Faith Acoustic Guitars are the choice of thousands of musicians around the world. Made from nothing but all-solid tonewoods, they sound great amplified or unplugged. Patrick James Eggle, a world-renowned Luthier and founder of Faith guitars, has been making guitars since he was 15 years old. Since then he has developed the Faith brand - an understated company who nonetheless produce fantastic quality instruments.
