I've gone to a few shows where random openers had this guitar, and i've always wanted to know who makes it. So far i've seen a solid body, and a semi-acoustic.

Reminds me of those old Kramer aluminum neck guitars from the 80's but the headstock was more like a tuning fork. Perhaps you should look for what guitars out there featured aluminum necks and you may find this one, that is if it's an aluminum neck after all.

bahah!

Aluminium guitars are cool. I bet it has a similar feel to a resonator guitar, even though just the neck is metal.I can imagine how annoying it would be to make those necks rather than solid wooden ones.

I doubt they're too hard to make if they use a CNC mill or something.

i saw a video of people making aluminum bowls... and they took a giant plate of aluminum and spun it REALLLLY fast, and then like... pressed things into the sides so it would fold in... sooooo coool.

i believe that the guitar is, or CAN be that Travis bean guitar, or even an early Kramer guitars. though they stoped making those aluminum neck guitars in i believe 1982. pity...i would love to own one of those, only with a rhandy roads body though!
