Faith Venus Concert Cut-away Natural FV by Faith guitars. The Venus Natural's soundboard is crafted of Solid Engelmann Spruce which has a protective lacquer to ensure a lasting lustre. The back and sides retain a simpler, satin finish. This lets the Solid Mahogany resonate freely, creating a natural, pure tone. The Venus shape has been a favourite since its launch back in 2001, giving a great tonal performance yet remaining manageable and comfortable for those long, marathon sessions. This FV Electro model features Shadow's acclaimed NanoFlex pickup technology plus the Shadow SH863 premap system. All Faith Natural and Faith Hi-Gloss models are supplied complete with a Faith Hard Case.
