Faith Guitars FDS Nomad Mini-Saturn with Gig Bag
Product no: 9000-0056-9726 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

If you're in love with the sound of a dreadnought but wished it was just a little bit smaller, then Faith Guitars have literally made the compact FDS Nomad Mini-Saturn to solve all your problems. This slimmer-than-average model is perfect for shorter limbs, smaller postures and can even serve as a travel guitar. The all-solid construction and nubone string-nut and saddle help frame a fully resonant acoustic sound and its the spruce top that does a lot of the tonal work, while mahogany back and sides add shimmering overtones and an ebony fretboard maintains presence. All of this is amplified by a fitted Isys T preamp and Sonicore piëzo pickup, both of which have been provided by the eminent Fishman.
