THIS PROMOTION HAS NOW ENDED. VARIOUS UK STORES MAY STILL BE RUNNING THE PROMOTION, BUT THE OFFICIAL DEADLINE HAS PASSED.
GET SOLID with Faith Guitars – with a guaranteed extra £50 in Part-Exchange for your old guitar! Lose the laminate by trading-in your existing guitar for a SOLID Faith Natural or Eclipse Series.
NB: GET SOLID is currently a UK ONLY offer. Please contact your individual market's distributor for information regarding offers available locally.
So, what’s the deal?
Part-Exchange your old guitar for a SOLID Faith Natural or Eclipse Series - at participating retailers - and we'll guarantee an extra £50 on top of the Part-Ex value of your guitar.
Example:
Your guitar originally cost you £100.
In part exchange for a Faith Natural or Eclipse Series Guitar, you may be offered £30 by the retailer.
You can take that £30 and the retailer will add the Faith GET SOLID £50 Trade-In Bonus.... so you will actually get £80 in part-exchange (£30 + £50)
Of course, guitars with a higher value will attract higher trade in prices in the first place.
Easy as that!
What’s all this Laminate / Solid Wood about?
Laminate Plywoods are widely used in the manufacture of many lower price instruments – because the cost of the material is normally lower. However, even though laminate wood can be made to look nice on the outside, all it consists of is a thin layer of real wood on both sides of some plywood.
Therefore, when dealing with an instrument that depends on wood to create its actual sound, you cannot expect plywood to move and resonate like real SOLID wood.
Faith Natural series guitars have not only SOLID Spruce Tops, but also have SOLID Mahogany on the back and sides. Patrick James Eggle – the British Luthier behind Faith Guitars – explains that SOLID Spruce and SOLID Mahogany are a classic combination.
“The SOLID Spruce top is always a winner, as the wood imbues a bright, zingy punch to the tone of the instrument. When it’s matched with SOLID Mahogany, the tone is controlled very nicely. The two woods work off each other with the Spruce giving the clarity, yet the Mahogany adding extra warmth ”.
Faith Eclipse series are designed as work-horse stage guitars and have a SOLID Spruce Top that guarantees that special tone, plus a special Shadow SHT-Pro stage preamp system with built in tuner.
Like a fine wine, SOLID wood construction means that the wood used on your guitar will mature and gradually find its own individual voice – something that can never be said about all-plywood instruments.
