Lospennato TV-Star Steampunk

The Lospennato TV-Star “Steampunk” is a one-of-a-kind, boutique instrument with a decimononic flavour. The pickguard and the truss rod cover have been handmade with real, old cogs and clockwork parts: a Steampunk character for a modern instrument. Combining golden and chromed parts to accentuate its “old machinery” effect, the TV-Star is a Telly-inspired: single cut, vintage spirit, but with a more dynamic body shape. This guitar is a handmade, unique instrument.

G&L Fiorano GTS Trans Red

G&L Fiorano GTS

By 2012, New Release No Comments
The G&L Fiorano GTS is an instrument that’s steeped in rock-guitar history but groundbreaking. The Fiorano GTS is the first set-neck, 25½”-scale, three-tuners-to-a-side guitar G&L has ever offered. It’s a striking instrument and, quite simply, it kicks ass. It joins the pioneering 24¾”-scale Ascari in G&L’s Tribute Series, and it delivers on its promise. The 24-fret neck and Gagon-designed humbuckers are made for brutal riffing and detuned/drop-tuned heaviness – but the Fiorino cleans up beautifully when asked.

Suhr Modern Frost

By 2012, New Release No Comments

Introducing the Suhr Modern Frost series. Since the 1950’s, California car culture has heavily influenced guitar finishes. The Frost series is Suhr’s take on the current “Matte finish” trend. This finish has an uneven, textured surface which deflects light at different angles, causing it to appear matte. Never satisfied with the norm, Suhr developed a custom combination of matte and pearlescent paints to create an entirely new optical effect – “where matte meets shimmer”.
