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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe very first of the Faith body shapes\u003c\/strong\u003e launched in the winter of 2002, the Venus has become a \u003cstrong\u003eguitar industry reference point \u003c\/strong\u003earound the world as a style that strikes \u003cstrong\u003ethe ideal balance of size and sound\u003c\/strong\u003e.
