I read that this thing was designed by Courtney Love, I guess it only ran for like 2 years

I think its really ugly, it looks like a strat got ran over

she had a bunch of them on a tour, she would give one away at the end of a concert.

later on, there were some with just a single coil in the neck.

the singer from Kula Shaker used the 12string version.

i think they are pretty darn ugly

They're not the prettiest of things granted but for me, thats part of the charm. Also they are part of the Vista series that also include the original JagMaster and the rather superb SuperSonic so its a win from me.

Yeah they're ugly but that's what's appealing to me too. That bound neck with the angled heel is rad. These are GREAT quality guitars.

NathanStang75

Well said that man.

You really think anybody on here doesn't know about that guitar?

🙄

Looks like he spends as much time on Wikapedia as he does on here.

Any way, i'd have one just for the hell of it, if i could afford one that is.

there's one of each on ebay right now. the 6string has buyitnow for 433$

I think the 12 looks cooler and probably has better pickups.

I'm not a fan, they are just too weird for me. They look like a mishmash of a whole bunch of other guitars. The colours are yuck too. It might look better in Grafitti Yellow, or especially CAR.

Of the Vista series, I only really like the Jagmaster and the Musicmaster. The rest are just a bout too outre' for my tastes.

But the: ''Super-Sonic'' = W.I.N. 😁

Looks great, but the controls are totally impactical.

Shouldn't have to rest your arm on the tone control 😀

NathanStang75

😕 not sure i understand..

There is no tone control on these magnificent guitars,

Does it just have 2 volume controls??? I didn't know that.

I actually had the design wrong in my mind. I thought the controls were on the upper bout...

I have always wanted a Venus 12 string version. I played 1 back in the mid 90's and liked it, but thought it overpriced for a Squier.

It does mate yes. A bit strange but kinda cool.

Good Sqiuers though. Build quality is excellent.

Yeah the 2 volumes are actually really nice! It makes it a lot like a Gibson where you can easily have the two pups running at different volume levels and just. It helps in live playing with dynamics.

And I'm not just saying it's so great cause I'm trying to sell one 😆

NathanStang75

Explain again the desire to sell the worlds most awesome guitar?

I love my Venus. It has the nicest neck of any guitar I own.
