New upgraded Eclipse Series from Faith Guitars
Faith Guitars is delighted to announce the release of upgraded models in its much-loved Eclipse Series. Designed as the ultimate "stage guitars," with workhorse reliability and maximum performance capability, Faith Eclipse electro-acoustic guitars combine a classic blend of solid spruce tops with solid mahogany back and sides to ensure a superb sound, with an ideal blend of presence and full-bodied tone.
The reimagined Eclipse guitars feature upgraded onboard electronics with Fishman’s revolutionary INK BODY preamp system. Carefully selected to enhance amplified performance, this system combines the clarity of a traditional undersaddle piezo pickup with the tonal richness of a body sensor. This not only elevates the amplified sound to incredible new heights but also allows for greater note expression whether playing chords or complex fingerstyle pieces.
A ‘body’ control on the discreet Fishman preamp fascia enables players to intuitively dial in the bridge-plate mounted sensor alongside the piezo, under-saddle pickup, offering greater control over the level of body-derived tone or percussion in the mix.

Bringing the "Eclipse" name to life, Faith has introduced, for the first time in its history, a beautiful, figured maple ergonomic forearm contour on all new Eclipse guitars. Designed to maximise comfort and playability both onstage and at home, the maple arm contour is matched by stunning figured maple binding.
The onyx-black finish, covered with a carefully applied clear lacquer, helps to tame the tonewood’s natural resonance, producing a reassuringly balanced and focused tone when amplified.
In line with Faith’s commitment to ethical and sustainable manufacturing, the new Eclipse guitars are free from all animal products: traditional abalone and mother-of-pearl rosette and logo materials have been replaced with beautifully figured maple.
Additional premium features include Grover Rotomatic machine heads and Macassan figured ebony fittings. As with all Faith Guitars, for every guitar sold, Faith plants trees with "JustOneTree."
