Materials:
Our Aluminum Master and Classic series guitar bodies are fabricated from 6061-T6 aluminum. 6061-T6 is a heat treatable alloy typically used for higher strength applications commercially. Therefore 6061 gives our product higher impact and dent resistance then most aluminum’s. Our Ultra-1100 series guitar bodies are fabricated from a combination of both 6061-T6 and 1100 aluminum. 1100 is the purest commercial grade aluminum available which in our application gives the Ultra-1100 guitar a warmer sound while still maintaining the rigidity and crisp sound of the 6061-T6 body structure.
Because our aluminum bodies are fully grounded to the bridge, strings and input jack they are as safe as the strings and bridge on any electric guitar. Aluminum also provides a complete RF shielding of the electronics making our guitars as hum canceling as physically possible.

Aluminum sound research:
The principles of the transference of sound through materials are based on Mass and Density.
Higher density will give a higher transference of pitch. In the case of solid and hollow body guitars we know that more porous (lower density) woods like Mahogany will sound warmer and deeper then Ash ore Maple. Maple, having a greater density then Mahogany is much brighter. The differences are also apparent with the physical Mass (weight) of the materials. Knock on a thin sheet of Maple and you will hear a lower pitch then a thicker piece of the same sheet size. The thinner piece has less Mass thus the lower pitch.
In an effort for AlumiSonic to meet the traditional status quo of pitch these principles had to be applied. A solid aluminum body has way too much mass. Lower tones would be lost. Lightening holes would only loose the sound. As a hollow body guitar, too thin of a gage would result in too much hollow body resonance and depth. The resonance produced by any hollow body guitar usually equates to deeper tone.
Our process of elimination lead us to the proper gage thickness and aluminum types to balance the deeper hollow body tone. As a result our guitar bodies produce a simultaneous array of low and high tone resonance that could not be achieved with any other material. In addition our guitars produce a more crisp and crystal clear tone then their solid as well as hollow wood predecessors. With the added benefit of being a hollow body made of 6061-T6 aluminum, with the right amount of overdrive and volume infinite sustain can be achieved.
