Great interview. Not all the usual questions. Also great that James naturally explained any technical jargon he used, allowing all levels of guitar lovers to understand and enjoy what he was talking about.
I've got the Blood Moon Neptune. Absolutely beautiful in every respect. My band mates in our praise and worship band play Taylors and Martins. They were blown away by the Faith! I've bought and sold many guitars, but this one is staying put!!
I live in Illinois, I bought a Faith legacy. I primarily played Martin and Taylor… I’ve converted to faith, it’s really the obvious choice. I wish we had more retailers here In the states
I remember playing a Tony Iommi Patrick Eggle guitar at a guitar show when I was a kid. Nearly bought that guitar, it played amazingly and the neck was so thick!
Hello PMT, it’s funny I commented 2 months ago lol Is it posible to request that you guys do a comparison between the different ranges of faith guitars? I would love to hear a Faith Mars with mahogany back and sides (Burst or Legacy) vs a Faith Naked Saturn and so on. Maybe putting a Faith hi-gloss Venus vs a Faith Blood moon Venus to hear to have some tonal compassion. I mentioned in my last comment that I love faith, I’d really love to own more of their guitars but would like to hear the distinct sound of some of their different models. I think this would help viewers get a better picture for which ones would fit better for what they’re looking for.
I made a sort of Tele, following the instructions in a book by Melvyn Hiscox. It looked rubbish but played surprisingly well. Eventually the neck shrank, and I sold it. One of my relatives works at Barnes and Mullins in Oswestry, and I think it's a good company. Faith guitars look very good.
I love almost all respect for a guitar builder the minute they mention China or Indonesia... everyone wants to pretend they're ignorant to the reasons why labor is more affordable there, but when you ask them "why do you think that is?" they almost always manage to connect the dots that these countries don't protect their workers or the environment. The reason the labor is cheaper is because the employers don't have to pay for workers comp insurance, garbage disposal companies can dump right into the ocean... and so anyone making guitars that feels its worth makin cheaper guitars at the expense of desperate and marginalized peoples safety, along with a detriment to the environment, isn't anyone who's going to garner my respect. The method matters as much as the product itself, and sustainability is the word of the day... pollution of our oceans and glorified slave labor isn't sustainable.

PJE is a proper, British engineer. A very clever man who has built some world-class stuff.

I got my first Faith in 2008 and love it to death, I have 3 of 'em now.
Have a faith guitar and love it!
