Faith FVL Natural Venus Left-Handed Cutaway Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Left-handed players often have to settle for a small choice of guitars, so the FVL is a proper full-spec Faith with nothing compromised. It's the left-handed version of the Natural Venus, built around the body shape that made Faith's name. With a 15" lower bout and a slimmer body depth, it draws on classic OM and auditorium designs. It's big enough to sound full and powerful unplugged, and it stays comfortable to play sitting down or on stage.

The Natural series is where Faith started, and it uses a classic spruce and mahogany combination. The top is solid Engelmann spruce over solid mahogany back and sides, which gives a warm, sweet and balanced tone. Ebony binding, a 5mm abalone rosette and a gloss top over satin back and sides finish it off. Hand-scalloped quarter-sawn spruce bracing follows the Patrick James Eggle X-brace design.

The satin-finished mahogany neck has a bolt-on joint, a two-way truss rod, and a Macassan figured ebony fingerboard with a mother-of-pearl "F" at the 12th fret. The ebony bridge has abalone-dotted pins, and Grover Rotomatic gold tuners with TUSQ nut and saddle keep everything stable. The cutaway gives easy access to the upper frets.

It has a Fishman INK3 preamp with an under-saddle pickup, so you can plug straight into a PA or amp. It comes with a hard case.
