Derick , said, "You keep on making incorrect statements, not that these statements bother me, but they are a lot of people who read your comments, and you may be misleading them.
You stated the Faith Guitar Bloodmoon series, manufactured from solid Trembesi wood, were the same colour a spruce and stained, incorrect statements.
Faith Guitars make a fair range of model with 1.75 inch nut width, and are in there catalogue, as you believed they didn't."

Monkeypod, Raintree or Albizia saman (the wood's actual known names) go from very light golden, light golden with dark streaks to some that are dark. So to get them to be a consistently the same color, they'll have to be stained. That statement is correct. It's also from the wood-database.com. So, I'm just going by their expert info. If that's incorrect, ok....but I don't argue with people who are better informed than I.
Faith guitars do not have any 1.75" nut widths that I could find.....is what I said. That statement is correct because I could not find any. It's not about what I believe, it's about what I could find, or in this case, could not find.
I'm a bit taken aback here my friend. For someone who says they're not bothered by my statement, you sure won't let this go. My only point was about the pickups initially (or what those reviewers may have used or done as far as software, hardware etc goes). That's it. Period. That's why I lead with the disclaimer that I'm sure the guitars are great acoustically.
What I was trying to say in a very short statement that you didn't understand, was that even if I got a guitar like that for free, it wouldn't work for me on stage....plugged in....where I use guitars the most. But if it was just for playing at home, ya sure, I'd take a free guitar in a heartbeat! Finding somewhere to put it would be the only real problem I'd have.
Finally, you said something about me misleading people. I'm not even going to defend myself on this one, I'll just ask you and everyone else here that knows me: Have I ever said anything here that sounds like I'm misleading people?
Does that sound like me? 
I sure hope not.
As to the complaint that the guitars sound 'squawky' when plugged in, yep, in that initial video, the plugged-in sound was unimpressive (and like TonyKgull , when I'm playing out, it's usually in an amplified situation, so the plugged-in sound is important to me -- that's why I don't use my Guild OM-140ce on gigs, because the undersaddle transducer doesn't sound very good to my ear even though the guitar itself sounds fine unplugged.) However, as with the nut width, Faith does offer different electronics packages in their acoustic-electrics, at least one of which is a dual system: the Fishman Flex Blend w/ Condenser Mic in the same guitar I referenced above... which happens to be the Faith guitar I'd most love to try out in real life.
So both of you have valid critiques to make, but let's dial down the temperature a bit!
I'm hoping the new year won't be as crazy as 2018 has been for me and I'll have time for that sort of stuff again. Could use a nice free electric or bass or anything actually as free is my favorite price!
