Classic Burst

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.

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.

Your new Faith Classic Burst guitar comescomplete with a plush-lined hardcase, ideal for protecting your guitar whether at home awating its next practise session or whether travelling from gig to gig.
