The Faith Venus Percussive Cutaway features an entire solid wood construction for a superior tone and an incredible dynamic response. Its solid engelmann spruce top yields crisp articulation and slightly richer mid-range than sitka spruce. The solid top's smooth tone provides a versatile soundboard that is able to accommodate numerous genres and techniques with equal ease, from various picking styles to heavier strumming patterns. Furthermore, the solid engelmann spruce top is paired with solid rosewood back and sides that produce a powerful, warm, deep bass response. Its solid rosewood back and sides also produce an incredibly rich tonality with a throaty growl while its treble notes sparkle with plenty of crystal clear clarity. Lastly, with rosewood's iconic tone and spruce's versatile nature the Faith Venus is ideal for a wide variety of genres and playing styles as well as numerous percussive techniques.
With a neck constructed from mahogany, the Venus offers a quick and dynamic response with plenty of warmth and resonance. Mahogany's nature allows it to respond superbly to numerous playing styles and techniques with ease, perfect for getting creative and unleashing true potential. Furthermore, the neck is topped with an Macassan figured ebony fingerboard that adds ringing sustain, plenty of bite and a bright sizzle to the guitar's overall tone. For added aesthetic appeal, the fingerboard also features Faith's majestic 'F' logo placed on the 12th fret and inlaid in mother of pearl for an elegant look.
Faith took their inspiration for the Venus from auditorium sized guitars and created their own iconic Venus shape that provides the player with comfortably-easy playability and a versatile sonic performance. Additionally, the Venus shape is also an idyllic all-purpose guitar that offers a balanced and articulate response with great volume and projection, equally-suited to both fingerpicking and strumming. Furthermore, to add to the comfortable playability, the Faith Venus also has a venetian cutaway profile which offers easy access to upper frets, allowing the player to perform more technical skills without being restricted higher up the fingerboard.
The Venus Percussive Cutaway features Fishman's INK BODY preamp system with an undersaddle pickup and bridge plate body sensor, providing the modern percussive player with incredibly responsive electronics for optimum amplified performance. In addition, with the guitar world expanding and the modern player advancing to slapping and tapping their instrument, Faith have released a model specifically tailored to meet the needs of the performing percussive player. This innovative design features an undersaddle piezo pickup and a bridge plate body sensor, and with its Fishman INK BODY preamp, the player is able to blend both the pickup and sensor for a whole new level of expressive performance. Additionally, the Fishman INK BODY preamp system combines the clarity of the piezo with the body sensor's rich tonality, resulting in superb note expression when picking and projecting each stunning nuance when slapping and tapping different parts of the body. Lastly, the preamp also features a 3-band EQ, notch control for preventing undesirable feedback, brilliance for an enhanced tone, and an on-board tuner that provides precise and easy on-the-go.
