Faith Guitars, founded by British luthier Patrick James Eggle, have built a strong reputation for making premium-quality acoustic guitars that offer boutique craftsmanship at mid-range prices. The Eclipse series takes their award-winning Venus body shape and gives it a darker, moodier aesthetic — with all-black finishes and high-quality tonewoods. The Faith Eclipse Venus FVEC is an electro-acoustic cutaway designed for stage performance, combining luxurious looks, professional playability, and Faith’s signature natural tone.

Build & Design

• Body shape: Venus (Faith’s original medium-sized auditorium/jumbo hybrid, well-balanced for strumming and fingerstyle).

• Top: Solid Engelmann spruce, finished in high-gloss black lacquer.

• Back & sides: Solid mahogany (also finished in gloss black).

• Neck: Mahogany with a satin finish for smooth playability.

• Fingerboard: Macassan figured ebony with small pearl dot inlays.

• Bridge: Ebony, with a Tusq nut and saddle.

• Electronics: Equipped with a Fishman INK3 preamp system with built-in tuner, volume, EQ, and phase controls.

• Hardware: Grover Rotomatic tuners (black chrome finish).

• Finish: High-gloss “Eclipse” all-black aesthetic with cream binding — sleek, elegant, and modern.

The FVEC feels premium in every detail, with a distinctive all-black look that stands out on stage without being flashy.

Tone & Performance

• Unplugged:

  • The Engelmann spruce top delivers a sweet, articulate high end, while the mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth.

  • The Venus body shape balances projection with intimacy — loud enough for strumming, but responsive for fingerpicking.

  • The sustain and clarity are excellent, particularly for open tunings.

• Plugged in:

  • The Fishman INK3 system produces a natural, clear amplified sound with plenty of EQ control for live settings.

  • Handles both solo performance and band mixes well — cutting through without sounding harsh.

• Playability:

  • The neck is slim and comfortable, making it accessible to both acoustic and electric players.

  • Cutaway design allows for high-fret access, great for lead lines or melodic fingerpicking.

Strengths

• All-solid wood construction — no laminates.

• Sleek and professional all-black “Eclipse” look.

• Versatile Venus body shape: works well for strumming, fingerpicking, and solo work.

• Excellent unplugged tone — bright but balanced.

• Reliable Fishman INK3 preamp system with tuner.

• High build quality and attention to detail.

The Faith Eclipse Venus FVEC is a professional-grade electro-acoustic that combines stunning aesthetics, rich tonal balance, and stage-ready electronics. Its all-solid construction ensures a mature, resonant sound that will only improve with age, while the Fishman system makes it reliable in live settings. This guitar is perfect for gigging musicians who want a high-quality instrument that looks as good as it sounds.
