A totally new guitar, an upgraded Nexus Series and an international debut – here’s what Faith Guitars has launched at NAMM 2026
Faith has landed at this year’s NAMM Show, unveiling the brand-new PJE Legacy FG4 Earth Satin Sunburst, while also upgrading its Nexus Series – and finally allowing its updated FX Series to make its international debut.
Firstly, the new FG4 model comes as the latest instalment in Faith’s PJE Legacy Series. The line honours the acoustic body shapes of iconic luthier Patrick James Eggle, with previous editions coming in the form of the PJE Legacy Mars’ drop-shoulder dreadnought, in honour of the PJE Kanuga as well as PJE Legacy Earth’s orchestral model reminiscent of the PJE Linville.

Priced at £1,565, the PJE Legacy FG4 takes on the same shape as the PJE Legacy Earth, and is comprised of a solid torrefied sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides. Not only is it designed for warm low-ends and a rich midrange, the top has even undergone a round of “torrefaction” to essentially roast it. This process apparently improves its structural stability, as well as enhancing its tonal character.

NAMM attendees will be able to get a hands-on experience of the Faith’s new axe, as well as getting a cheeky look at Faith’s upgraded Nexus Series. The upgrades vary from more surface-level visual tweaks to refined playability.
Visually, Faith has made its Nexus line more cohesive. The Nexus Copper Black in particular has been renamed to the Thru-Black, with its new name falling in line with the Nexus Thru-Cognac. Both the Thru- models also now feature the same black ABS body, fingerboard and headstock binding and figured ebony pickguard as the Nexus Venus Solar Flare and Nexus Neptune Coffee Brown.
In terms of playability improvements, all Nexus Neptune models will also now include a cutaway in order to improve upper-fret access, as well as employing a soundhole-mounted Fishman S-Tone system. Upgraded Nexus Venus models will also feature a new Fishman Presus 2 preamp system with an undersaddle piezo pickup.

Despite these changes, Faith ensures that each guitar will maintain the signature Nexus tone and feel. Updated models cost anywhere between £805 and £885.
Alongside Faith’s new and improved axes, there will also be the international debut of the fresh FX Series. NAMM attendees will be able to get up-close and personal with both the FX Dark Natural Gold and FX Moondust Grey electro-acoustic models, both costing £1,245.
If you’re going to be at NAMM, Faith Guitars is set up at booth Booth #7007 in Hall C. Head to Faith Guitars for more info.
