The Rich Warmth of Tradition

You know when something just feels right. When you look at an object and instinctively understand its purpose. Such is the case with the Classic Burst guitars. Based on tried and true body shapes, the use of Solid Red Cedar and Solid Mahogany ensures the production of a mellow and vocal tone, whether strummed or picked. If you like your guitars a little more traditional and low-key, you'll also love the slightly wider nut too. The extra 2mm offers just a little more space and a feel just a bit closer to a vintage or antique instrument.

Which tonewoods are used and why?

Which tonewoods are used and why?

Classic Burst models' tonal qualities are just as impressive as their visual ones thanks to the use of a classic pairing of Red Cedar and Mahogany: one of Patrick's favourite combinations. Cedar, which is somewhat less stiff than Spruce, is naturally mellow, and when matched with Mahogany produces a sound that emphasises the lower midrange, delivering a wonderfully warm, vocal quality.

How does it all come together?

Classic Burst guitars have a 45mm nut which is just that little wider than most Faith Guitar nuts. This gives the guitar a little more of a traditional feel and a little more space between the strings at the headstock end of the neck: a feature loved by traditional fingerpickers. The top has a three-tone burst finish, based on deep browns, reds and amber and is finished with a gloss lacquer.

The mahogany back has a deep stain applied, which is complemented by the solid Ebony Binding and solid Ebony fittings.

Amplification of this your Classic Burst beauty is possible thanks to the Fishman S-tone pickup system which features an undersaddle piezo pickup, controlled by an active Volume and Tone control mounted just under the edge of the soundhole. This system is super-discreet, keeping the instrument’s traditional aesthetic firmly intact.

The Classic Burst Venus (FVSB45) features the Fishman INK3 preamp and s-core pickup system. The undersaddle piezo pickup is controlled by a side-mounted, flush-fitting preamp with 3 band EQ and a built-in tuner. The output socket is mounted into the end of the guitar with an ingeniously integrated battery box and separate strap button.
