I have been wanting a 12 string version of the Venus for a long time. I love the fact that it's the only Squier that had real Seymour Duncans designed just for it, it's build quality was superb for the price, and it isn't a typical looking intrument. I have always wanted an electric twelve string, and this guitar just fits my tastes. Not really into the 6 string version though. Wish Fender would reissue the Venus 12, but doubt that will EVER happen.... Definately the most unique electic 12 string fender has ever made...
