Frank Stallone Launches New Guitar Company

The company's first model is the Tiger, a dual-humbucker design that features a mahogany body and maple veneer top.

Roseville, CA (November 1, 2019) -- Golden Globe and Grammy-nominated artist, Frank Stallone, has launched a new guitar company called FrankStalloneGuitars.com. The company’s mission is to provide high-quality electric guitars at a budget-friendly price, distributed exclusively online. The first electric guitar to be released is called the Tiger.

Frank Stallone explained, “Our idea is to come up with a guitar that I would have not one problem playing on stage and touring with. And that’s what we’re offering to the public - a reasonably priced, professional-quality guitar that any guitar player can afford. We want to be the catalyst that helps people enjoy their passion for playing guitars.”

“We want to do for guitars what Amazon.com has done for consumer goods - put together a very efficient supply chain and pass the savings on to consumers.”, said Gary “GJ” Panepinto, CEO of FrankStalloneGuitars.com.

FrankStalloneGuitars.com is launching through a pre-order campaign, called “BAND TOGETHER.” By using its customer pre-orders to fund its initial batch of guitars, instead of raising money from traditional investors, the company can plow profits otherwise taken by investors and put that into inventory and customer service. This model helps keeps pricing as low as possible.

FrankStalloneGuitars.com is founded by award-nominated musician and performer, Frank Stallone, and his business partner, Gary “GJ” Panepinto, a financial services executive and guitar lover. The company started as a passion project to make high-quality guitars affordable to guitar players of all levels.

Know what a wavefolder does to your guitar signal? If you don’t, that’s okay. I didn’t either until I started messing around with the all-analog Cosmodio Instruments Gravity Well. It’s a dual-effect pedal with a tremolo and wavefolder, the latter more widely used in synthesis that , at a certain threshold, shifts or inverts the direction the wave is traveling—in essence, folding it upon itself. Used together here, they make up what Cosmodio calls a sonic refractor.

Does the type of finish on an electric guitar—whether nitro, poly, or oil and wax—really affect its tone?

There’s an allure to the sound and feel of a great electric guitar. Many of us believe those instruments have something special that speaks not just to the ear but to the soul, where every note, every nuance feels personal. As much as we obsess over the pickups, wood, and hardware, there’s a subtler, more controversial character at play: the role of the finish. It’s the shimmering outer skin of the guitar, which some think exists solely for protection and aesthetics, and others insist has a role influencing the voice of the instrument. Builders pontificate about how their choice of finishing material may enhance tone by allowing the guitar to “breathe,” or resonate unfettered. They throw around terms like plasticizers, solids percentages, and “thin skin” to lend support to their claims. Are these people tripping? Say what you will, but I believe there is another truth behind the smoke.
