Anyone run across one of these suckers?

I like the split pickups.

Sublimedo and Rochello have one here. It's a lovely li'l thing.

And individually intonating saddles are a nice plus0 even my Ric 360-12 doesn't have.

I love the Venus, 6 and 12 string. The chances of finding on in the UK are probably zero these days though, I would imagine they are mostly in the hands of collectors these days.

I'd love a venus. Actually, I'd love two of them.

There's a brand new one hanging in the wall of a shop down the street from me. Plastics never been off it, probably never been played. Just hanging there since its introduction. black 6 string variety, $300 bones.

i dont like how the ferrules fan out and are at some crazy angle. itd look better with a musicmaster bridge or something.

also, this is one of my fave headstocks evar. its alot like a coronado stock, i think.

That's amazing, you should get it and sell it in the future...or you could just keep it. It must be pretty rare now to find a new Venus.

ALSO +1 to the Venus being better than the Jag-Stang. Courtney knows her shit (if she really did any designing).

She was right. Actually, everything about her was just plain better than Kurt. Look at her now; she survived, and I bet she's shot a whole lotta shit more than he ever did since he died. The world would be worse without her.

I've posted this lovely gal quite a bit. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of the collection:

Her guitar is wonderful. She is a walking disease. The only good thing about her is that I don't have to hear about her antics at all anymore.
