I sort of forgot to mention the wood attached. The pictures don’t really do it justice, it really is stunning “in the wood”, one of the best looking guitars I’ve seen. Saw it yesterday and had a go but had to rush to a meeting but found time to go back today and give it a proper go after reading every review that I could find (thanks jackorion) was planning to sleep on it and possibly pickup on Saturday when I had a legitimate reason to be passing but impatience got the better of me. When I got home and could hear it properly I nearly had a nasty surprise even though in tune it sounded wrong - but due to failing eyesight and the ha’penny bit sized onboard tuner display I’d managed to tune to DADG#A#D. Popped a Snark on and all’s well. Just need to get used to a longer scale and after neck but so far, so good.

Looks nice. Is it a Venus? Yes, Venus Blood Moon Nice one. I always think the Venus is Faith's most giggable guitar. Always had a soft spot for the Neptune though.

I've tried several Venus Faiths in PMT Cardiff and every one has been a great one. I've to many guitars and not enough money but I'd happily fins room if one were donated to me. Great choice.

Don’t worry Onechordtrick, we’d spotted it. Looks absolutely lovely - enjoy! (But for gawd’s sake, don’t ask leoroberts to write a song about your lovely blood moon venus.)

Best looking set of strings I've ever seen! A stunning looking guitar for the price level and by all accounts also good on quality and sound. Enjoy getting to know Ms Blood Moon. Mark

Mark I’m rebranding it as a “resonant string tensioner” hopefully i should get away with that. She’s back tomorrow so if you don’t hear from me it didn’t go as well as planned. Sounds as good as it looks, just need to work on the weak link in the equation.

Well, I survived although to be fair, online bluster excepted, we have our own money and don’t question how we spend it. I took advantage of her absence to spend my spare time playing. Still getting used to the longer scale and fatter neck but loving it! Setup was perfect out of the box; they’re made in Indonesia and then checked at Faith HQ in Shropshire before being sent to the dealers. Lots of lovely touches like ebony tuner buttons.
