General

The Saturn is an original Faith Guitar design from their Naked Series. This dependable, square-shouldered dreadnought immediately feels like an old friend. As part of the Naked Series, the finery is kept to a minimum, creating a modest and subtle guitar with a pure, natural look and a satin gloss finish that allows the wood to resonate without restriction, giving this guitar the sound you would expect from a model at twice the price.

Naked Saturn Electro-Acoustic with Engelmann Spruce

The Naked Saturn has an entirely solid, high-quality wood construction topped with luxurious Engelmann spruce, loved for its mature sound and the presence and clarity of the midrange. Combined with the solid mahogany sides and back, this is guitar is built to deliver a wide range of decadent sounds. Both the bridge and fingerboard have been made using high-density ebony to enhance clear and bright accents and pick out the detail and dynamics of your playing.

Acoustic and Amplified

The Faith Guitars Naked Saturn Electro is fitted with a Fishman pre-amplifier and built-in pickup, so the Saturn can be easily connected to an acoustic amp or audio interface. Components developed by the renowned Fishman have been used and deliver faithful and excellent signal transmission. Even without amplification you can count on a delicious sound since the X-bracing vocal bar structure of the sound box has been made using quarter-sawn spruce and was specially designed by the staggeringly experienced guitar builder, Patrick James Eggle. It's precisely these kinds of details that distinguish Faith Guitars.
