Description
The Faith Naked Venus Cutaway Electro is an award-winning, best-selling handmade all-solid acoustic-electro from Faith Guitars. Designed in the UK by Patrick James Eggle and handcrafted in Indonesia, it features the iconic Venus auditorium-cutaway body shape with a 15" lower bout and shallower depth for comfortable long-session play without sacrificing acoustic power or projection. A solid Engelmann spruce top pairs with solid Indonesian mahogany back and sides under a thin two-stage satin finish that lets the woods resonate freely. The result is a lively, balanced tone with the brightness of spruce tempered by mahogany’s warmer midrange. Simple and unadorned, the Naked series emphasizes pure tonewood character. Fishman Presys-1 electronics with an undersaddle Sonicore pickup, built-in tuner, contour EQ, and phase switch provide stage-ready amplification. Supplied with a padded gigbag.
