Stunning Resonance with Sparkling Highs

If you've played a solid Spruce and Rosewood guitar before, you'll already know why this combination is one of the guitar world's most sought after. The marriage of two stiff, resonant woods creates an instrument with lots of articulate low-end and loads of crisp, sparkly high-end. Plus, you may have noticed that the back of the HiGloss guitars are made of 3 pieces of Rosewood. Often seen as an expensive upgrade by many makers, the reality is that it allows our luthiers to use slightly smaller pieces of valuable rosewood, many of which would have otherwise gone to waste. This makes each Faith HiGloss guitar a little more sustainable and ensures that the managed Indonesian Rosewood plantations are harvested just a little more slowly too.

Which tonewoods are used and why?

Which tonewoods are used and why?

HiGlossguitars feature premium qualitySolid Engelmann Spruce for the top soundboard; whilst on the back and sides, the beautifully figured, 3-piece Indonesian Rosewood is bound in Flamed Maple to the front and back; and for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate, and heelcap you’ll find our favourite premium hardwood, Indonesian Ebony.

How does it all come together?

How does it all come together?

The pairing of Spruce and Rosewood tonewoods has been popular for decades as together they produce a that classic tone with sparkling highs, rich bass notes and fabulous articulationacross the spectrum.

When you are ready to amplify your HiGloss guitar, under the saddle you'll find aFishman S-core piezo pickup, which is part of the Fishman INK3 preamp system. The near flush-mounted preamp has a chromatic tuner, a three-band EQ, and a volume knob and the output socket is cleverly built into the bottom of the instrument, making it extremely easy to change the battery.
