The FVHG was one of the very first Faith guitars we made back in 2003/4 and since its creation, this all-round beauty has consistently been in the top 5 bestsellers, winning several awards along the way in its former guise. In 2021 we changed the rosewood back from a 2-piece to a 3-piece construction. Not only does this design look stunning, especially when bound in flamed maple, but it also allows our luthiers to use smaller sections of wood, many of which would have otherwise gone to waste. This means that more of each tree can be used and fewer need to be cut down in the managed rosewood plantations, and that’s no bad thing.
The very first of the Faith body shapes launched in the winter of 2002, the Venus has become a guitar industry reference point around the world as a style that strikes the ideal balance of size and sound. Thanks to its 15" lower bout and shallower body, the Venus is comfortable to play for long periods yet doesn’t sacrifice tone or acoustic power.
For the guitar top, Venus HiGloss models feature premium quality Solid Engelmann Spruce; on the back and sides, the highly figured, 3-piece Indonesian Rosewood is bound in Flamed Maplearound the front and back. For the fingerboard, bridge, headplate, and heelcap you’ll find our favourite premium hardwood, Indonesian Ebony.
This pairing of tonewoods produces a sound that is often bright and "zingy," with excellent clarity. In terms of a frequency graph, this would look like a smile: Strength in the low frequencies, falling off in the midrange, and then rising again at the top for lovely treble response. This results in the much beloved Spruce / Rosewood tone: Sparkling highs, rich bass notes and fabulous articulation across the spectrum.
Under the saddle of this Faith Guitar lies a Fishman S-core piezo pickup, part of the streamlined, low-profile Fishman INK3 preamp system. A chromatic tuner, three-band equaliser, and volume knob are built into the preamp and the guitar's output connector is cleverly integrated into the bottom of the instrument, making changing batteries a breeze.
To ensure that your beautiful new instrument is well protected and cared for, your guitar is complete with a woodshell hardcase, with padded plush interior. We recommend that you keep your guitar in the hardcase whenever not in use.
