The Blood Moon almost needs no introduction, becoming a legend in its own lifetime using one of Indonesia’s finest – but only more recently popularised – tonewoods: Trembesi. Debuted in 2017, both the Blood Moon Venus and Neptune models have excited the more adventurous guitarist ever since with their endless variation of beautiful grain patterns and sweet tonal delivery.

The Importance of Body Shape

The Importance of Body Shape

This Faith Neptune design is inspired by Patrick James Eggle's historic 'Saluda' body shape. With its 16" lower bout, we call this body-shape a ‘Baby-Jumbo’. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a powerful delivery without the physical bulk of a full-sized Jumbo. As with many Faith Neptune models, the Blood Moon Neptune features a cutaway, simply easing access to the upper frets. 

Which tonewoods are used and why?

Which tonewoods are used and why?

Trembesi wood has long been sought after by furniture manufacturers for its magnificent beauty and stunning variety of patterns, but we've more recently been persuaded of its tonal capabilities too. A good Trembesi instrument, like Hawaiian Koa, behaves similarly to Mahogany, offering warmth and balance throughout the strings but with the addition of a little more sparkle at the high-end.

How does it all come together?

How does it all come together?

This stunning guitar offers a visual treat for you and your audience, with compliments never far away. Whether unplugged or amplified, you’ll also discover an instrument that reliably delivers a balanced tone, perfect for singer-songwriters and strummers.

The special 'Blood Moon' burst finish is enhanced even further by solid flamed maple binding and Ebony fittings.  

The Electronics:

The Electronics:

Amplifying your BloodMoon is simple thanks to the Fishman INK3 preamp and sonicore pickup system. The undersaddle piezo pickup is controlled by a side-mounted, flush-fitting preamp with 3 band EQ and a built-in tuner. The output socket is mounted into the end of the guitar with an ingeniously integrated battery box and separate strap button.

A Faith Hardcase is included with every Faith Blood Moon guitar.

The Case:

The Case:

To ensure that your beautiful new instrument is well protected and cared for, your guitar is complete with a woodshell hard case, with padded plush interior. We do recommend that you keep your guitar in the hardcase whenever not in use, although quite why you wouldn't be playing it, we can't imagine!

