The Lindo Venus – Designed in Bristol, U.K, by Lindo Guitars
The Lindo Venus electro-acoustic guitar is, appropriately, based around the planet Venus, where the planet’s surface is a hot and hellish place. It is also the second planet from the sun and named for the Roman Goddess of love and beauty. The Lindo Venus explores the latest in guitar design and manufacturing techniques and takes inspiration from NASA’s surface imagery. The visual atmosphere of this scorching, inhospitable planet transforms this guitar into a thing of awe and intrigue.
Tonewoods
The Venus has a spruce top, linden back and sides, a rosewood bridge and a catalpa neck. The fretboard is rosewood and has 20 frets. As an acoustic guitar, it is important for the tone to be warm and resonant and the Lindo Venus does not disappoint. The slimmer body not only provides excellent player comfort, but you’ll still hear solid bass notes and crisp highs.
Features and Benefits
The stylish black machine heads ensure stable, reliable tuning and are easy to use. The intonation-compensated bridge saddle provides accurate notes across the fretboard. The fret markers on the fretboard include offset mini dots and a special planet inlay at the 12th fret. There are also black fret dot markers for a visual aid on the side of the neck.
F-4T Preamplifier
Connect to an amplifier and tune your guitar digitally via the on-board F-4T preamplifier. The preamp has controls for the bass, middle, treble, presence and master volume. Addtionally, the tuner has automatic and manual tuning modes.
Play live or record music at home, the dual ¼” jack and balanced XLR outputs allow for connection to an amplifier, mixing desk and audio interface. The LCD is backlit and the LEDs also illuminate when a note is sharp or flat. Therefore, the F-4T’s interface is very clear and easy to use in all lighting conditions.
Suitable for all levels of player, the Venus is the ideal guitar for learning, gigging or just going to a friend’s to jam.

Already own a Lindo ‘Skulls’ guitar (which I think is fab!) which I keep downstairs in my house….when I saw the Lindo Venus available for £139.99 I bought one for my bedroom. First off, when I bought my first Lindo guitar, I did so from Amazon, and it had a large outer box around the smaller guitar box, the Lindo Venus I bought direct from Lindo themselves, and it only had the guitar box. I prefer the way Amazon well protected the guitar with the larger outer box as well. When I opened the box, I found a string winder in the box, in an opened padded padded envelope….I do not think it should have been there. Also, a gripe I had with the Lindo Skulls, a bag with no padding at all, I would prefer a cheaper guitar with no bag, or pay the extra for a good padded bag….that is all the negative.
The Venus deserves it’s name, it looks lovely, and the more I am playing it, the more I like it. I will also say that for me, it looks more striking in my home in real life than it does online in pictures. If I am honest, I still do prefer the Skulls, but this is also a very good guitar, and certainly well worth the money asked. Like the Skulls it is easy to play, and hard to put down. Anyone looking for a good, playable guitar that is not going to break them will be happy with the Lindo Venus, I know I am.

I bought this guitar not from Amazon but direct from the manufacturer.
It’s a fantastic guitar to play with low easy action and stunning looks.
I’d contacted Lindo a couple of times with questions and they couldn’t be more helpful.
I look forward to many happy years playing this stunning guitar.

I have been wanting to learn how to play guitar for some rime now and Lindo was recommended by my brother who is a Lindo fan. The feel and sound of this guitar is just great and I would highly recommend any beginner or more advanced player to check out Lindo guitars.

I’ve wanted a slim bodied guitar for a while now as I find reaching around to play the strings on my standard acoustic quite uncomfortable due to being quite little and the fact that certain appendages get in the way!
Delivery was a little slower than I would’ve liked, at around a week, I think this was due to the size of the item but it was frustrating to see that it had been dispatched pretty much straight away and then stayed with the carrier for 5 days.
The guitar was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition,already strung and ready to go straight away.
It’s such a good looking guitar, a gorgeous deep purple colour with a crisp clean sound, really comfortable feel and very nice to play. I’m having a lot of fun getting to know her!

I bought it direct from producers home page (lindoguitars.com) for my girlfriend as a gift. She is beginner, but she get a very fast progress, especially with this guitar. She was totally surprised and said that sound is totally different if compare with she`s old ones guitar! Materials and finishing and also color are excellent. The sound is living in ears for a long time. Guitar shipped very fast, just in couple of days. I strongly and highly recommended it.
