From March 2009, we are pleased to announce that not only will all NEW (FEC*) Faith Eclipse models be complete in a Faith Deluxe Hardcase, but they will also be ALL solid timber.

The outgoing Eclipse models (FE*)were equipped with laminate mahogany back and sides, as this was suitable for heavy stage work, plus it also kept the price a little lower. However, after much hard work, we are now able to release the NEW ALL SOLID Eclipse models (FEC*). These have the same ALL SOLID top, back and sides as the Natural Series - which have proven themselves to be great performers on and off stage - but with the gloss black finish unique to the eclipse models... and they’ll come in a Hardcase. See the NEW 2009 Eclipse models here.

There will doubtless be a fair number of outgoing model (FE*) series Eclipse guitars in stores right now, and these sound as great as they have always done, but in the next few months you will see the all solid(FEC*) models in your local store.

The simple way to tell the difference is:
If it’s in a gigbag, then it’s an FE* model. If it’s in a Hardcase, then it’s an ALL SOLID FEC* model.

Prices
From April 2009, you will also notice that the prices of all Faith Guitars will rise. This is because of the weakness of the GBP£ against the USD$, and it is something that has already affected 99% of all guitar brands available in the UK. This price rise will not affect FE* models, but will be evident on the new FEC* models, as well as current Natural and HiGloss models.
This price information is only relevant in the UK. Each international market will release its own price update information.
