The Importance Of Body Shape
The first of the Faith body shapes launched in the winter of 2002, the Venus has become a guitar industry reference point around the world as a style 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.
Which Tonewoods Are Used And Why?
Trembesi wood has long been sought after by furniture manufacturers for its magnificent beauty and stunning variety of patterns, but we’ve more recently been persuaded of its tonal capabilities too. A good Trembesi instrument, like Hawaiian Koa, behaves similarly to Mahogany, offering warmth and balance throughout the strings but with the addition of a little more sparkle at the high-end.
How Does It All Come Together?
This stunning guitar offers a visual treat for you and your audience, with compliments never far away. Whether unplugged or amplified, you’ll also discover an instrument that reliably delivers a balanced tone, perfect for singer-songwriters and strummers.
The special ‘Blood Moon’ burst finish is enhanced even further by solid flamed maple binding and Ebony fittings.
The Electronics
Amplifying your BloodMoon is simple thanks to the Fishman INK3 preamp and sonicore pickup system. The undersaddle piezo pickup is controlled by a side-mounted, flush-fitting preamp with 3 band EQ and a built-in tuner. The output socket is mounted into the end of the guitar with an ingeniously integrated battery box and separate strap button.
A Faith Hardcase is included with every Faith Blood Moon guitar.
The Case
To ensure that your beautiful new instrument is well protected and cared for, your guitar is complete with a woodshell hardcase, with 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!
