Faith Guitars HiGloss Series - Venus Pickup
HiGloss Venus
This Faith HiGloss is paired with a combination of high grade solid Englemann Spruce and Solid Rosewood. These contrasting tonewoods have both visual and aural beauty. Using the finest select spruce and rosewood brings a bright and zingy tone, delivering great clarity.
VOTED UK'S BEST ACOUSTIC GUITAR IN 2012
Patrick James Eggle's iconic Venus shape that brought Faith Guitars to the consciousness of so many players over the years. Combining a slightly slimmer body alike the OM or Auditorium body and a 15" lower bout makes the Venus an excellent all-rounder. Comparing to the Neptune body shape with a certain focus on low end strength, the Venus has balanced frequencies with a little extra boost in the mids to produce a clear, sweet voice. Great for finger-style guitar players seeking emphasis on clarity in the mids, without an overpowering low-end.
The HiGloss models are bounded with solid Flamed Maple binding and feature Macassan Ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap.
This guitar features a cutaway which provides easy access to the higher frets. Paired with a Faith hard case with soft plush interior and an accessory compartment.
Stage Ready with Fishman INK 3 Pickup
This Blood Moon Neptune is fitted with quality Fishman INK3 preamp system with the Sonicore piezo pickup located under the saddle. The preamp is low-profile and features a 3 band EQ, volume, and chromatic tuner.
