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 Type R2
A lover of science fiction, Leo subtly uses ambiguity again: This guitar looks futuristic, but it also reminds us of “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…”
Its geometry is robotic, but the subtle curves are almost feminine. The body of the “Type R2” emerges from the interaction of different volumes and levels, all hand-carved. The back of the neck is the result of long triangular shapes. The oxidation of the pickguard is a masterful example of a process called relicing (pronounced “relicking”), resembling the marks of liquid dripping from a fuel tank’s cap for decades.
