Iconic body shape
Faith took their inspiration for the Venus from auditorium sized guitars and created their own iconic shape that provides the player with easy, comfortable playability and versatile sonic performance. This 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. To further enhance the comfortable playability, the Faith Naked 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.
Sculpted for perfection
This model offers an all-mahogany construction that provides you with a full-bodied, rich-sounding acoustic guitar. Its beautifully figured solid top has a natural compression that produces strong fundamentals with a clear, direct focus. It also adds a resonance and distinct warmth, whilst producing a punchy, woody, meaty tonality and emphasis within the mid-range. With its entire solid-wood construction, the Nexus Venus offers natural resonance and will perform superbly within numerous playing styles. It has been stripped back of unnecessary cosmetic finishes and features a hand-applied copper black stain with a carefully applied high gloss lacquer that adds a layer of protection as well as highlighting the mahogany's natural beauty.
Stunning tonewoods
With a neck also constructed from mahogany, the Nexus Venus offers a quick and dynamic response with plenty of warmth and resonance. Its nature allows it to respond superbly to numerous playing styles and techniques with ease, perfect for getting creative and unleashing true potential. The neck has been topped with a 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.
Ready for stage and studio
In order to further enhance this model, it comes equipped with a Fishman Isys+ preamp, which offers basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal environments. The on-board preamp features rotary controls for volume, bass, and treble, which allows a player to add a little extra bass or treble to their amplified sound whilst a phase button can be used to reduce undesirable feedback when plugged in. In addition, the preamp also features a convenient built-in tuner that has an easy-to-read LED screen, perfect for tuning up or down within the darkest of venues, as well as being ideal for precise and easy tuning when playing acoustically. With this sophisticated preamp system, the Nexus Venus is perfect for the gigging guitarist and recording session musician or singer/songwriter.
