This guy wanted to recreate the sound of Albiz' Veleno as used by Kurt Cobain, but he could not afford a Veleno, so he made one. It looks absolutely amazing, and he will make one for you too, but not with the big V headstock.

Ummmm. Guy did a really good job, not that I know anything about Veleenos.

I still find this guy’s whole deal a little strange. I mean I loved, loved, Nirvana as a pup. I still like those albums. Got me into playing guitar, actually. But I find this guy’s devotion to Kurt-Tone kinda uncomfortable. He even talks about feeling stagnant doing the same riffs video after video.

Yes, In Utero sounds great, and I know folks have obsessed over countless rockstar guitar sounds. That also always seemed kinda lame to me. IDK.

People spending thousands of dollars and/or hours to tone-zone Nirvana is wild

Yeah, and some of those sounds he was losing his shit to were like "..really?" Still, pretty cool project, and I hope people take him up on building more.

Totally, its very cool. Machinists need a renaissance in appreciation for their craft. I feel like any day that someone hands me something made out of metal, I should be calling the news.

Steve sold the Veleno!

Huh. There was one there as late as 2022 when I was last there or is that a different one? I doodled around on one several times (respectfully) over the years not really thinking that it could have been worth 50 grand or whatever. Geez, value is a weird thing.
