Faith Classic Burst Venus – Cutaway Electro (FVSB45)
A warm, expressive acoustic–electric designed by Patrick James Eggle — iconic shape, classic tone, professional performance.
The Faith Venus is the body shape that put Faith Guitars on the map — a perfect balance of comfort, projection, and tonal richness. Inspired by traditional OM/Auditorium designs, the Venus blends a 15" lower bout with a slimmer body depth, making it beautifully responsive yet effortless to play whether you’re songwriting on the couch or performing under lights.
The Classic Burst model pairs solid Red Cedar with solid Mahogany, delivering a wonderfully warm, vocal character with an emphasis on the lower mids. Finished in Faith’s understated three-tone sunburst (deep browns, reds and amber), this guitar looks as rich as it sounds. Premium details like solid Macassan Ebony binding, ebony fingerboard, ebony bridge, and ebony bridge pins elevate the instrument with a boutique, handcrafted feel.
With the Fishman INK3 preamp, 3-band EQ and built-in tuner, the Classic Burst Venus is stage-ready from day one. And because Faith treats every guitar as a professional-grade instrument, it comes complete with a plush-lined Faith hardcase.
Designed by acclaimed luthier Patrick James Eggle. Hand-crafted in Indonesia.
