[1] At the time of its release, Love and Bonnie Raitt were the only two female musicians to have their own signature series of guitars.

Shirley Manson from Garbage played a custom pink Squier Venus live.

Ryan Jarman from UK band The Cribs, a friend of Love's, used the surf green version of the guitar as his main instrument between 2011 and 2015.

[3] According to George, Babbitt snuck backstage at a Nirvana concert in Atlanta in November 1993 and sold the original custom metallic-green Mercury guitar on which the Venus design was eventually based to Love.

[4] The 6-string Venus model is virtually identical to Love's Mercury guitar, except with a Fender Stratocaster-like headstock.
