Iconic body

This traditional parlour inspired body led Faith to release their Mercury shape, offering incredibly easy and comfortable playability. Additionally, its compact size provides comfort throughout both seated and standing performance, while a comfort-contour offers enhanced playability higher up the fingerboard. This model also has a 12th fret neck join with lower string tension and a shifted bridge, which together all add to its easy playability with an acoustic voice that belies its size. The overall tone produced is particularly well-suited to a wide variety of picking techniques whilst also accommodating old school blues, roots music, and slide techniques.

Sculpted for perfection

The Faith Mercury Electro Acoustic features a solid red cedar top that is well-respected for its stunning response to a lighter touch, perfect for the fingerpicking enthusiast. This top produces a sweet, dark, and complex tone with excellent bass response and rich harmonics. It has been attached to solid mahogany back and sides, which add warmth, resonance, and plenty of emphasis to the bass and trebles, providing the player with a rich, full-bodied sound that is ideal for folk, country, and much more. The overall tone adds emphasis on the lower-mids with a wonderfully-warm vocal nature.

Stunning tonewoods

With a neck constructed from mahogany, the player receives a quick and dynamic response with plenty of warmth and resonance. Its nature allows it to respond superbly to numerous playing styles and techniques with ease, perfect for getting creative and unleashing true potential. In addition, the neck features Patrick James Eggle's bolt-on design for added strength and durability. It has been topped with a Macassan figured ebony fingerboard that adds ringing sustain, plenty of bite and a bright sizzle to the guitar's overall tone. For added aesthetic appeal, the fingerboard also features Faith's majestic 'F' logo placed on the 12th fret and inlaid in mother of pearl for an elegant look.

Ready for stage and studio

In order to further enhance this model, it has been equipped with a discreet Fishman Sonitone preamp that is subtly mounted within the sound hole, which offers basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal settings. In addition, the preamp is versatile and responsive which allows it to project each stunning nuance purely and beautifully. The sound hole mounted preamp offers volume and tone control to shape the amplified sound by simply plugging in to an amplifier or PA system, perfect for the performing musician.
