Faith Venus Hi Gloss Series FVHG Natural Gloss Electro Acoustic Guitar Cutaway
Faith Venus Hi Gloss Series FVHG Natural Gloss Electro Acoustic Guitar with Cutaway for easy upper-fret access. The high gloss Venus is not to be confused with the Naked Venus and sells for almost twice the price new. The slightly smaller Venus body is comfortable to play while still sounding full-bodied and bright like a dreadnought sized guitar, due to the special design by iconic guitar builder Patrick Eggle.
Apart from one mark on the back, which I've tried to show in the photos, the guitar is in excellent condition with barely a mark on it. It's a lovely guitar to play and really shows the fine solid wood construction. It will be posted properly boxed and fully insured. I'm not a shop, I'm a guitar player. VOTED THE UK'S BEST ACOUSTIC GUITAR 2012. The Venus is the now iconic shape that brought Faith Guitars to the consciousness of so many players over the years. The combination of a 15 lower bout and a slimmer depth of body looks to classic OM or Auditorium body-shapes for inspiration, and makes the Venus the perfect compromise. It is still big enough to deliver a big acoustic performance, yet remains small enough for the player to jump around on stage with no problem.Faith HiGloss series are designed to offer both visual and aural beauty. Using high grade Englemann Spruce for the top and highly-figured Rosewood for the back and sides, HiGloss models feature solid Flamed Maple binding and Macassan Ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap. Tonally, this combination of wood is generally bright and'zingy', delivering great clarity. Visualising this as a frequency curve, it would be shaped like a smile: high on the bass, dipping down through the middle and rising once again at the top end, lending itself to fingerstyle and solo pieces in particular.
The preamp features a chromatic tuner, 3 band EQ and volume control. The output jack is located at the base of the guitar as part of the ingenious, easy-access battery compartment.
