Tom Bukovac and Julian Raymond discuss the legacy of the innovative Veleno Guitars and the historic relaunch of the Veleno brand.
We at Rumble Seat Music are excited to announce that we will be participating in the historic relaunch of the Veleno brand! John Veleno produced around 200 of the world's first aluminum guitars between the pivotal years of 1970 -1978. The original line was owned by the likes of Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Todd Rundgren, Gregg Allman, Ace Frehley and many more. John's contribution to the foundational years of Rock n' Roll history cannot be overstated. After decades of being relegated to the bounds of myth and lure, the Veleno Family is proud to reintroduce the legendary guitars of their father's making, allowing a legacy to live on!
These new guitars have been carefully designed and expertly crafted to be faithful and accurate recreations of the originals. With immediate attack, bright and crisp tonal dynamics and full body resonance, the "Next Gen" is truly an homage to the originals with a few extra perks. One of the most exciting of these perks is the reengineered neck. The innovative design includes a hollow chamber through the entire neck allowing for each note to resonate through the body and all the way up the neck. This creates much more sustain and resonance as well as a one-of-a-kind experience to play! The necks are machined with extreme precision allowing for a smoother, more comfortable feel than the originals as well as a much more consistent product. All of this is done while maintaining the exact look and aesthetic of the originals.
These guitars will be available in highly limited runs of 3-6. Two from this run have already sold and a third custom pre-order is on the way! We plan to have even more exciting news about our partnership with Veleno in the coming months so stay tuned and feel free to get in touch with us about any questions you might have.
