The Faith HiGloss series has consistently aimed to offer a harmonious blend of visual elegance and captivating sound. With the introduction of the HiGloss-3 update, we are confident that these exceptional instruments will continue to inspire musicians across generations.

The HiGloss-3 series incorporates a more sustainable design, featuring a 3-piece solid rosewood back. This modification ensures the long-term availability of these highly popular models while preserving the tonal richness and visual appeal that enthusiasts associate with the HiGloss series. Utilizing high-grade Englemann Spruce for the top and employing highly-figured, 3-piece Rosewood bound in Flamed Maple for the back and sides, HiGloss-3 models also showcase solid Flamed Maple binding on the front. Additionally, stripy Indonesian Ebony is used for the fingerboard, bridge, headplate, and heelcap.

Sonically, this combination of woods produces a bright and zingy tone, characterized by great clarity. If represented as a frequency curve, it would resemble a smile—accentuated in the bass, dipping through the middle, and rising again at the top end. This tonal profile facilitates enhanced string separation and articulation, making it particularly suitable for fingerstyle and solo performances.

Equipped with the refined Fishman INK3 preamp system and Sonicore piezo pickup beneath the saddle, this Faith Guitar ensures a high-quality amplified performance. The preamp includes a chromatic tuner, 3-band EQ, and volume control. The output jack, ingeniously located at the base of the guitar as part of the easy-access battery compartment, adds to the instrument's practicality. Every HiGloss series Faith Guitar comes complete with a Faith Hardcase.

The Venus, an iconic shape that played a pivotal role in establishing Faith Guitars in the consciousness of numerous players, features a 15" lower bout and a slimmer body depth. Drawing inspiration from classic OM or Auditorium body-shapes, the Venus strikes the perfect compromise. Recognized as 'The UK's Best Acoustic Guitar' at the MIA Music Awards in 2013, the Naked Venus delivers a substantial acoustic performance while remaining comfortably maneuverable for stage performers.
