Faith Naked Saturn FKS Satin Natural 2020 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

Here for sale we have a Faith Naked Saturn FKS dreadnought acoustic guitar in Satin Natural finish. Made in Indonesia in 2020, this Patrick James Eggle designed guitar features an all-solid bolt-on construction comprising an Engelmann Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Indonesian Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. The headstock is overlaid with rosewood & features an MoP inlay. A NuBone saddle & nut are fitted along with a set of Chrome sealed tuning machines. 

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a moderately sized profile that might be described as a 'C' shape. This fills the hand nicely for a comfortable grip when chord playing, but remains slim enough for fast articulate playing. The Satin finish to the rear is pleasant to the touch and assists with smooth navigation of the 25.6" scale. The Indonesian Ebony fingerboard is luxurious under the fingers, and with its 16" radius provides a nicely flat and consistent playing experience right the way up the register. 

The voice of the Faith Naked Saturn FKS is rich and well balanced thanks to the all-solid wood construction that this instrument features. This ensures that the instrument resonates beautifully and adds a real depth & character to the tone. The low end is warm without being too soft, the mid range is punchy and clear, whilst the treble response adds a shimmer and sparkle to every note played on the instrument. There is plenty of dynamic range to be found in this guitar, with the Solid Engelmann Spruce top projecting very well and feeling nicely responsive to the player's touch.
