Faith FPVSF Nexus Venus Concert Electro Acoustic, Solar Flare Overview
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 15in lower bout and a slimmer depth of bodylooks 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 Nexus models are a stunning collection of all-solid acoustic guitars, designed to carefully bridge the gap between the ever-popular, stripped-back Naked series and our premium PRO and LEGACY models.
You’ll discover a wealth of visual and tonal appeal in the Nexus lineup, as they’re crafted from all-mahogany or all-trembesi tonewoods and love to be played hard, offering a distinctive tonal character with an emphasis on the mid-range.
Tthe Nexus Venus Solar Flare (FPVSF) model features an exclusive satin finish over the rich, sunburst-coloured top while the back and sides retain a deep, stained natural hue. This satin finish is soft and smooth to the touch, complementing its smooth and balanced tonal palette.
This model features ABS body binding - black with white purfling - and is fitted with a solid Figured Ebony pickguard, a feature found on only a handful of select Faith guitars.
Electronics are provided by Fishman, using a side-mounted Presys2 preamp system which features an in-built tuner too.
All Nexus guitars are now supplied with a padded Faith Gig bag.
