what makes a venus a venus
From 5.5 pounds
Weight is the spec nobody talks about, and the one you feel two hours in. Every Venus starts at 5.5 pounds — light enough to play a full set without the fatigue.
01
A 24-inch scale
Less reach to the first fret, less stretch across a chord, and nothing given up in tone.
02
Contoured to your body
The hourglass shape isn't styling. It's cut to sit against you instead of fighting you — the reason a Venus feels right the moment you pick it up.
03
MAKE IT YOURS
The Quick-Swap pickguard comes off and goes back on without tools. Four shapes, eighteen colors. Change it for a gig, a mood, or a season.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
If this is your first serious electric, the Revolution at $799. It's the entry point to the lineup, not a beginner compromise — same 24" scale, same hourglass contour, same Quick-Swap system as the Elites, and the widest color range.
Step up to the Elite or Dark Roast when you want a USA-built instrument: figured roasted maple, DiMarzio pickups, a premium tremolo, and Luminlay side dots that glow onstage.
-
Because it's a different instrument, not a nicer version of the same one.
The Revolution is built in Indonesia with a White Jabon body and a fixed bridge.
The Elite and Dark Roast are built in the USA with a roasted basswood body and figured maple cap, a torrefied purpleheart fretboard, DiMarzio pickups, and a US-made tremolo. Same shape, same ergonomics, different build.
-
No. Full-size, full-featured — dual humbuckers with coil-splitting, stainless steel frets, a compound-radius fretboard, and the same ergonomic design as every Venus.
It's built to take you from your first chord to playing out, not to be outgrown in a year.
-
Guitar Player's reviewer put the adjustment at about twenty minutes, after which it stopped feeling different and started feeling right.
A 25.5" scale spaces the frets further apart and puts the strings under higher tension. At 24", the frets sit closer together and the strings are easier to press and bend — bends that take real effort on a standard-scale guitar come easily on a Venus.
-
More than almost any other spec, and almost nobody talks about it.
Ergonomic guidance suggests women carry no more than about 5% of their body weight on one shoulder for extended periods — roughly half the guideline for men.
For a 140-pound player, that's about 7 pounds. Every Venus is between 5.5 and 6.25.
Women also have less soft tissue over the collarbone, so a heavy guitar doesn't just tire your muscles — it presses on bone.
-
No tools, no expertise. Quick-Swap changes your pickguard in under ten seconds — four shapes, eighteen colors.
The Elite and Dark Roast add the Amulet system: swappable medallions for the headstock, body, and SuperStrap.
The Revolution has a fixed metal headstock amulet.
-
They're designed for women — that's the whole point, and it's why the scale, weight, and contours are what they are. But smaller frames aren't gendered, and neither is comfort.
Plenty of players buy a Venus for the simple reason that a 5.5-pound guitar that fits beats a 9-pound one that doesn't.
-
Send it back. Venus offers a 7-day satisfaction guarantee with a full refund and return shipping covered.
You can't know how a guitar sits against your body from a photo — which is exactly why the policy exists.

Revolution and Elite (Blue Morpho and Pearl) ship from stock.
Dark Roast 5A Top may have a short lead time, generally 1–6 weeks; we'll confirm your ship date after you order.
