They don't make them anymore and are impossible to find but they sure look interesting. Aluminum guitars. haha awsome.

Interesting concept but horrible looking guitars, I like the neck profile on this one though:

Kramer used to make guitars and basses with aluminum necks that would sustain forever.

Why did they stop making aluminum necked guitars?

I agree with Soeru, does the resonance is good with aluminium?

On the site it has reviews and stuff. And surprisingly the sustain is very good.

Yeah it's metal after all. Strange that a metal like aluminum that isn't very dense would have that kind of sustain. Imagine how much a stainless steel guitar would sustain(and WEIGH).

I would still love to try one. Regardless of the swiss cheese look. I still would love to own one. Eccept they are indeed impossible to find.

LOL I wonder if Ran would make a guitar like this haha imagine the cost!

I like Holdsworth's tone(s) as well... I assume though he doesn't get carbon for the necks of his Carvin Signatures...?

Yeah they're immensely bassy.

Bright: clear and trebley.

if you want to grab an aluminum guitar that doesnt look like it has pimples, then why not go for a tokai talbot(or whatever the fuck its called)?
