Faith FVHG Venus HiGloss [Used]

For anyone reading this, I will start by making two statements up front. Firstly, I purposely waiting 6 months before writing this review and I wanted to avoid that initial new toy rush and really get a good feel for the instrument. Secondly, I had my heart set on the blood moon venus, but chose the neptune after watching a couple of Richards videos. Believe me, I wanted that Venus and I wanted to buy from Richards guitars. Having researched like hell and watched every YouTube video possibly, I took Richards video advice and tested a venus against the neptune in a local store. The venus looked and sounded amazing, but the neptune had a little more depth. I also tested two Neptune's, the blood moon and the blue moon. Again, the blood moon was my preference.

Order process was easy and I liked they way that setup requirements were gathered. I can honestly say that I felt valued & involved. And the guitar was set up for my specific needs. Period from order to delivery took a little while, but was well worth it.

Guitar looks stunning and plays very nicely. I'm a suckered for a decent wood grain, so always going to mark this high, but it looks superb. Even pushed through an amp, this sounds awesome and I think the first electro accoustic guitar I have owned that doesn't feedback like Jimi Hendrix.

I've been playing this regularly over the last few months and it has helped reignite my playing. I find myself working out guitar parts to play acoustically and here's the thing... I bought a DAW so I could record my parts and add layers. This guitar really helped switch me back on.

Tuning keys are lovely and neck feels great. My only criticism is that I don't trust the built in tuner as I think it is slightly out of pitch. I also found the strap button on the neck a little tight to attach the strap.

I'd definitely recommend a Faith guitar and also Richards Guitars as a retailer.

I own mid priced Sire and Ibanez acoustics and was looking at Auden to match my Gordon Smith electrics,,,but when i saw this at special price , I ordered straight away.
Really lovely look and sound,enjoying the 013 strings fitted for set up tho i normally use 011s (was too busy at work to answer set up questions so my fault) Im guitar tech so no probs if i want to down size strings at a later date .
So great guitar,great price and great service..Nice One !!!
