(Gloss Black)
The 'Ultimate Stage Guitar'Designed as the ultimate "stage guitars", Faith have reimagined the much-loved Eclipse series to include new premium features. Fishman’s revolutionary INK BODY preamp system combines the clarity of a traditional undersaddle piezo pickup with the tonal richness of a body sensor for enhanced amplified performance, these models now feature a beautiful, figured maple ergonomic forearm contour designed to maximise comfort and playability.
One of the 3 original Faith body shapes upon launch in the winter of 2002, the Venus has become a reference point around the world as a guitar that strikes the ideal balance of size and sound. Thanks to its 15" lower bout and shallower body, the Venus is comfortable to play for long periods with no compromise on tone or acoustic power.
Faith Eclipse guitars combine a classic blend of solid Engelmann Spruce tops with solid Mahogany back and sides to ensure a superb sound, with an ideal blend of presence and full-bodied tone. The onyx-black finish, covered with a carefully applied clear lacquer, helps to tame the tonewood’s natural resonance, producing a reassuringly balanced and focused tone when amplified.

How Does It All Come Together?
ergonomic designBringing the "Eclipse" name to life, Faith have introduced, for the first time in our history, a beautiful, figured maple ergonomic forearm contour. Designed to maximise comfort and playability both onstage and at home, the maple arm contour is matched by stunning figured maple binding.
In line with their commitment to ethical and sustainable manufacturing, Eclipse guitars are free from all animal products: traditional abalone and mother-of-pearl rosette and logo materials have been replaced with beautifully figured maple.
The Electronics
greater expressionThe reimagined Eclipse guitars feature upgraded onboard electronics with Fishman’s revolutionary INK BODY preamp system. Carefully selected to enhance amplified performance, this system combines the clarity of a traditional undersaddle piezo pickup with the tonal richness of a body sensor. This not only elevates the amplified sound to incredible new heights, but allows for greater note expression whether playing chords or complex fingerstyle pieces.
A ‘body’ control on the discreet Fishman preamp fascia enables players to intuitively dial in the bridge-plate mounted sensor alongside the piezo, under-saddle pickup, offering greater control over the level of body-derived tone or percussion in the mix.
The Case
padded protectionTo ensure that your beautiful new instrument is well protected and cared for, your guitar is complete with a black woodshell hardcase, with black padded plush interior.
We do recommend that you keep your guitar in the hardcase whenever not in use, although quite why you wouldn't be playing it, we can't imagine!
Every Guitar Includes Professional Setup
It doesn’t matter what the value of the guitar, if you buy it from us we take extra steps to ensure you are completely satisfied with your instrument. Each guitar goes through a 22 step professional guitar set up process to make sure your new instrument sounds as the manufacturer intended it to play.
This means that your guitar may take an extra day to deliver, just so we can get these checks done. You’ll receive email updates once your guitar is ready for despatch.
We hope you feel it’s worth the extra time and patience we spend on your instrument.
