Faith FKVBK Naked Venus Electro Acoustic Guitar - Black

The Faith Naked Venus FKVBK Cutaway Electro brings a beautifully focused, stripped-back aesthetic to one of the brand's most celebrated body designs. By removing non-essential decorative appointments, this all-solid electro-acoustic directs its entire identity toward raw resonance, organic projection, and exceptional player comfort. 

The Naked Venus FKVBK is designed for gigging musicians, songwriters, and home players alike, delivering a mature acoustic voice that performs reliably under any musical scenario.

All-Solid Wood Construction with Hand-Rubbed Black Stain

The foundation of this guitar's expressive voice lies in its 100% solid tonewood construction. A solid Indonesian Engelmann spruce soundboard acts as a highly responsive top, delivering crisp high-end definition and excellent note articulation. This is paired with solid Indonesian mahogany back and sides, which infuse the overall mix with a warm, punchy mid-range. Instead of a thick, heavy sprayed paint coat, a specialized hand-rubbed black dye is applied to the timbers before being sealed with a thin 2-stage satin lacquer. 

Because spruce and mahogany possess entirely different cellular densities, the wood fibers absorb the dye uniquely. This organic interaction creates a distinct patina across the body, ensuring that the natural timber grain pattern always remains visible and every single guitar bears its own individual character.

Iconic Venus Auditorium Body with Cutaway

As one of Faith’s original, signature body profiles, the Venus strikes a careful compromise between physical comfort and acoustic power. Featuring a 15" (38.1 cm) lower bout combined with a shallower body depth than a standard grand auditorium, it fits comfortably against the body for extended playing sessions without losing its authoritative acoustic projection. The addition of a smooth Venetian cutaway ensures that players have unhindered, comfortable access to the highest frets, making it an excellent platform for intricate lead work and complex chord extensions.

Patrick James Eggle X-Bracing

Beneath the solid spruce top, the internal architecture features a quartersawn spruce bracing system arrayed in a classic Patrick James Eggle X-brace design. Hand-scalloped to minimize mass while preserving absolute structural integrity, this bracing pattern allows the soundboard to flex and vibrate with immense freedom. 

Combined with the thin satin finish, the body is left almost entirely unrestricted, resulting in a lively dynamic range and a rich, texturally satisfying tone that will continue to mature and open up over years of playing.

Stage-Ready Fishman Preamp System

Equipped for seamless live performance and direct studio tracking, this model features an active Fishman Presys 1 preamp paired with an under-saddle Sonicore pickup. The preamp system houses an exceptionally accurate onboard electronic tuner with an easy-to-read display, alongside essential tone-shaping controls for volume, phase, and an EQ contour switch. The output is cleanly routed through a combined jack socket and strap button installed cleanly into the base of the instrument, maintaining a sleek profile while guaranteeing a transparent, natural plugged-in tone when running through an acoustic amplifier or PA system.
