The award-winning Faith FKV Naked Venus Cutaway Electro Acoustic Guitar delivers an unvarnished, stripped-back approach to premium acoustic performance.
Built for performing singer-songwriters and gigging guitarists who require uncompromised tone without unnecessary cosmetic frills, this instrument focuses entirely on acoustic resonance and pure playability. By omitting heavy fills and thick lacquers, Faith creates a guitar that feels alive in your hands, ready to respond to every nuance of your performance on stage or in the studio.
Solid Tonewood Construction
At the heart of the instrument's expressive voice is a solid Engelmann spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides. Choosing a solid top ensures a rich, articulate acoustic character that actually matures and improves in tone over years of regular playing. The combination of spruce and mahogany provides an incredibly balanced soundstage, delivering crisp high-end definition alongside a warm, focused mid-range that sits beautifully underneath a vocal track.
Faith Venus Cutaway Body Shape
The Venus body shape strikes an ideal middle ground for players who find traditional dreadnoughts too cumbersome. Its scaled-down dimensions offer superb physical comfort while retaining enough lower-bout depth to provide excellent acoustic projection and a full low-end response. A smooth Venetian cutaway grants effortless access to the higher registers of the fingerboard, expanding your melodic range for intricate lead work and complex chord voicings.
Organic Satin Finish
The defining feature of the Naked series is its structural simplicity. Finished with a two-stage satin lacquer all over, the tonewoods are left open to breathe and move freely. Heavy gloss finishes can occasionally restrict the natural vibrations of a soundboard, but this thin satin treatment ensures maximum resonance and an immediate dynamic response. It also provides a smooth, tactile feel across the entire instrument, preventing your fretting hand from sticking during long playing sessions.
Stage-Ready Fishman Electronics
For seamless transition from practice room to live venue, this model comes equipped with a Fishamn Presys 1 side-mounted preamp system featuring an integrated tuner. The preamp allows you to plug directly into an acoustic amplifier or PA system, accurately capturing the guitar's natural acoustic voice for the audience. The built-in tuner ensures you can make discrete tuning adjustments mid-set without needing to look down at an external pedal or clip-on device.
