Add to Compare2016 Lospennato Miss Blues Steampunk, Alder
Straight out of far, far, far left field, we’ve got a steampunk distortion provocateur affectionately dubbed Miss Blues from electric guitar whiz kid Leo Lospennato. With a built-in knob to dial in distortion from plain jane’s “none,” all the way to “nuclear,” it’s clear that with a twitch of the dial your tone will plunge from the clean and lofty into the depths of chaotic distortion. Fun, much?
The Alder body is finished with vintage and steampunk flair, comes with a piezo bridge pickup to supplement the Dimarzio Bluesbucker (flip up the pickguard to access the battery compartment!). With a piece this unique, your tone (to say nothing of visual flair) is guaranteed to stand apart from the crowd. They’ll want to stay back, lest Miss Blues devour them in a distortion fugue!
other spellings: lospennoto, laspennato, laspentno, lospenanto, steam punk, dmiarzio
Leo Lospennato was born in Buenos Aires in ’68 -at the heart of an Italian family. He lives in Berlin with his wife Andrea and with Tango, their black miniature schnauzer.
The son of a technician and an artist, Leo became a bit of both things. Curious by nature and inspired by a Rennaissance spirit, he became an engineer at IBM, a magazine editor, a journalist, an artist, and the author of the modern, seminal books on guitar making. Truth be told, that “Renaissance spirit” also manifests as a shameless affair that he maintains with Italian cuisine—a mix of heritage and hobby.
But in the whole of this history, the one constant is his passion for the ancient art of creating musical instruments, an infatuation that began when he put together his first bass when he was 16.
The sound of a string vibrating for the first time; the magic of creating something out of nothing; the never ending search for beauty, for meaning, for perfection. Being a luthier does not requires more than that. Nor anything less.
