bass with has had one for a few months.  I'm not sure of the model, but it's a cutaway electro acoustic, matte sunburst with no binding.  It sounds fine unplugged, but it's boxy and feedback prone when amplified, the preamp has died and had to be repaired and his sweat has eaten through big patches of the topcoat, so it looks trashed already.  It has quite a hard life doing regular pub sessions, but so far it hasn't made a great impression.

    As silly as it sounds the name and the logo really puts me off. However I tried one and it was quite decent.

    Hello from the other side of the pond.   I just recently purchased a Blood Moon Venus.  Love the guitar, hate the DR strings it came with. I was wondering what you all have been using.  I've been a fan of  elixirs for years and am tempted to replace the stock with a set of Phosphor Bronze Polywebs   or the HD lites.... thoughts?
