Is seven years a long time? -an anniversary present

Sublimedo · Post by **Sublimedo** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 11:15 am

I'm not talking about the Swing Hailey song. It's going to be a long time before we even think about buying any other guitars (several pending projects notwithstanding) so for Rochelle and me's 7 year anniversary we went out for a sorta bang and got each other a present. We're not the biggest Courtney Love fans, but this baby is awesome

FCUK!!!! awsome geeter tho, courtney love is... well you know, but that is sweet, binding, 12 strings, split pups.
very cool indeed.

Looks keen!

That's a really really clean example. The neck binding is really nice and that bridge is a work of art.

complete truth. all 12 strings are intonatable.

That is just so nice. I reckon all that guitar need is Burns TriSonics.....

i don't think theyll fit....

i rather like the split pickups, personally

It was a joke. I have a Baldwin Double Six with the Burns Trisonics - it needs that bridge.

does anyone know if they make an issue of that bridge?
i love how you can press the saddle together so they don't raddle/move.
anyone?
i found some on ebay that i put in my project thread but no one posted anything about them.
it woudl be ace to score a back plate and a bridge like this tho!

Maybe in Rob's Fender parts thread link?

That bridge is a wonderful piece of design. Let's not forget lovely taken photographs too.

i liked the venus' that i've played. They felt really nice..

The 12 string version looks so much more comfortable in it's skin that the 6 stringer.

weird i always thought the 12 string looked a bit too much... THe sea-foam green venus is the only one that looks amazing the black one looks okay, and the sunburst is just total shit.

i always thought it interesting how krist novaselic used the venus 12 string in his sweet 75 band post nirvana.
