SOLD: Faith PJE Legacy Neptune Baby Jumbo Electro Acoustic with Fishman Flex Blend & Hard Case £750 Maidstone, Kent

[Marvin_]

Faith Patrick James Eggle PJE Legacy Neptune Baby Jumbo Electro Acoustic with Faith hard case. Lovely all-solid wood (spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck) acoustic with Fishman's Flex Blend Acoustic Pre-Amp with condenser microphone and piezo combo, for a much more natural recorded sound than a plain piezo setup. It also has a hard to find 45mm nut width, rather than the more typical 43mm. Much nicer for those with larger hands.

 

Condition is excellent, a couple of small scratches on the headstock and one or two pick marks on the body (impossible to photo - only seen with the light in exactly the right place). It's had home use only and I've kept it in its case with the D'Addario pro humidification system.

 

Postage is possible, fully insured via UPS at £37.03. I am more than happy for the buyer to collect, and can deliver locally or meet mid-way.

 

Oh, and the case lining isn't that pink in person! It's definitely red, but my phone camera seems to have had a right old time with it. The guitar is actually the right colour though!

 

This is what Faith say about the Legacy Neptune:

"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. 

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 our history – each guitar has a solid Figured Ebony pickguard.

This Faith Neptune model is 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."