    So far I am still getting used to it but I now intend to practice each day to get my fingers used to the slightly wider neck.
    Malcolm McDonnell -
    Love it
    ELAINE HOWE -
    Truly unique and beautiful design and exceptional craftmanship. Very strong position of value for money. Sounds lovely and great sustain. Natural chorus on chords when played loud and lovely zing on single notes and lead lines.
    Patrick Beullens -
    Beautiful very happy with it
    Philip Steers -
    Beautifully engineered with high quality material with a beautiful resonating sound.
    Robert McGarry -
    It's fantastic and beautiful! Love the sound and the appearance.
    Aric Antisdel -
    Beautiful looking and sounding acoustic guitar. By far my favourite guitar I have ever owned, it makes me want to pick it up and play every time I look at it.
    Owen Gallagher -
    Excellent guitar
    Stephen Thomas -
    First thing that draws you to the guitar are its looks, beautiful, you just have to try it. Great action, neck feels just the right width and thickness. Great tone on open chords, lower notes full but higher notes not quite as distinct. But so good to play.
    Pierre Giraud -
    My previous guitar was ok but after checking out several models via reviews I went for the Neptune Blood Moon Cutaway. This is simply another level. Beautiful both acoustically and aesthetically.
    Keith Ashbee -
    A very very fine guitar. Looks simply gorgeous and perfectly complements the Martins and Taylors I own, bringing something different and delightful to the table. Rich bass and lovely chiming treble. Beautifully set up, too - perfect neck angle, great nut action, 2.25mm action at 12th fret, and adequate saddle height for future adjustment.
    Alan Davis -
    Love it !!
    Sound and looks great and feels fantastic to play !
    Will Froggett -
    Beautiful but action is a little high
    Andy Downs -
    Amazing guitar! Absolutely stunning to look at, beautiful to play, and sounds better than some guitars that cost three times the price. Just buy one. NOW!
    Matthew Fryers -
    I?ve only owned it for about 11 days but it?s a beautiful guitar and has a nice sound. I?m not very experienced as a player but recently I decided to upgrade my instrument. I did a lot of research on Martin, Taylor, and Faith. In the end, I felt I was getting more guitar for the money with Faith, plus a beautiful guitar case!
    Justin Singmaster -
    This is absolutely a stunning guitar not only in the beautiful tone but it?s gorgeous looks to. I went to the store to just see if I liked the guitar with the view to buying it on payday, but I just couldn?t leave without it and bought it on the credit card. I consider myself very fortunate to have such a beautiful guitar.
    Mark Riches -
    Superb sound and super-shiny finish, i love this, my first guitar as a drummer! I put on a transparent strumming-protection, because in my opinion it protects from scraches. There are severals, from other guitar-friends -trying before buying-, maybe an adhesive foil could be nice for testing. Great Job!!
    Ralf Becker -
    Beautiful sound. Great feel. Best acoustic guitar I've ever had.
    Steve Brignull -
    So far so good - loved the look and the sound in the shop and only just picked it up but very positive so far.
    Sean Turner -
    beautiful guitar but few complaints. Finish wasn't buffed properly, prior to dispatch setup hasn't been done(neither signed) guitar is not in intonation.
    small scratched near fishman control. glue marks around the bridge.
    Bibek Joshi -
    Stunning, so far. Always been attracted to Faith blood moon series
    Phil Rogers -
    Fantastic instrument, that is a treasured possession.
    Simon Nix -
    Absolutely love it.
    Richard Jones -
    This is my third Faith guitar, and second Neptune - although the first was trade in for this one. I coveted the Blood Moons since they first came out, and really pleased I finally got hold of one. As expected, not as bright as the Sitka/Rosewood model, but just as loud and beautifully mellow. It was well set up, action maybe a touch higher than my Venus, but plays well. Only dropped a point as the figuring on top is as spectacular as some.
    Philip Collier -
    What a stunning instrument. For the price I don't think you'll find another instrument that offers the same value for money that faith do. The bloodmoon neptune sounds amazing, plays beautifully, and looks simply stunning! I couldn't recommend this instrument enough.
    CHRIS MCDOWELL -
    Fking da bomb! Better than my Fender Newporter!
    Johnny Worthington -
    Beautiful tone, beautiful finish, delightful to play.
    Chris Powell -
    I adore it. As soon as I strummed it for the 1st time, I knew I was taking it home. It's beautiful, sounds amazing, had been finished really well, set up perfectly, plays really nicely. I can't put it down, but when I do I can't stop looking at it. Just a gorgeous instrument in every way.
    Paul Underhay -
    Still new to me but a first inspection looks amazing
    Barry Wheatley -
    Having played many guitars over the last 20 years, I remain to be astounded with the quality:price ratio. My Blood Moon Neptune is every bit as good as my Martin which was considerably more expensive. We'll see how she matures but so far, so (very!) good! I tried another few Faiths in the shop too and was tempted to buy them all. Highly recommend picking one up, I dare you not to fall in love just a little bit.
    Raymond Hackland -
    Great Sound and Beautiful Instrument
    Orlando Rodriguez -
    GREAT GUITAR NICE SOUND NICE CASE
    BARRY CHALLIS -
    Comfortable and an appealing sound unplugged.
    viki kennedy -
    I'm really pleased with it, just getting used to transisitoning from a classical neck to this one is challenging
    Owen Rumney -
    Stunning looking guitar that sounds sweet and soulful. Exotic wood and craftsmanship set it apart from the crowd.
    Henry Hughes -
    Beautiful instrument. Looks great. Sounds amazing. Awesome instrument. Great investment
    Holly Louge -
    Outstanding quality and the most beautiful object i own
    Richard Self -
    Stunning looks and lovley playability straight out of the box. Good solid hard case was an unexpected bonus. This guitar outshines some bigger hitters in the acoustic market by some distance. Beautiful tone acoustically and the Fishman INK 3 preamp and pickup provides a beautifully enhance sound amplified. Cant fault this guitar
    Chris Welsh -
    Lovely rich tone and a great looking instrument.
    Francis Denning -
    Rich deep color with a beautiful feel and wonderful tone, couldn't resist buying it even though my standard of play does not justify it, but what the heck, it had to be bought.
    Dermod O'Malley -
    Unbelievable sound quality, mellow, smooth, and warm with beautiful colors and natural grain.

