Pinball Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) This is a beautiful guitar and is one is one of the best players that I have had. Unfortunately it isn't what I need currently so needs a new home. Faith are designed by the renowned luthier James Patrick Eggle. The Venus is a compact guitar and one of Faiths most popular models. This one has a beautiful back and is a bit special. These guitars have gradually gained a considerable reputation amoung musicians.The build quality is superb and the construction This particular guitar has an interesting provenance as it was owned by recording artist Ellie Lawson.It is one of the older venus models and has both a DI and Jack out. This is much better than plugging into the strap button The instrument plays beautifully with a nice low action.It has some dings and scratches but nothing serious,just what you would expect from a guitar that has been played. The only damage worthy of mention is a laquer crack at the side of the pre-amp, due to a past owners clumbsiness no doubt. This doesn't detract from a fine guitar in my humble opinion It comes with a case. Any trial welcome or I will post at cost.

silverfoxnik Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Sounds great! 😊 I have the later model of this guitar and it plays beautifully and has a lovely tone. Also, mine stays in tune really well - something that's so important IMO. I suspect yours is quite rare, and with the added provenance it has, I'd say this is a very good price for it.
