Faith Naked Venus Cedar

This second hand acoustic guitar is in very good condition

A couple of dents on the body , otherwise great.

The Naked Venus Cedar is one of the warmest, most responsive guitars in Faith’s lineup. The combination of an all‑solid cedar top, mahogany back and sides, and the ultra‑thin Naked satin finish gives it a beautifully open, expressive, and immediate voice. It’s a superb choice for fingerstyle players, singer‑songwriters, and anyone who wants a guitar that feels alive under a light touch.
