One of the original Faith shapes that launched the brand at the beginning of this century, this Saturn is a square-shouldered dreadnought design.
Based upon the traditional early 20th century designs, the Saturn is like an old friend: you know exactly what to expect, and it always delivers just as you would want.
The Spruce top and Mahogany body of each of the Faith Naked instruments is 100% solid tonewood – in keeping with all other Faith series. However, the cosmetics and non-essential dressing has been stripped away, leaving the guitars in their natural, Naked state. Satin finished all over, the tonewood is almost entirely unrestricted in its resonant movement, so the tone delivered is far beyond what is normally expected at this price level.
All Naked guitars are now supplied with a padded Faith Gigbag.

"Well... this is my second Faith purchased from The Music Traders in NC - I guess you could say that I really liked the first one and this one does not disappoint."
"the look and feel of the guitar is great.
as I have only started to play it today so just getting used to it but so far so good. "
as I have only started to play it today so just getting used to it but so far so good. "
"I absolutely love this guitar! The naked finish looks beautiful! Though it is more easily prone to dents and scrapes that is always going to happen with a guitar you regularly play. The tone of the strings tuned down is like nothing I have ever heard (I like to play in DADGAD and the D drone with this guitar is incredible). The onboard pickup is very good too and worth the extra money, particularly as I have finally started to play live and this is my number one guitar. "
"Great sound at an affordable price - perfect for me!"
"This is my very first guitar, which I purchased following recommendations for its quality of materials, sound and playability. I am delighted by the guitar, it’s classic and simplistic appearance and the beautiful tone it produces. "

"Unable to try before buying because of Covid restrictions. I had read the reviews and they were all very positive. However, it's even better than I thought! I love it - it sounds great and is very easy on the fingers. Sounds just as good when plugged in! Amazing!"
"Fabulous 12-string sound from this fella. Comfortable to play, beautiful to look at. No wonder this is my second Faith, probably won't be my last."
"Beautiful design with pure and elegant lines. Tone is sparkling, bright and liquid. Delicious range and depth across bass and treble. The naked appearance and sound are well beyond price range. Simply wonderful to play."
"its very very nice i love the simplistic style of the naked and is probably the best value acoustic you can buy today (this apples to the whole Naked series) could do with a pick guard to a plain wood one would be lovely"
"A beautifully crafted guitar that has sounds to match its looks."
"it's just wonderful"
"Stunning strumming, simple as (just as its made)"

"I love the look and feel of the guitar, it is my first guitar and more money than I wanted to spend on a first guitar but it was the best looking guitar (in my opinion) in the shop."
"It's just great. The FDS-Mini Saturn Nomad smaller series guitar is fabulous for playing when relaxing in an easy chair. A well made guitar with good sound and tone and appeal."
