Faith Guitars is releasing a new version of its Hi-Gloss Venus guitar aimed at fingerstyle and percussive guitarists.
The Faith Hi-Gloss Venus Percussive (FVHG-PERC) features an advanced Fishman INK Body preamp system which fuses a traditional undersaddle piezo pickup with a body sensor, located under the bridge plate. The body sensor allows for much greater note expression when playing fingerstyle, whilst also delivering a multitude of sonic effects when tapping and slapping various parts of the body.
The Fishman INK Body system features a low-profile discreet design that comprises a 3-band EQ, clear tuner display, a notch filter control and a brilliance control. A ‘body’ control located on the preamp fascia allows players to dial in the under-bridge pickup alongside the piezo pickup for full control over the level of percussive elements heard in the mix.
Construction of the guitar is based on a solid Engelmann Spruce top with solid Rosewood back and sides – with an all-over high gloss finish – a satin Mahogany neck and Macassan Figured Ebony fingerboard, bridge and pins. The new Percussive model is available in stores now, retailing at £1,049.
