New for 2017, the Neptune Blood Moon is a beautiful instrument which uses only the finest, highly figured Japanese Trembesi for the top, back and sides. This indigenous Indonesian timber has long been used by furniture makers for its stunning appearance, but we have been convinced of its tonal properties for a good while too. Not unlike Hawaiian Koa, a solid Trembesi instrument reacts in a similar way to Mahogany, delivering warmth and balance across the strings, while still having a little rosewood-eque sparkle at the top end. The exclusive 'Blood Moon' burst finish and solid flamed maple binding serves to enhance its stunning appearance further.

This model will be available only when sufficiently high-grade Trembesi is available to the workshops. This Faith Neptune model is based upon Patrick James Eggle's highly acclaimed 'Saluda' shape. A Baby-Jumbo size with a 16" lower bout, the Neptune is the perfect model for those seeking acoustic power without the physical bulk of a full-sized Jumbo.
