The Veleno guitars were built in St. Petersburgh, Florida beginning in 1974. Their claim to fame was an "Almag 35" neck that "was not subject to change due to humidity or temperature" and a body "machined from 2 solid aircraft structural aluminum blocks". The theory of the aluminum body was that it was shielded from any/all outside, electrical interference.
