The Faith FVBMB Blood Moon Venus - Cutaway Electro stands as a highly celebrated acoustic instrument, having secured the UK's Best Acoustic Guitar Award five times. Designed with singer-songwriters and acoustic performers in mind, this guitar hits the sweet spot between physical playing comfort and commanding acoustic projection. It addresses the common challenge of finding a stage-ready instrument that feels agile during long sessions without thinning out your live sound.
All-Solid Trembesi Tonewoods
At the core of this instrument is a fully solid construction utilising premium Indonesian Trembesi for the top, back, and sides. Behaving similarly to fine Hawaiian Koa or mahogany, this sustainable timber provides a beautifully balanced, mid-range-focused acoustic profile. Strummers will notice a rich warmth throughout the register, topped with an extra touch of high-end clarity and sparkle that helps vocals sit perfectly in a live mix. Underneath the solid soundboard, hand-scalloped quarter-sawn spruce bracing optimises resonance and structural integrity.
The Ergonomic Venus Body Shape
The Venus shape has established itself as an industry benchmark for performance ergonomics. By combining a 15-inch lower bout with a shallower body depth, the cabinet rests naturally against the player, facilitating hours of fatigue-free performance. This cutaway model grants unrestricted access to the upper frets, while the Patrick James Eggle bolt-on neck design anchors a mahogany neck to ensure excellent stability and a direct transfer of string vibration.
Great Playability and Ebony Fingerboard
The neck is constructed from solid Mahogany and features a comfortable profile that feels instantly familiar in the hand - great for for everything from open chords, to lead lines higher up or complex chordal work.. The neck is topped with an ebony fretboard that features an inlaid Faith F at the 12th fret. The headstock features an veneer inlaid with the Faith logo.
Gig-Ready Fishman Electronics
Translating this acoustic character to an amplifier or PA system is straightforward with the onboard Fishman INK3 preamp and Sonicore undersaddle piezo pickup. The side-mounted, flush-fitting preamp interface gives you immediate control via a 3-band EQ, alongside a highly legible built-in tuner for quick adjustments between songs. To maintain a clean profile, the output jack is integrated neatly into the endpin block alongside an easily accessible battery compartment.
Premium Hardware Appointments and Hardcase
Tuning reliability is managed by Grover Rotomatic machine heads, while a performance-matched TUSQ nut and saddle aid sustain and string to body tone transfer. Completing the package is a padded woodshell hardcase with a plush interior, there to protect your guitar when travelling to gigs and rehearsals.
