Here for sale we have a Faith Naked Series Saturn Dreadnought acoustic guitar in Natural Satin finish. Made in Indonesia in 2009, this guitar features an all-solid bolt-on construction comprising an Engelmann Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Macassar Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. This guitar is fitted with a TUSQ saddle and nut as well as a set of Gold Grover Rotomatic tuning machines with Ebony buttons.
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, whilst the cutaway enhances access to the upper register, really opening up the full range of the instrument. The Macassar 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 Series Saturn is rich and well balanced thanks to solid wood choices this instrument features, ensuring that this guitar resonates beautifully, adding a real depth 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.
