Small-scale powerhouses with a scale length of 590mm, Faith Nomad models are designed for those players who want and need to travel frequently with their guitar, but dont want to compromise on sound quality.

Faith Nomad guitars still use solid tonewoods for the top, back and sides of each instrument. ensuring the tonal richness for which Faith are known. And to finish the whole thing off, each Nomad guitar comes complete in a specially made gigbag.

Faith Nomad guitars are equipped with a Fishman Sonicore Pickup and Isys T preamp.

The importance of body shape:

Based upon the scaled-down dimensions of the Saturn dreadnought model, this Nomad Mini-Saturn is wonderfully comfortable and easy to play, sitting perfectly whether on the knee or equipped with a strap. It is the perfect travel companion whether you're off to the beach or festival, or perhaps just as an easy-to-grab guitar on the go. 

Which tonewoods are used and why?

The Nomad Mini-Saturn features solid Spruce on the Top and solid Indonesian Mahogany on its back and sides, both shown in their natural hues. Each Nomad instrument comes with a satin finish, allowing the wood to freely resonate, embracing any musical battle scars and festival memories with a sense of pride.

How does it all come together?

With the classic combination of Spruce and Mahogany in a smaller package, the baby-saturn is bright and zingy with lots of energy emanating from its smaller frame. But when amplified, its smaller dimensions are undetectable. The fittings of the Nomad guitars – fingerboard, headplate, bridge, etc – are still made of solid Ebony. So even though the guitar may be physically lightweight, the Nomad is far from light on quality.

The Electronics:

This Nomad is equipped with a Fishman Presys 1 preamp system and an undersaddle piezo pickup strip. This elegant solution is super easy to use, with an easy-to-read built-in tuner, contour EQ control, phase switch (to control any feedback on stage), and a volume knob. The output is located at the base of the guitar, integrated with the strap button. 

The Gigbag:

Your Faith Nomad guitar is supplied complete with a padded gigbag with handles, backstraps and an accessory pocket. It will even just about squeeze into most overhead lockers in airplanes too!
