| In 1995, Courtney Love (yes, she of Kurt Cobain and Hole) designed the Fender Venus, which was then made by the Fender US Custom Shop. From 1997 to 1999 (?) the model was then made into the Squier Vista series Venus model. Arguably the only Fender/Squier guitar to out-ugly the Jag-Stang (oops, perhaps I shouldn't have said that :-). Typical specifications include through-body strings, bridge humbucker, neck single-coil, moto pickguard ('moto' is short for 'MOther of TOiletseat', I kid you not). | |||
