The Importance of Body Shape

The Venus body shape has become a global reference point for acoustic guitar design, offering the perfect balance between comfort and performance. With a 15 inch lower bout and a slightly shallower body depth, the Venus is easy to play for long sessions while still delivering excellent projection, clarity, and tonal depth.

This balanced design makes the Venus ideal for a wide range of playing styles, from gentle fingerpicking to energetic strumming.

Tonewoods And Tonal Character

The Nexus Venus Thru Black is crafted entirely from solid Indonesian mahogany. This all mahogany construction has long been valued for its warm, focused tone and strong midrange presence. The special black stain enhances the natural figuring of the wood, blending dark hues with hints of golden and amber tones beneath the surface.

Tonally, this combination delivers a smooth, linear response that remains articulate and controlled even when played aggressively, making it a reliable and expressive instrument in any musical setting.

Design And Appointments

The 2026 updates include elegant black and white ABS body binding and a beautifully figured ebony pickguard, elevating the visual identity of the Nexus range. Ebony is also used for the fingerboard, bridge, and headplate, contributing to tonal focus, durability, and a premium feel throughout.

The result is a guitar that looks understated at first glance but reveals impressive depth and character up close.

Electronics

This left handed Nexus Venus is fitted with a Fishman Presys 2 preamp system paired with an undersaddle piezo pickup. The system is intuitive and stage ready, featuring a clear built in tuner, two band EQ, phase switch for feedback control, and a master volume control.

The output jack and battery compartment are neatly integrated into the end pin, maintaining a clean and traditional appearance.

Case Included

The Faith Nexus Venus Thru Black Left Handed is supplied with a padded gigbag featuring carry handles, backpack straps, and an accessory pocket. For players with heavier touring schedules, a hardcase upgrade is available for enhanced protection.
