2x NGD: Squier Venus XII, Ruby Baritone
As the title suggests, I’ve got two guitars on the way. Not sure when they’ll actually be here so I’m starting a thread early. If anyone wants to take a guess, one is European, one is Japanese, and neither is a standard six string.

My only guess is they’re 12 strings? No idea what brand they could be.

A Framus seven string, or a Duesenberg lap steel?
All pain and troubles melted away like lemon drops beyond the contrails across the sky.

The Japanese one is. I almost bought something of the same shape as it off a member here, who is living in the same country as the other guitar was made in.BoringPostcards wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 9:15 amMy only guess is they’re 12 strings? No idea what brand they could be.
European does go as low as a 7 string, but isn't one. The maker is kind of obscure, but there is a relatively big indie band whose singer plays a pink one.
I am kind of interested in lap steel, no clue why. Maybe next time .

Re: Incoming - 2x NGD
The European arrived while I was at work, and I’ve just spent 4 hours annoying the neighbours, so now it’s time to share.
It’s a Ruby Model 1 baritone, built in Berlin. Two mini hums and a P90, 26.5” scale length, and a fantastically comfy neck. It could do with being a little louder, but has a great clarity and the middle pickup with a RAT set with pretty low distortion gives a gorgeous very light overdrive where my other guitars are already pushing it into distortion.
Now waiting on the Japanese XII, which has been given to EVRI so who knows if it’ll ever make it here at all.

Well, number two has arrived.
Action is sky high so I’ll need to sort that out, but it sounds fantastic from some quick cowboy chordage. Previous owner used unison strings on the G so that’ll need changing too, but that’s minor. It’s also basically mint! Very happy week all around. The sell had a 6-string as well, probably some wiggle room on the price if it’s still on reverb.

I've been keeping a determined eye out for Venii (?) since failing to buy your old white one, it did feel like it had come full circle after I bought this and then saw the picture of you playing it's twin in the pictures of you with your guitars thread.

Very cool! I've never seen these before.
You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.
