Never Underestimate Musical Belief.
Ben Daughtry of South West musical phenomenon, NUMB, is another of the growing number of rising stars using Faith Guitars.
Ben plays a number of Series 1 Eclipse guitars, plus a Series 2 Eclipse Jupiter and a Series 2 Natural Venus.
when he recieved his recent additions he commented "The resonance that both guitars produce is outstanding and the live sound from the eclipse is great. Picking up the Natural is like finding a perfect smooth pebble on the beach, a connection I will enjoy time and time again..." Sounds like he's pleased to me.
N.U.M.B (Never Underestimate Musical Belief) formed in late 2006, and have already been chosen for the final 30 in the O2 undiscovered unsigned competition.
