D-10ce A fantastic all-rounder, this guitar is ideal for the player who wants an outstanding electro without any sacrifice acoustically. The solid Sitka spruce top produces a warm rounded tone when unplugged, balanced by the mahogany back and sides. The soundboard vibration is captured by the piezo pick-up located under the saddle, translating the guitar’s natural resonance into an authentic amplified sound. The cutaway allows extra access for the adventurous picker, ideal for adding acoustic lead lines to your compositions. MODEL

Pre-amps How do you reproduce the rich detailed tone of your favourite acoustic guitar through an amplifier? The answer to this question is something of a “Holy Grail” to gigging acoustic players, and the path to it is littered with plenty of fool’s gold! New weird and wonderful pre-amp solutions emerge every year, all claiming to finally deliver that authentic sound. To make things more confusing, the behaviour of electro-acoustics can alter drastically depending on the acoustics of different venues, not to mention the volume, crowd size, amplifier etc. The key to a good plugged-in sound is adaptability and tone control, with the tone of the finished electro-acoustic sound heavily dependent on the quality of its on-board pick-up and pre-amp system. Farida’s electro-acoustics feature vibration-based ‘Piezo’ pick-ups located under the saddle in the guitar’s bridge piece, ideally placed for gathering the maximum tonal information from both the strings and the soundboard. This raw signal is then fed to a battery-powered pre-amp system to produce a finished sound. What makes Farida electros’ something special is that they are equipped with top-of-therange Fishman pre-amps, famous for their fantastic capabilities in sound-crafting. From the pre-amp unit mounted in the side of your guitar you are able to mould your sound to suit the needs of the song, altering your tone with small adjustments to the equalisation faders. This control allows you to make sure your acoustic sounds sweet no matter where you play.
