Faith Saturn Left Handed Electro Acoustic (Pre-Owned)

Description

One of the orginal Faith Guitar acoustic shapes that launched the brand at the beginning of the 2000s, the Saturn is a square-shouldered dreadnought design which echoes the glorious historical design dating back to the early 1900s. However, although a very old design, the Saturn uses all the current Faith manufacturing techniques and Patrick James Eggle's luthier skills to ensure each guitar is built to modern standards.

The traditional body shape of the Saturn acoustic is available in its original guise, or in an electro acoustic cutaway version too, allowing easier access to the upper frets. Whichever version you choose, you can be confident that your Saturn will produce arguably the most balanced and easily recognisable tone in the guitar world. Bass, Mid and Treble response is pretty even across the spectrum, but with just enough mid-frequency bite to cut through an ensemble or band setting.

Repair Notes

Originally this guitar was right handed. The previous owner decided to make this into an electro acoustic and unfortunately cut the hole on the wrong side of the body!

We decided the best thing to do was to convert the guitar into a lefty. The pre amp hole was cut very badly so we've tidied that up as best we can with a 3d printed surround to hide most of the damage. The slot for the saddle has also been plugged and re routed for the correct angle and a new nut installed. Finally a new under saddle pickup and pre amp system had been installed.

Condition - Good

An item in good condition will have more noticeable signs of wear and tear, including scratches, dings, and possibly some rust or discolouration. It will still work well and sound good, but may require some minor repairs or adjustments.
