Iconic body

This model shares many of the same geometric characteristics as Faith's iconic Venus body but offers a distinguished set of features that provide the player with a unique palette of sonic characteristics. It projects a well-balanced and defined sound with great volume and projection, accommodating a wide variety of genres and techniques with ease while being equally suited to both lighter, articulate picking styles and meaty chord progressions.

This eye-catching instrument offers a comfortable playing experience via its 15'' lower bout that is flattened at the base with a shallow body width, perfect for the player needing a mid-sized guitar. For added comfort, the Faith Legacy Earth features a venetian cutaway profile, providing easy access to upper frets and more challenging chords.

Sculpted for perfection

This model features a torrefied Canadian sitka spruce top which not only offers an authentic aesthetic appeal, but adds a rich, mellow, and matured voice to the guitar's overall sound. It yields crisp articulation and delivers a broad dynamic range, perfect for the player craving versatility. Sitka's versatile nature also offers a superb response to a variety of genres and techniques with ease, accommodating fingerpicking to meaty chords with equal ease.

This model also features African khaya mahogany back and sides which produce a woody, warm tonal character with a focused mid-range. It is also slightly stiffer than other species, resulting in an expanded frequency response and heightened production over overtones. The overall tone produced is warm, resonant, and versatile, accommodating numerous genres and techniques with equal ease.

Stunning tonewoods

With a neck constructed from mahogany, the Legacy offers a quick and dynamic response with plenty of warmth and resonance. Its nature allows it to respond superbly to numerous playing styles and techniques with ease, perfect for getting creative and unleashing true potential. The neck has been topped with a Macassan figured ebony fingerboard that adds ringing sustain, plenty of bite and a bright sizzle to the guitar's overall tone. For added aesthetic appeal, the fingerboard also features Faith's majestic 'F' logo placed on the 12th fret and inlaid in mother of pearl for an elegant look.

Ready for stage and studio

This model comes fitted with an undersaddle pickup and a small condenser mic, which captures the guitar's voice in a clear and pure manner, perfect for the performing musician. This sound then runs through to a respectable Fishman Flex Blend preamp system, offering tone shaping controls within an elegant and easy-to-use design. The Legacy also features a volume control which can be set to its highest volume without causing undesirable feedback and distortion. Its innovative one-knob tone control enables the player to choose between a natural and an undersaddle sound with no EQ, as well as a more scooped tone with emphasis on the bass and treble.

The player can also turn the tone control fully-clockwise for added depth and clarity to the amplified sound, perfect for more aggressive strumming patterns. By pushing-in the tone knob the player is able to improve bass response at a lower volume while being able to suppress feedback at a higher volume. The Fishman Flex also has a blend control for combining the desired level of mic signal to the pickup whole a convenient on-board chromatic tuner provides precise and easy tuning on-the-go.
