Default NGD. Faith Venus Blood Moon Burst (FVBMB)

Hi Guys. Introducing my 8-month old Faith Venus Blood Moon Burst (FVBMB). It is made from full solid Trembesi (top, side & back). I was unfamiliar with Faith guitars and happened to stumble upon a few Youtube videos of this guitar while watching videos of the K24CE. After watching a few videos about this guitar, I fell in love with it (had GAS).

One video featured Hannah Trigwell. I didn’t know who she was but I watched this video (below) and found out she was quite a well known singer in UK. She uses Faith guitars too.

I was eager to get this guitar and I checked who the distributor was in the country where I am from...and had to wait about 3 months before the guitar arrived. But it was worth the wait. If you want to know more about this guitar and how it sounds, watch the attached video links below.

Btw, what made me even more interested in getting this guitar was that it was voted UK’s Best Acoustic Guitar in 2016. This guitar is good for those (like myself) who are not yet ready to spend above $2,000 on a guitar. Let’s just call it a “poor man’s alternative to a K24CE”!

I have the Neptune model, and it is stunning. I was a bit skeptical about Trembesi but this changed that. It comes with Veritas DR VTA-12's and they are quite warm but good across the range.

Looks beautiful! Does it sound like a Koa guitar, or more like an all-hog?

Somewhere in between hog and koa. Has its own voice actually. You can watch the 3rd video link for a better description of its tone.

I love everything about that guitar, including its name, Venus, and the Blood Moon title of the burst. Creative, non-traditional, and quite lovely to look at! I'm happy for you!

Can tell that you’re a big fan of Faith guitars. You have so many of them!
