Here for sale we have a Faith FVTB Venus Cutaway Hi-Gloss Electro-Acoustic Guitar in Natural Gloss finish. Made in Indonesia in 2015, this guitar consists of a Solid Engelmann Spruce top, Solid Indonesian Trembesi back and sides, a Mahogany neck, and a 20-fret Macassan Figured Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Quarter-Sawn Spruce bracing, Grover Rotomatic Gold tuners, a TUSQ nut, and a Shadow preamp and pickup system. This system has controls for volume, treble, bass, phase, and an onboard tuner.
The Mahogany neck plays effortlessly, with its ‘C’ shape neck feeling familiar and ergonomic while the Ebony fingerboard provides a smooth and consistent playing surface. The cutaway makes the upper registers of the fingerboard accessible while the unique shape of the Faith Venus feels comfortable against the body, still being able to deliver big acoustic performances.
The all-solid-wood construction makes for a lively and dynamic instrument that responds well to the touch, with the Solid Spruce top giving excellent clarity and midrange punch, while the Solid Indonesian Trembesi back and sides offer plenty of warmth and a smooth transient response. The Shadow preamp really enhances the voice of the guitar, in a simple and easy-to-use package, great for gigging with.
