I had one of the very first Faiths, a Neptune with a finish that's similar to their current 'naked' finish. I also tried out a hi-goss Neptune a couple of years ago.

My Faith was a decent guitar, but I didn't like the thin finish. It made the guitar easy to mark, and it made it very vulnerable to changes in temperature and humidity. One day it could sound fantastic, bright and sustaining and the next, dull and dead to play. I gave it away to a friend of mine and he found exactly the same thing.

The far more recent version (mine was a non-cutaway with no electrics) I tried was a lot better. The thicker gloss finish made it behave like any other acoustic, plus it looked far more attractive IMO. Had a really nice acoustic sound, played well and I was very tempted to buy it.

So yes, I can certainly recommend them, well the glossy finishes at least. I'd avoid the more basic 'naked' finishes. The thicker satin finishes should be OK too, but I prefer the gloss.

But there are so many nice acoustics out there at that sort of price point. It's hard to buy one that's badly made these days. Faith is one good option, but there are many more.

I have a Martin DR road-series dreadnought from about '05. The neck on that is very slim and electric like. So a high-end Sigma Martin copy may be worth a look (if the necks are like that Martin is). My old Gibson Country Western had a neck that could have come off an SG. My Takamine has a nice slim neck, and my Maton has an easy to play one as well. So, in general, most acoustics have necks that are comfortable and quite electric-like to play. You'd be best avoiding ones more designed mainly for fingerpicking, as they will have wider necks to make fingerpicking easy. But maybe 80% of them will have a thinner all-round profile.

But I would strongly recommend that you buy one you've played. Despite being well put together with decent wood selections, an acoustic simply isn't as adjustable in terms of set-up as an electric is. So you are reliant on the action being decent from the start. If it's more than 1mm or so higher than you like (put a capo on to eliminate any high nut issues- which can easily be sorted), then you'll probably need to do a lot more than take some height off the saddle. Sometimes if there's a lot of neck bow, the action will come down significantly when it's straightened, so take that into consideration. But if one guitar you try plays well and the other badly, and they otherwise sound and feel nice, then you know what guitar you'd take away with you.

That happened with my Takamine. I was going to buy the '99 limited edition, as my mate had the '98 limited edition and I liked that, but the one in Andertons had such a high action it was almost unplayable. So I bought a very similar style Takamine at the same price, that had a really good action and was easy to play.
