Faith - FVHG3 - HiGloss 3 Venus Cut/Electro
3-Piece Rosewood

A TRULY STUNNING GUITAR WITH A DISTINCTIVE VOICEFaith HiGloss series have always been designed to offer both visual and audible beauty. By upgrading to HiGloss-3, we think you'll agree that these wonderful instruments will continue to inspire musicians for generations to come.
Using a more sustainable 3-piece, solid rosewood back design, these increasingly popular models will serve you for longer, and retain all the tonal and visual punch that HiGloss-series fanatics have come to expect. Using high grade Englemann Spruce for the top and highly-figured, 3-piece Rosewood bound in Flamed Maple for the back and sides, HiGloss-3 models also feature solid Flamed Maple binding on the front and use stripy Indonesian Ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap.
Tonally, this combination of wood is generally bright and ‘zingy’, delivering great clarity. Visualising this as a frequency curve, it would be shaped like a smile: high on the bass, dipping down through the middle and rising once again at the top end. Therefore greater string separation and articulation is achieved, lending itself to fingerstyle and solo pieces in particular.
The Venus is the iconic shape that gained Faith Guitars a great reputation from 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. It's still big enough to deliver a big acoustic performance, whilst small enough for the player to move around on stage freely without issues. All HiGloss series Faith Guitars comes with a Faith Hardcase included.
