Manufacturer's ID: FKV
The Venus is the now iconic shape that brought Faith Guitars to the consciousness of so many players over the years. The combination of a 15" lower bout and a slimmer depth of body looks to classic OM or Auditorium body-shapes for inspiration, and makes the Venus the ultimate all-rounder.
Whereas the slightly larger Neptune Baby-Jumbo still has a certain amount of low-end agression, the Venus tones it down a little more, and in return ramps up the mid frequencies a little to produce a sweet voice with excellent clarity.
So, while it's still big enough to more than hold its own when unplugged, its real party trick is being the ultimate stage guitar. Thousands of musicians across the globe have played the most arduous of gigs in comfort with a Faith Venus slung over their shoulders. Players of all ages, shapes and sizes will find it supremely comfortable, that's for sure.
