Faith Classic Burst Series Mercury E Scoop: Small-Bodied Parlour with Modern Elegance and Commanding Voice

The Faith Classic Burst Series Mercury E Scoop is a stunning piece of acoustic design, offering a traditional short-scale parlour model that redefines small-body performance. By joining the neck to the body at the 12th fret rather than the standard 14th fret, the strings are kept at a slightly lower, more forgiving tension. This 12th-fret join also shifts the bridge further down from the soundhole, completely optimizing the soundboard’s resonance. These calculated engineering details result in a guitar that is physically effortless to play, highly portable to transport, and projects a remarkably larger, richer acoustic voice than its compact proportions suggest. Beautifully dressed in a gloss-lacquered three-tone burst composed of deep browns, reds, and amber, this instrument delivers an understated elegance that is a personal favorite of designer Patrick James Eggle.

Key Features

• Premium Cedar & Mahogany Tonewood Combination: Utilizing the signature blend of a solid Red Cedar top paired with solid Mahogany back and sides, Classic Burst models sound just as rich and warm as they look. This combination emphasizes the lower-midrange frequencies, imparting a beautifully warm, expressive, and vocal-like character to your performance.
• 12th-Fret Neck Joint for Enhanced Playability & Resonace: The short-scale neck design together with the 12th-fret joint slashes string tension for a super comfortable, supple fretting experience. Repositioning the bridge deeper into the wider sweet spot of the top plate allows the guitar to achieve immense volume and bass projection despite its parlour size.
• Elite Macassan Ebony Appointments: Premium craftsmanship shines through with the inclusion of solid Macassan Ebony for the body bindings. This same high-grade timber is explicitly chosen for the fingerboards, headplates, heelplates, bridges, and bridge pins, ensuring rock-solid structural integrity and excellent tonal transfer.
• Robust Protection with Premium Faith Hardcase: To safeguard its high-end solid tonewoods from the rigors of travel and fluctuating humidity, every Faith Classic Burst guitar comes complete with a custom-fitted, plush-lined Faith Hardcase for maximum security.
