Faith - FKM - Naked Mercury
A little beautyThis Faith Naked Mercury guitar is a traditional short-scale parlour model. With the neck joining the body at the 12th fret, instead of the 14th - the strings are held at a slightly lower tension than on regular models. Another implication of the 12th fret join is that the bridge is shifted further from the soundhole. These features result in a guitar that is much easier to play, sounds much larger than you would imagine, whilst easy to handle and transport.
In keeping with all other Faith series - the Spruce top and Mahogany body of each of the Faith Naked instruments is 100% solid tonewood. However, the cosmetics and non-essential dressing has been stripped away, leaving the guitars in their natural, Naked state. With a satin finish 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. A padded Faith gigbag is also included.
