psw Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 You might want to look at what metalcarver has done like this: Metal Carver's Aluminium Alien Also, check out his web site metalcarver.com to see how these gillet guitars were made! I think aluminium guitars actually have a lot of potential...plus they look cool! I'm working (slowly) on a guitar that will have a light weight, resonant timber core and aluminium cladding front and back...so it's a kind of hybrid. The aluminum sheet will be bent into an arch. I've also got ideas for a future design which will be made of pressed aluminium with a core of expanded polyurethane foam to make it less like a tin can. Good luck with you're idea...and welcome to Project Guitar oldnslow By the way...I'm in Melbourne Nice to have you aboard pete / psw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
