Rated 5.0 out of 5
The importance of body shape:
Based upon the scaled-down dimensions of the Saturn dreadnought model, this Nomad Mini-Saturn is wonderfully comfortable and easy to play, sitting perfectly whether on the knee or equipped with a strap. It is the perfect travel companion whether you're off to the beach or festival, or perhaps just as an easy-to-grab guitar on the go.
Which tonewoods are used and why?
The Nomad Mini-Saturn features solid Spruce on the Top and solid Indonesian Mahogany on its back and sides, both shown in their natural hues. Each Nomad instrument comes with a satin finish, allowing the wood to freely resonate, embracing any musical battle scars and festival memories with a sense of pride.
How does it all come together?
With the classic combination of Spruce and Mahogany in a smaller package, the baby-saturn is bright and zingy with lots of energy emanating from its smaller frame. But when amplified, its smaller dimensions are undetectable. The fittings of the Nomad guitars – fingerboard, headplate, bridge, etc – are still made of solid Ebony. So even though the guitar may be physically lightweight, the Nomad is far from light on quality.
The Electronics:
This Nomad is equipped with a Fishman Presys 1 preamp system and an undersaddle piezo pickup strip. This elegant solution is super easy to use, with an easy-to-read built-in tuner, contour EQ control, phase switch (to control any feedback on stage), and a volume knob. The output is located at the base of the guitar, integrated with the strap button.
The Gigbag:
Your Faith Nomad guitar is supplied complete with a padded gigbag with handles, backstraps and an accessory pocket. It will even just about squeeze into most overhead lockers in airplanes too!
