Faith - FVBLM - Blue Moon Venus Cut/Electro Guitar with Hardcase

A truly stunning guitar with a distinctive voiceThe Faith Venus Blue Moon is a truly unique instrument. One of the benefits of genuinely solid, natural tonewoods is that each piece of solid timber used will vary in its natural colouration and its individual grain patterns. So your Blue Moon guitar will be as unique as you and your music.

Mango has an interesting tonal character. It's not as loud and punchy as rosewood, or as mellow as mahogany, yet it has its own distinctive warmth. With frequency prominence starting a little below that of mahogany and dropping off a little earlier in the mid-range, the overall tone could be described as dark and moody. Much like maple guitars, the reduced level of resonant overtones makes the Mango-bodied Blue Moon a perfect stage guitar, as it is eminently controllable, balanced and resistant to feedback.

Mango trees grow freely right across the Indonesian archipelago, so the timbers used on Blue Moon guitars are sourced close to Faith workshops in Java, Indonesia, and as always, from certified timber merchants. Finished with flamed Maple binding, Macassan Ebony fittings, Fishman Electronics and complete in a hard case, the Faith Venus Blue Moon is sure to intrigue and inspire you at every opportunity.

The Venus is the now iconic shape that brought Faith Guitars to be desired by so many players over the years. The combination of a 15" lower bout and a slimmer depth of body looks to classic OM or Auditorium body-shapes for inspiration, and makes the Venus the perfect compromise. In fact, the Naked Venus was voted 'The UK's Best Acoustic Guitar' at the MIA Music Awards in 2013. Big enough to deliver a huge acoustic performance, yet small enough for the player to freely move around on stage without issues.
