Veleno

[Phosphene Audio]

Rundgren said in a 70's Guitar Player interview that he had to quit using his Veleno because it went out of tune every time the stage lights changed. not enough mass. nobody seems to have had similar problems with Travis Beans.

I had an EGC for about 2 weeks and I couldn't keep it in tune for the life of me. I was so relieved when I sold it.

was it a temperature thing, or did the nut setup and tuners just suck?

I think temperature. I had the repair guy I use go over the nut and he couldn't;t find anything.

Obviously, lots of folks get good results out of those guitars. I think I am too impatient.

I know a guy who sold his Veleno to Vincent Gallo and got a hassle from that weirdass as part of the deal.

well, fuck me in the ass and call me Rita. who would have expected that?

It may be a chemical problem too as it is 70s Todd...

it's a reference to "Yes" by Manic Street Preachers:

"he's a boy
you want a girl so chop off his cock
tie his hair in bunches, fuck him
call him Rita if you want"



i find humor and irony in the weirdest places.

i'll tell you what's weird: watching them play this on live clips and seeing thousands of people singing along.
