USED - Faith FMEHG-BNC - HiGloss Mercury Electro

This Mercury guitar has been pre-owned but is in great condition. A hard case is included. As a traditional short-scale parlour model, it joins the body at the 12th fret rather than the 14th, producing a lower string tension. Furthermore, the bridge is shifted closer to the soundhole. These features assist with playability, resulting in a sound bigger than expected and ease of portability.

 

Faith HiGloss series are designed to offer both visual and aural beauty. Using high grade Englemann Spruce for the top and highly-figured Rosewood for the back and sides, HiGloss models feature solid Flamed Maple binding and Macassan Ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap.

Tonally, this combination of wood is generally bright and 'zingy', delivering great clarity. Visualising this as a frequency curve, it would be shaped like a smile: high on the bass, dipping down through the middle and rising once again at the top end, lending itself to fingerstyle and solo pieces in particular.
