Faith - FKVBK - Naked Venus Cut/Electro Black Stain

A TRULY STUNNING GUITAR WITH A DISTINCTIVE VOICEContinuing on from the acclaimed Naked series of Faith Acoustic Guitars, these thru-black models offer the same rich sonic performance you would expect from an all-solid wood guitar, but feature a special 'thru black' finish with black fittings and hardware.
Using a hand-rubbed stain, rather than a sprayed paint finish, you get a unique look with each guitar. Spruce and Mahogany also have differing cellular structures, so there is natural variation in the way that the stain takes to each peice of tonewood. This stunning course of nature is especially noticeable on the Spruce top, as in some areas, the black stain will be absorbed more than others, creating an individual patina to each and every model. Some will be more uniform black, some will have a more visible wooden pattern.
In keeping with all other Naked series guitars, the Spruce top and Mahogany body of each of the Faith Naked instruments are 100% solid tonewood. The cosmetics and non-essential dressing has been stripped away, so these guitars are beautifully exposed in their natural, Naked state. With a Satin finish all over, the tonewood is almost completely unrestricted in its resonant movement, so the tone delivered is far beyond what is normally expected at this price range.
This Faith Neptune model shape is based upon Patrick James Eggle's highly acclaimed 'Saluda' shape, which is classed as a Baby-Jumbo - with a 16" lower bout. The Neptune is the perfect model for those looking for full acoustic power without the physical bulk of a traditional, full-sized 17” Jumbo.
This particular FKNEBK model uses the full, non-cutaway body shape which means that unplugged, you'll get lots of power across the range. But if you want to amplify it, it couldn’t be simpler! A padded Faith Gigbag is also included with all Naked series guitars.

Sonicore pickup systemThis Faith Guitar is fitted with a discreet Fishman Sonitone preamp system which features a volume and tone control mounted to the underside of the inside of the soundhole.
The sonicore piezo strip is mounted under the saddle, and the battery is found in a special bag affixed inside the guitar attached to the neck-block. The output jack is also the strap button at the base of the guitar.
