Fishman Pre-Amp / Pickup

This Faith Guitar is fitted with the refined, low-profile Fishman INK3 preamp system with the Sonicore piezo pickup located under the saddle. The preamp features a chromatic tuner, 3 band EQ and volume control. The output jack is located at the base of the guitar as part of the ingenious, easy-access battery compartment.

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 perfect compromise.

It is still big enough to deliver a big acoustic performance, yet remains small enough for the player to jump around on stage with no problem.

Faith Natural series were the very first style of Faith Guitar, and are a classic combination of Spruce and Mahogany.

Using high grade Englemann Spruce for the top and satin finished Mahogany for the back and sides, Natural models feature solid Rosewood binding and Macassan Ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap. Tonally, this combination of wood is generally warm, sweet and mellow, delivering an overall balanced tone.

"Got this as replacement for my beginner guitar and what an upgrade fantastic nice action lovely tone and build quality superb. I got mine from PMT and they were very helpful I tried Taylor and Martin entry level guitars at the same time but the Faith was better all round Looks and sound and cheaper so it was a no brainer. Had the guitar for a year now and still think it’s brilliant makes me want to play everyday."

"Exotic yet subtle finish, brilliant rounded tone. Onboard tuner requires a certain 'knack' to use efficiently. A guitar for someone looking for something out of the ordinary but still plenty reliable."

"It is the same model guitar that I started with back in 2010. After trying other brands, shapes and sizes over the last 13 years, I've come back the the Venus Natural. Great sound, fantastic quality, and about as easy to play as anything else out there. Fabulous! "

"I have over 40 guitars mostly electric solid body and semi-hollowbody also acoustic guitars both Gibson and Martin. The Faith Venus I have just purchased is probably the best guitar under £1000 and compares well to the USA made guitars at 3 times the price. The guitar is very well made, has an evenness of tone over all the strings and has great projection, very loud. It demonstrates that a good guitar doesn't need to cost several thousand pounds. The Faith guitars are fantastic value for money."
