Description
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 yet doesn’t sacrifice tone or acoustic power.
Main Features
- The iconic, best-selling Venus shape
- Solid Mahogany Top, Back and Sides
- Natural wood-figuring enhanced with a Solar Flare Burst
- Loves to be played and strummed hard
- Ebony Fingerboard, Bridge and Headplate
- Fishman Presys 2 pickup system
Which Tonewoods Are Used And Why?
The top, back and sides of the Nexus Venus Solar Flare are solid Indonesian Mahogany and feature an exclusive rich, sunburst-coloured top while the back and sides retain a deep, stained natural hue.
This satin finish is soft and smooth to the touch, complementing its smooth and balanced tonal palette.
How Does It All Come Together?
All-Mahogany guitars have been an essential part of a guitarists tonal palette for a long time now. By using the same tonewood for the whole body, the instrument delivers a reliably linear tone and overall an instrument that loves to be played and strummed hard.
This model features black ABS body binding and is fitted with a solid Figured Ebony pickguard, a feature found on only a handful of select Faith guitars. Beautiful Macassan figured Ebony is used for the Fingerboard, Bridge and Headplate.
The Electronics
This Nexus Venus is equipped with a Fishman Presys 2 preamp system and an undersaddle piezo pickup strip. This elegant solution is super easy to use, with an easy to read built-in tuner, 2 Band EQ contour control, phase switch (to control any feedback on stage), and a volume knob. The output jack is part of the battery box panel at the base of the guitar.
The Gigbag
Your Faith Nexus guitar is supplied complete with a padded gigbag with handles, backstraps and an accessory pocket. And, when your gig schedule demands it, you can upgrade to a hardcase for even more protection too.
