The Faith FKVCD Naked Venus Cutaway Electro Cedar Mahogany acoustic guitar offers a dark, warm, and highly expressive acoustic voice. By stripping back decorative bindings and heavy gloss lacquers, this instrument focuses entirely on tonal purity and physical resonance. The result is an incredibly responsive acoustic guitar that feels deeply organic in the hands and projects every delicate nuance of your performance.
Solid Cedar Soundboard
The defining sonic characteristic of this model is its solid cedar top, which is paired with solid mahogany back and sides. While spruce tops deliver crisp brightness, cedar is celebrated for its immediate warmth, dark harmonic undertones, and mature voice straight out of the box. This choice of soundboard responds beautifully to a lighter touch, producing a full-bodied, complex resonance that forms a perfect, non-intrusive sonic cushion underneath a vocal performance.
Resonant Naked Finish
Part of the acclaimed Naked series, this instrument features an ultra-thin, two-stage satin finish across the entire body and neck. This minimal coating leaves the pores of the solid tonewoods open to breathe and move naturally. Traditional thick gloss lacquers can occasionally dampen the vibrating top, but this tactile satin treatment ensures unrestricted soundboard movement, maximizing the guitar's acoustic volume and mid-range projection while providing a smooth, fast feel along the neck.
Stage-Ready Fishman Electronics
Equipped for direct venue connection, this electro-acoustic model features a side-mounted preamp system with an integrated tuner. The onboard electronics faithfully capture the woody, warm acoustic response of the cedar soundboard, allowing you to plug straight into a PA system or acoustic amplifier with complete confidence. The built-in tuner provides clear visual feedback, letting you make quick, discrete tuning corrections on stage between songs.
The Venus body shape represents a highly successful middle ground for modern acoustic players, featuring a scaled-down lower bout that sits comfortably against the body without sacrificing low-end depth. A fluid Venetian cutaway provides effortless access to the upper frets, ensuring your fretting hand can transition smoothly into higher melodic positions for intricate lead lines and solo arrangements.
