Faith - FKV12 - Naked Venus 12 String Cut/Electro
great acoustic performance and playabilityThe Faith Venus is the iconic guitar shape that gained Faith Guitars their 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. What's different is finding a smaller bodied guitar in a 12 string format. The Venus 12 remains remarkably easy to play, and will deliver that stunning 12 string sound.
The Spruce top and Mahogany body of each of the Faith Naked instruments is 100% solid tonewood – in keeping with all other Faith series. However, the cosmetics and non-essential dressing have been stripped away, leaving the guitars in their natural, Naked state. Completely satin finished, the tonewood is almost entirely unrestricted in its resonant movement, so the tone delivered is far beyond what is normally expected at this price level.
The Naked Venus 12 string is equipped with a Fishman Presys1 preamp system and Sonicore undersaddle pickup and comes supplied with a padded Faith Gigbag.
