NAMM 2020: (opens in new tab) Faith Guitars have another first to unveil with a baritone guitar, following the recent announcement of the British company's debut nylon-string acoustic, the Lyra (opens in new tab). 

Its body shape is based on a Faith favourite, the the baby-jumbo Neptune. The HiGloss Neptune Baritone (£1,099) features a 680mm scale length for tuning to lower registers and features an Englemann spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides and flamed maple binding.

The fingerboard, bridge, headstock plate and heelcap are Macassan ebony.

This electro model is fitted with the Fishman INK3 preamp system that features an onboard chromatic tuner, three-band EQ and volume control. The under-saddle piezo pickup is Fishman's Sonicore.
