Enjoy legendary MIDAS build quality
At MIDAS, small channel counts doesn't equate to compromised performance or a lackluster feature set. From its road-tough build and top-drawer components to its unmistakable MIDAS sound, the VeniceF is all about pro quality. The frame is typical MIDAS steel section construction, designed for life on the road. Pots are metal-shafted, individually nutted to the steel fascia panel. And decked out in classic MIDAS livery, the MIDAS VeniceF16R looks as good as it's built.
