Fishman Pre-Amp / Pickup
These Faith Legacy models are fitted with Fishman's latest FLEX-BLEND preamp system. Featuring an undersaddle piezo pickup and condensor microphone, greater sound balance is achieved, plus percussive techniques can be fully explored. The preamp features 3 ultra-discreet knobs, a built in tuner, EQ contour control, blend control (Piezo/Mic), and phase control (push to activate). The battery is stored in a special bag located inside the guitar fixed to the neck black, and the jack output is combined with the strap button at the base.
Focusing solely on Patrick James Eggle’s historic acoustic body shapes, our new PJE Legacy Series guitars set a new bar for professional excellence.
The Sitka Spruce tops of these guitars have been kiln-aged through a process of torrefaction or torrefication. The Spruce is air dried before being roasted in a kiln with precise controls over atmospheric and oxygen levels to reduce its moisture content. Then as the wood cools, precise amounts of moisture are re-introduced to the wood. The resulting timber is more stable – always good when used as a topwood - and aurally, it produces a rich, mellow tone with a mature voicing which would take perhaps 20 years of waiting to achieve under normal circumstances. Treating Spruce this way has its benefits on the way it looks too with it taking on a golden-caramel colouring that sees this series radiate an authentic, grown-up vibe.
Paired with a range of African Khaya Mahogany and highly-figured, 2-piece Rosewood back and sides, these guitars have real power and depth of tone. They also feature solid high-figure, Flamed Maple bindings, Figured Ebony fingerboards and bridges, and bone nuts, saddles and bridge pins. Also for the first time in Faith Guitars' history – each guitar has a solid Figured Ebony pickguard.

Faith Neptune models are based upon Patrick James Eggle's highly acclaimed 'Saluda' shape. 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.

"Love the guitar but disappointed that dealer had had it in stock for so long which I discovered after checking the serial number and had to return it for repair of the lifting pick guard."
"An overall amazing instrument and a pleasure to play. The build quality, playability and sound are all outstanding - and I have not even plugged it into a PA or amp/preamp yet to fully utilise the condenser mic and pickup. The blend function will be a great tool for both playing live and recording purposes.
I purchased this guitar not only for the playability, sound and blend option, but also due to the fact that I am confident it will give me a professional sound within both my live sets and my recordings.
A very happy customer and thank you to Faith guitars. "

"This is my second Faith Guitar, I find them extremely high quality instruments. My Legacy guitar is one of the best guitars I have played"
"Very pleased with the finish and the sound. Also very playable - probably in part to do with the slightly wider nut width. Selected in preference to Earth and Blood Moon Neptune"
"So far OK, Yet to Gig. Tuner Screen a bit Small and Awkward to see when Guitar in Situ with strap. No Markings for Vol / Tone Controls and would have preferred 3,5,7,9 Inlays in Frets. "
"Beautiful appearance, rich warm tone and excellent playability. The case is sturdy. In short, I love it."
"A great guitar"
"Absolutely love it. Great action, lovely tone, and perfectly set up. It's also a guitar of rare beauty, flawless in its construction, and a joy to own and play. I never dreamt that I would find a guitar of this quality within my budget. "
"Lovely guitar. Still trying to find the right strings to bring out the best of it. Any suggestions?"
"Unbelievable quality and tone compared to guitars more than twice the price."
"So far so good!"
"What an amazing acoustic! Great playabilty, impressing sustain and wonderful richness of tone. High quality materials all over and comes with perfect finish and set up. Highly recommended!"
"Fantastic tone, great playing action and looks beautiful."
"Quite simply the best guitar I have ever played or owned. I am absolutely delighted and can't stop playing it. Incredible value for money too. Before choosing my PJE Legacy Neptune electro acoustic I tried all of the usual USA and Mexican built alternatives and I made my choice based on the quality of its sound, look and feel. That it was the best priced of the bunch was frankly a bonus. A stunning instrument. "
"I like it a little bit more each day"
"Ease of play and really great rich tone."
"Sweet, powerful and sparkling sound over the entire sound spectrum. Attractive appearance. Excellent craftsmanship and quality."
"It is lovely, but I didn't like the DR strings - they sounded a bit dull to my ear - so I changed them for Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze 13s and now it sounds lively and has good note separation when strumming. I love the sustain. It also has a very playable neck and action (even with the heavier gauge strings)"
"Beautifully crafted guitar with excellent range. The body shape is the perfect size for me. Surpassed my expectation for a guitar under $1500. "
"Very nicely made guitar which sounds good plugged or unplugged. Maybe you could include some instructions about changing the battery as it is in a relatively inaccessible position? Also some small position markers on the rotary knobs would be a useful addition."
"Fantastic guitar, already own a Taylor but after watching many reviews online went for the Legacy Neptune and couldn't be happier. Will definitely be looking at another Faith in the future. Oozes quality, craftsmanship and just simply beautiful in looks and tone. Thank you Faith. "
"I bought two of these guitars from Richards guitars, absolutely stunning looking and sounding, so glad we went with Faith, I will recommend these to everyone, I sought the advice of Andyguitar.com who was fantastic at helping choose as was Richard from Richard Guitars, keep up the great work Faith guitars... "
"Looks beautiful, plays well and sounds amazing."
"Gorgeous sound, gorgeous looks. "
