Faith Naked Series Mercury Parlour Acoustic Guitar

Faith Naked Series Mercury Parlour Acoustic Guitar

The aptly named Faith Naked Mercury comes from Faith stripping away non-essential dressing and cosmetics, which leaves the guitar in its completely natural state. The Naked Mercury is a beautifully designed and well-crafted instrument that features some simple, yet effective decorative features. These decorative features include an "F" Faith logo situated on the 12th fret, abalone rosette and mother of peal inlays, all providing a truly stunning aesthetic appeal. The abalone sound-hole rosette glistens beautifully against both stage and natural lighting, and Faith's signature brand logo graces headstock, inlaid in mother of pearl for added elegance. The Naked Mercury will certainly shine bright on any stage.

A solid Engelmann spruce top offers strong, rich overtones and versatility. Engelmann spruce is lighter in weight and less stiff than Sitka spruce, allowing the top to vibrate more. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright singing highs. The Engelmann spruce top is accompanied by solid mahogany back and sides which produces distinct character of soft warmth with plenty of depth and complexity that will please most playing styles.

The mercury's neck is constructed from mahogany, offering great durability and resonance. The reason why many guitar necks are crafted from mahogany is because the wood responds really well to picking, strumming, and various finger techniques with equal ease. The neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard that delivers a very responsive, bright, snappy and crisp attack coupled with a smooth sustain. The Mercury's traditional short-scale parlour body size is incredibly comfortable to play, has a much bigger tone than its physical size suggests, and is much easier to handle and transport. This makes the Mercury a great choice for not just parlour lovers, but also travellers who want a larger tone compared to a mini acoustic, or younger players.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Faith Naked Series Mercury Parlour Acoustic Guitar with Gig Bag is perfect for anyone who wants a stripped-back, no-nonsense traditional parlour, with all-solid tonewoods, at an affordable price.
