Um... It's the Venus, her sig guitar? I can see the confusion though. Obviously Fender/ Squier wouldn't produce a sig model that didn't have the Fender/ Squier headstock and they probably used different p/ups to keep the price down.
I heard that it was some little known guitar teh kurdtz bought for her in some pawn shop and that the venus was then based off of.

Yeah, there's some guitar that she ripped off that I'm sure Jcyphe could tell us about, but the details are lost in the vaults of my brain box.

There was already a thread about this that now of course isn't showing up in searches.
Where the fuck are all the threads going?

You should try using google to search the forums, it's what I do 'cause the forum search is pish. type in your search terms then type site:www.shortscale.org to only get results from shortscale. You can't search the pub though 'cause that's hidden to Google.
Ah, right. So the one with the gumby headstock is actually the original guitar she based it on.

Yeah, I prefer the original. The headstock looks weird and small on the Squier, like a Beadle hand headstock.

Having just received one from Cooter, I can safely say the DO NOT smell like Courtney's private area.

There's one I've been eyeing for years at bills music house in baltimore. No one's ever picked it up except for me and the price still hasn't come down.
$349...

this is when you make an offer. (well, not now, per se, just when you're not buying a mustang with a p90. )

The venus is low on my want list right now. It's more of if I see a great deal on one I'd grab it. but I'm not overly bonared about it.
It's a nice player, but wouldn't be one of my mains.
