Faith Classic Burst Mars Electro FRESB45 - electro-acoustic guitar

Faith Classic Burst Mars Electro FRESB45 is an electro-acoustic guitar from the Classic Burst , designed for guitarists seeking a classic, warm, and deep tone in a traditional drop-shoulder dreadnought.This model features a solid cedar top, solid mahogany back and sides, and a wide nut 45 mm , and discreet electronics Fishman Sonitone , making it ideal for both acoustic playing and when plugged into a PA system.

This is an instrument with a distinctly vintage character: warm, full-bodied, deep, and very musical.The Mars body is inspired by the historic drop-shoulder dreadnought shape, prized for its high volume, classic look, and wide range of applications in acoustic music.

Mars Body - a classic dreadnought in a more traditional style

Shape Mars is an interpretation of the classic drop-shoulder dreadnought —a form that, since the early 20th century, has been associated with a powerful, full sound and acoustic tradition.Compared to smaller bodies, the Mars offers greater volume, a more powerful low end, and a more pronounced projection, making it ideal for accompaniment, chord playing, fingerpicking, and classic singer-songwriter styles.

Version FRESB45 features a neck-to-body joint at the 12th fret , which further enhances the depth and richness of the sound.Wider saddle 45 mm provides more space between the strings at the headstock, which is why this model is particularly well-suited for fingerstyle guitarists and those who prefer a more traditional playing feel.

Solid cedar and solid mahogany—warmth, depth, and a vocal midrange

The top panel is made of solid cedar, and the back and sides are made of solid mahogany.This combination produces a rich, warm, and very organic sound.Cedar is less rigid than spruce, so it responds softly and quickly, offering a gentler attack and a naturally warmer tone.When paired with mahogany and the Mars’s large body, the result is a sound focused on the lower midrange, with a creamy, full, and “vocal” character.

This configuration works well for fingerpicking, blues, folk, country, ballads, vocal accompaniment, and all styles in which the guitar is meant to sound natural, warm, and deep, without excessive harshness in the high frequencies.

Classic Burst - a timeless finish

Series Classic Burst stands out with its elegant, three-color burst finish, featuring deep browns, reds, and amber tones.The look is intentionally understated and traditional—the guitar has a classic, sophisticated, and very stage-ready appearance, without any overly modern styling.

The entire instrument is finished with , and the dark-stained mahogany back complements the solid ebony binding and Macassan ebony accents.This combination gives the instrument a sophisticated, vintage look with a distinct premium feel.

Fishman Sonitone Discrete Electronics

The Faith FRESB45 is equipped with a Fishman Sonitone with a piezo pickup under the saddle.The volume and tone controls are located along the edge of the sound hole, ensuring that the electronics remain very discreet and do not detract from the instrument’s classic aesthetic.

This is a great solution for guitarists who want to keep their guitar looking as traditional as possible, but also need an instrument that's ready to be used with a pickup, an acoustic amplifier, or a PA system.

Case included

The set includes a hard case with a softly padded interior , which protects the instrument during transport, storage, and everyday use.For a guitar made of solid wood, this is a particularly important part of the setup, especially for musicians who regularly travel to rehearsals, concerts, or recording sessions.