    One of the best guitars I've played and owned in years.
    Thank you
    Conrad King -
    I'm very happy with it!
    Neil Hobson -
    Pleasure to play easy on the fingers
    Jonathon Neale -
    I tried about a dozen guitars in store, and my choice came down to this or a Blue Moon Venus. Narrow win on slightly richer tone for this Blood Moon Neptune. Difficult to fault either on features, build or value given comparable from other brands were around 50% more.
    Si Emms -
    I just opened the case and it is stunning to look at! Tuned it real quick and it plays beautifully. Amazing so far!!
    DeWayne Henshaw -
    I have owned a FDS nomad mini Saturn electro acoustic for some years and have been more than pleased with the sound and the quality of build, and having recently sold my Gibson Les Paul I decided to check out the Venus and Neptune ranges of your fine guitars, upon playing the Blood Moon Neptune the guitar was sold before the first chord had stopped
    resonating and when it was plugged it sounded amazing. I fully intend to produce a YouTube review in the next few days and I cannot think of a negative thing to say including the helpful and knowledgeable staff at PMT Portsmouth, well done Faith Guitars you are in my opinion well and truly up there with to top manufacturers.
    Derrick Ince -
    Beautifully crafted with great tonality from the Tremesi wood and sustain from solid construction.
    Bobby McKnight -
    Best looking guitar I've ever seen.
    Plays well too
    Steve Lane-Ley -
    Looks beautiful.

    Deeper tones than the venus, which I love.

    Setup was just right.

    Sounds great
    Chris Myers -
    I love the tone of this guitar, as a new player, it gave me the encouragement to play more and practise more.
    Clodagh Midghall -
    Very happy! My second faith. Had to buy this one. My wife Acquired the first faith i purchased.
    Now we can play together again without getting jealous. One happy couple.
    Edward Randel -
    Excellent quality, easy to play, warm and rich sound.
    Nick Lumsden -
    very happy with my purchase
    anthony wood -
    Really amazed by the tone of this guitar & the fit & finish. Gorgeous wood color & top notch maple binding. May add a pickguard to protect the finish, but really pleased with this guitar!
    Christopher Howard -
    Absolutely beautiful to look at.
    Plays very nice fantastic tone although every things a bit tight because of it being new not had chance to try the electrics only tried the tuner which works a treat but all looks good quality and the hard case looks and feels top notch I really don't know how faith can produce these instruments at this price point I have a first addition twelve string Saturn so this is my second but it definitely won't be the last looking at a parlour now thank you Patrick
    David Hollands -
    Not only is the Faith Blood Moon one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. Its sounds amazing and to get a PJE designed all solid wood construction at this price is in my opinion epic value for money.
    Christopher Hale -
    Awesome
    Nathan Davies -
    An instrument of beauty. I cannot find anything bad to say about it. It looks as it sounds and sounds as it looks.
    Peter Mayers -
    Absolutely fantastic, it sounds so sweet.

    This is the 3rd Faith guitar in our household, all excellent
    Paul Copsey -
    Fantastic tone with or without amp, and a good looking guitar too! Love it!
    Roger Holder -
    After purchasing my 'Legacy Mars' just over a year ago I found my other guitar with cutaway wasn't so easy to use and so decided to purchase this Neptune to replace it. Now very happy with two 'Faiths'
    Bernard Sawkins -
    It looks and sounds great
    Derek Kirkpatrick -
    Amazing
