"Near the end he began inquiring about metal neck guitars, after borrowing Steve Albini’s Veleno for several tracks on In Utero, and his being a fan of the Jesus Lizard and Duane Dennison’s extensive use of a Travis Bean."

This guitar owned by Steve Albini and used by Cobain to record "Very Ape" for the "In Utero" album. If you listen to the album & try to recreate the tone on the whole album with his jaguar it does not sound the sames the Veleno

This Veleno was refurbished by Kevin at Electrical Guitar Company in 2015. Kevin re-chromed the guitar, re-fretted, replaced the tuners and replaced the pickups with EGC pickups. He fabricated new pickup covers to fit them in the cutouts. He also did quite a bit of work on the electronics.

In this photo, you can see David Gilmour sat using a Veleno guitar, not sure what era it is but if I had a guess it would be druing the recording of Obscured By Clouds because the photo is from 1972.

Steve can be seen using his Veleno throughout this performance. It now stays in his studio (As can be seen here and in this Failure documentary at the 8:00 mark).

"His go-to guitars included a Gibson Les Paul Custom refinished in translucent orange, a black, tremequipped Flying V, a late-’60s Olympic White Fender Stratocaster, a Veleno aluminum ax, and a Burns Flyte..." - Guitar Player.

Jeff Rosenstock is seen using a Veleno Aluminum Guitar in a user-uploaded photo, which resembles the model famously used by Kurt Cobain.

In the music video for "Public Image" by Public Image Limited, Keith Levene plays the Veleno Aluminum Guitar, a model later nicknamed "the Leveno" in his honor.

In a post on the Electrical Audio forum in 2008, Gallo mentioned "In 1981 I purchased a Veleno for $475 from a dude named Jimmy who worked in the art department on the film All That Jazz". He is also also listed on the Wikipedia page for the guitar under the subheading "List of notable artists who own Veleno guitars".

Another photo of him playing the guitar from the back can be seen here: http://media.independent.com/img/photos/2008/10/06/PRJReview143-RRIICCEE-Credi_t479.jpg?ad14627618f647f3902aa65ed5ac8237c798b1ef

John Shanks showcases his Veleno Aluminum Guitar in a photo on his Instagram, highlighting its rarity and unique design.

It was Kurt Cobain who turned Erlandson on to what has become one of the Hole man's main guitars: an obscure Seventies model called Veleno, fabricated entirely of metal. "Kurt had always heard that [Nirvana producer] Steve Albini played this metal guitar and that's how he got all that sustain high end on the early Big Black records," says Erlandson. "So Kurt told me about this Veleno thing, and I said 'I'm going to look into it.' I found this shop in Tacoma, Washington, that had one. It was when Hole was recording Live Through This. I loved it. Pure sustain. I started looking around for more."

Today, Erlandson owns three Velenos: one chrome-finish model with a Seymour Duncan pickup and two gold-finish ones with Seventies humbuckers. The chrome and one of the golds used to belong to Mick Mars of Mötley Crüe. "I bought them at this shop in the [San Fernando] Valley [an L.A. suburb]," says Eric. "Turns out Mick was dumping them because he had a big divorce."

Originally in Guitar World 1999

In this entry in its collection, the museum notes that it is an “ Electric guitar with carry case and accessories, used by the performer Ed Kuepper, in his solo career and in bands such as the Saints and The Laughing Clowns. All aluminium electric 6 string guitar, machined out of 2 solid pieces of aluminium screwed together to form the front and back of the guitar. The headstock is cut away in shape of a stylised “V” for “Veleno”. Manufacturing information is engraved in to the back of the headstock: “Veleno Instrument Co”. Dimensions: 37mm high X 323mm wide X 1100mm high.” They further note that “The guitar has historic significance as the guitar Ed Kuepper used this guitar in his solo career, and prior to this in the bands The Saints and the Laughing Clowns. Both of these bands were extremely influential on the Australian music scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The guitar was bought by Ed Kuepper in 1977 in the U.K” and that “The guitar has aesthetic significance as the guitar is an unusual all aluminium electric 6 string guitar, machined out of 2 solid pieces of aluminium. The neck and headstock are also made from single piece of aluminium which is bolted onto the body. The body has a highly polished finish.”

The guitar is extremely rare, both in terms of material culture related to Australian 70s culture and as an example of a rare Valeno aluminium guitars.
