Faith Naked Neptune Electro FKNE - electro-acoustic guitar

Faith Naked Neptune Electro FKNE is an electro-acoustic guitar from the Naked , designed for guitarists seeking a natural, powerful, and dynamic sound in a larger . The Neptune is based on a shape inspired by Patrick James Eggle’s “Saluda” design and offers greater projection, a fuller low end, and a more pronounced presence than smaller acoustic bodies.

The guitar is made of solid Engelmann spruce for the top and solid Indonesian mahogany for the back and sides.This classic combination of woods offers a wide frequency range, good articulation, and a natural balance: spruce brings dynamism, brightness, and resonance, while mahogany adds warmth, a mellower character, and a musical midrange.The manufacturer describes this model as a “naturally powerful instrument” with a wide tonal range and excellent articulation.

Neptune Body - All the Power of the Baby-Jumbo Format

Shape Neptune is an original interpretation of the Baby-Jumbo . The lower part of the body is 16" , giving the instrument a large acoustic volume and powerful projection, while remaining more comfortable than full-size 17" Jumbo guitars. In this non-cutaway version, the Neptune retains its full, classic body shape, which further enhances the depth, volume, and richness of its tone.

This is a guitar for people who need an instrument with a more robust character: for vocal accompaniment, playing with a pick, dynamic strumming, folk, country, acoustic rock, worship, blues, and singer-songwriter music in the broadest sense.A larger body fills the space well and provides a solid foundation for a soloist or a band.

Solid Engelmann spruce and solid mahogany

Top panel made of solid Engelmann spruce provides a springy attack, clarity, good dynamics, and a lively response to articulation.This wood works well for both lighter fingerstyle playing and heavier chord playing with a pick.

Back and sides made of solid mahogany add warmth, focus, and natural midrange to the sound.As a result, the FKNE isn't just loud and full-bodied—it also retains its musicality and clarity.The manufacturer emphasizes that the combination of spruce and mahogany has remained one of the most tried-and-true formulas in acoustic guitars for decades: the resonance of spruce complements the warmer, mellower character of mahogany.

The Naked Series—simplicity, resonance, and natural character

Series Naked was designed as a more minimalist and straightforward version of the Faith line.Instruments in this series do away with excessive embellishments, focusing instead on the most important elements: solid wood construction, playing comfort, responsiveness, and natural tone.

The entire instrument is finished in a two-stage satin finish , which allows the solid wood to expand and contract freely and resonate without heavy layers of varnish.In practice, this results in a more open, dynamic, and lively sound, and over time, the guitar develops its own unique character that comes from regular playing.The manufacturer notes that the satin finish allows the all-solid tonewood to resonate more freely than thick layers of varnish.

Natural aesthetics and ebony details

Faith Naked Neptune Electro preserves the natural colors and grain of the wood.As a result, the instrument has a simple, organic, and timeless look.There’s no excess of decoration here—the aesthetic stems primarily from the real wood, the satin finish, and the proportions of the larger Neptune cabinet.

The fingerboard, bridge, and bridge pins are made of Indonesian ebony , and on the 12th.On the threshold is a distinctive Faith marker shaped like the letter F made of mother-of-pearl.The look is completed by chrome-plated keys Faith Precision Chrome , a rosette with abalone , and NuBone components in the saddle and stem.

Fishman Presys 1 Electronics

The Faith FKNE is equipped with the Fishman Presys 1 with a Fishman Sonicore under the saddle.The preamp features volume control, contour control, a phase switch, and a built-in tuner, making the guitar ready for stage use, rehearsals, recordings, and live performances.

The phase switch helps reduce feedback on stage, and the tuner makes it easy to tune quickly without needing an additional device.The jack output is integrated into the strap clip, and a separate battery compartment makes it easy to replace the battery during everyday use.

Cover included

The set includes a padded case with handles, shoulder straps, and a pocket for accessories.This is a practical solution for transporting your instrument on a daily basis to lessons, rehearsals, jam sessions, or smaller performances.The manufacturer also notes that a hard case can be purchased separately when intensive concert use requires additional protection.
