Building on Faith’s exceptional range of steel-string acoustic guitars, the Faith Lyra is the company’s first electro nylon-string offering. As with the rest of the range, the Lyra benefits from the input of master luthier Patrick James Eggle. The result is a highly impressive electro-classical which maintains Faith’s commitment to all-solid woods (Solid Red Cedar for the top; Solid Rosewood for the back and sides) - quite a feat at this price point! The slim neck is designed to be accessible to non-classical players, without alienating traditionalists. Fishman Sonitone / Sonicore electronics provide accurate, reliable amplification. Hard Case Included.

Faith FLCEHG3 Lyra Electro-Classical Guitar - Nylon Strings with Fishman pickup

Designed to appeal to non-classical specialists, the Faith Lyra has a specially profiled neck that is slimmer than a traditional classical guitar. However, unlike other 'hybrid' guitars, it is not so narrow that proper fingerstyle technique is inhibited; you're well served whether playing Rodrigo or Radiohead.

Although standing proud in its own right as Faith’s first nylon stringed guitar, the Lyra shares many characteristics with the hugely popular HiGloss series guitars. Its solid Red Cedar top and solid Rosewood back and sides are finished with the same all-over high gloss finish used on all HiGloss guitars. This helps bring the beautifully warm and rich traditional tonal character of a cedar and rosewood nylon stringed instrument to life, while also delivering an impressive level of natural resonance and volume. It’s all there at your fingertips.

The Lyra features a Mahogany neck with a figured Ebony fingerboard and a figured Ebony bridge alongside a 5cm Indonesian Rosewood soundhole border. It comes fitted with a Fishman Sonitone preamp and pickup designed specifically for nylon stringed guitars. The controls are mounted discreetly just inside the soundhole. It even comes with a Faith hard case, so it is ready to take out and play

The Faith Lyra is a modern, stage ready nylon-string guitar which still maintains an all-important traditional aesthetic; the best of both worlds!
