Decided it was time for a new acoustic. Got a new band on the go, we'll be doing a bit of an acoustic set as well as the loud stuff and i wanted something semi-decent for gigging, my old washburn (prc made, bog standard fishman electrics) has served me well but I always struggled to get a decent plugged in sound. I first tried a faith guitar a couple of years ago when my brother picked one up, I've tried a few since and been very impressed. This is the stripped back 'naked' version of the Venus concert sized guitar - no binding, no frills but solid spruce top and solid mahogony back, sides and neck. I do like a bit of bling on a guitar but the budget was modest! It has a shadow system pre-amp.
First impressions are very good. It's well put together and finished (a nicely applied satin finish), extremely light, plays nicely, not as loud as my dreadnoughts but less boomy, a bit more sweet sounding and balanced. Lovely fingerpicked or strummed, very happy so far, not had a chance to plug her in yet but I've been impressed with the faith guitars I have heard amplified so hoping it'll sit well in the band mix. Looking forward to spending time with this guitar, my acoustic playing has been rather neglected of late.
