New for 2017, The Blood Moon is now being offered in the Neptune
body size. It is equally as beautiful as it’s Venus sized sibling, it is also
an instrument which uses only the finest, highly figured Javanese Trembesi for
the top, back and sides. This indigenous Indonesian timber has long been used
by furniture makers for its stunning appearance, but we have been convinced of
its tonal properties for a good while too.
Not unlike Hawaiian Koa, a solid Trembesi instrument reacts
in a similar way to Mahogany, delivering warmth and balance across the strings,
while still having a little rosewood-eque sparkle at the top end.
The exclusive 'Blood Moon' burst finish and solid flamed
maple binding serves to enhance its stunning appearance further.
This Faith Neptune model is based upon Patrick James Eggle's
highly acclaimed 'Saluda' shape.This Faith Neptune model is based upon Patrick

A Baby-Jumbo size with a 16" lower bout, the Neptune is
the perfect model for those seeking acoustic power without the physical bulk of
a full-sized Jumbo.
The last picture shows the size comparison to it's sibling the Venus... with the Neptune being in the forefront.
The pictures shown here are of the actual guitar you would be purchasing.
