Want a fretboard with compound radius for a lower string action? Or perhaps you'd like to experience Lospennato's 'Salt and Pepper' controls - these are on-board sound processing controls that you won't find in any other guitar. And wait until you hear about 'Chili', or Leo's Freedom Neck, a new, unique, ergonomic guitar neck shape. In Leo Lospennato's approach, innovation is not only possible; it is necessary.
The Lospennato RadioStar 1939
A few years ago, they found a real, honest-to-God bomb just a few steps away from Leo’s door.
Such a thing is not unusual in Berlin. When they dig in the walkway to repair a broken pipe or install some new telephone lines, they frequently find unexploded artifacts from World War II. In this case, it was a 250 lbs., British-made bomb, one of the thousands dropped by the Allied forces that air-raided Berlin in February of 1945.
A bomb squad quickly defused the device, but the construction workers left behind a nice piece of spruce that Leo promptly converted into this awesome electric guitar.
The most eye-catching feature is the pickguard, made from the panel of an old Motorola radio from that era (1939, hence the name), a remembrance of the terrible days that still haunt this city from time to time.
