Faith Naked Venus Cutaway Electro Black Stain FKVBK - electro-acoustic guitar

Faith Naked Venus Cutaway Electro Black Stain FKVBK is an electro-acoustic guitar from the Naked , designed for guitarists looking for an instrument made of solid wood, with a lively sound and a raw, minimalist aesthetic in a darker, more stage-ready version.The model is based on the award-winning design Faith Naked Venus , but features a striking Black Stain , which highlights the natural character of the wood rather than hiding it under a full-coverage varnish.

The guitar is made of solid Engelmann spruce for the top and solid mahogany for the back and sides.This combination offers the clarity, dynamism, and lively attack of spruce, complemented by the warmth, midrange, and musicality of mahogany.The satin finish allows the wood to resonate freely, giving the instrument a lively, open character that matures over time.

Venus Body - Comfort and Versatile Sound

Shape Venus is one of the three original Faith body styles introduced when the brand launched in 2002.The lower part of the body is 15" , and its slightly shallower design makes the instrument comfortable to play for long periods without sacrificing projection, richness, and acoustic power.

Cutout cutaway facilitates access to higher frets, which is why the FKVBK is ideal not only for accompaniment but also for melodic parts, fingerstyle, and solo playing.This is a very versatile guitar for singer-songwriters, live performers, acoustic guitarists, and anyone looking for a single instrument for home, studio, rehearsals, and performances.

Solid Engelmann spruce and solid mahogany

Top panel made of solid Engelmann spruce provides brightness, selectivity, a fast attack, and good responsiveness to dynamic playing.This wood works well for both fingerstyle playing and harder strumming, offering clear chord definition and natural resilience.

Back and sides made of solid mahogany add warmth, focus, and a clear midrange to the sound.Combined with a spruce top, this results in a very versatile instrument: clear, but not cold; warm, but still well-defined.The manufacturer states that the top of this model is made of solid Engelmann spruce, while the back and sides are made of solid Indonesian mahogany.

Black Stain - natural black instead of opaque nail polish

Variant Black Stain features a black-stained finish on the body and neck.This is not a traditional, opaque finish—the manufacturer has used a wood stain, allowing the natural grain and color of the wood to continue to influence the instrument’s final appearance.

Because spruce and mahogany absorb stain differently, individual parts of the guitar may vary in shade and intensity of black.Mahogany typically takes on a deeper and more even stain, while spruce can develop dark green or “denim-like” patches in some areas resulting from the combination of black dye with the wood’s natural golden hue.This is an intentional effect that makes each piece look slightly different and preserves the organic character of real wood.

The Naked Series—simplicity, resonance, and direct contact with the instrument

Series Naked was conceived as a more minimalist, straightforward line from Faith.The instruments in this series do away with some of the decorative elements, focusing instead on construction, comfort, and sound.As a result, the guitar maintains a clean, simple look while still featuring a solid-wood construction and refined functional elements.

The entire instrument is finished in two-stage satin finish.This type of finish does not restrict the wood’s natural behavior as much as thicker, harder varnishes, which enhances the top’s lively response, the openness of the sound, and the instrument’s natural aging over time.The manufacturer emphasizes that the satin finish allows the solid wood to move and resonate more freely.

Functional Details and Accessories

The Faith FKVBK retains the minimalist style of the Naked series but features high-quality components designed for everyday play.The fingerboard, bridge, and bridge pins are made of Indonesian ebony , and on the 12th.On the threshold is a distinctive Faith marker shaped like the letter F made of mother-of-pearl.

The guitar features a mahogany neck and a bolt-on neck joint Patrick James Eggle Bolt-On Design , a two-way truss rod, and a saddle and bridge , hand-profiled quarter-sawn spruce frets, and chrome tuners Faith Precision Chrome.

Fishman Presys 1 Electronics

The Faith Naked Venus Black Stain FKVBK is equipped with the Fishman Presys 1 with a Fishman Sonicore under the saddle.The preamp features volume control, contour control, a phase switch, and a built-in tuner, making the guitar ready for rehearsals, recordings, live performances, and use with a PA system.

The phase switch helps reduce feedback on stage, and the tuner makes it easy to tune quickly without having to use a separate device.The headphone jack is integrated into the belt clip, and the battery compartment is located separately, making it easy to access during everyday use.

Cover included

The set includes a padded case with handles, shoulder straps, and a pocket for accessories.This is a practical solution for transporting your instrument on a daily basis to lessons, rehearsals, jam sessions, or smaller performances.If you use the instrument more frequently for concerts, you may want to consider a hard case for added protection.
