To answer a few common questions- Hands don't turn black from holding/playing this guitar. Perhaps over time if the surface corrodes this could come into play. I mentioned this in the follow up video (link in description)- I considered anodizing or clear coating it but decided for the polished look instead. Only downside to the aluminum so far has been that hands can get pretty cold while playing it. But after ~10mins or so of playing, body temp raises the guitar temp enough to not notice. Thanks for watching!

The sand is 100% reusable...just add in a few oz of full synthetic 2stroke oil and mix it really well. Then, squirt it with a 5 or 6 sprays of 70% isopropyl alcohol from a misting spray bottle, and then mix it again. Petrobond is used in the aluminum industry because it's super resilient, and in many cases gets better with age (while going thru those refresh steps I mentioned about every 5 pours or so)

Because most of the sound comes from the pickups, it's a totally outdated myth that the wood is important for the sound of an e-guitar. There are several channels with experiments with this statements. Like cutting away all the wood and compare the sustains. And none of them expirienced a hearable change. This video is a perfect example for this. Most comes from pickups, then the strings and for the sustain and stuff like that it's more the bridge and saddle than the wood. But this is just for e-guitars, for acoustic it's an totally different topic, because they work with resonances where it's really important how the wood will vibrate etc.

Boys, this is just stupid. Sorry. It is like one claiming that cheap loudspeakers at 1.000 bucks do the same like similar sized ones for 12.000 bucks. It is just a result of untrained ears. You need to learn listening first to recognize differences. When you change the wood or density of the corpus the tone differs. Bolted or glued neck and attack and sustain differs. Solid bridge vs trem and guess what: the tone differs. But you need a good clean amp and toggle in the cream spots. The pu's are just huge difference from single coil alnico to maybe active EMGs and iff you go full output they just dominate the scene but the wood still gives the color.

as a former foundryman I think you did a good job. how were you gauging the metal temperature? a pyrometer would be helpful in giving you a true reading from deep in the crucible. if you want to get rid of inclusions in the metal you can use a fluxing agent. borax is common. we used the lost wax process so the ceramic shell remnants in the recycled bronze acted as a fluxing agent. additionally having someone help you pour who can physically block and scrape the dross off the top of the crucible is helpful in keeping it out of the casting. if you ever have any questions let me know.

Aluminium is, compared to brass, a soft, low melting temp metal. Brass would cost a fortune! A similar weights of brass is probably 1/3 of a child's size violin. It would also have to be an almost perfect pour because whilst sanding aluminium is easy, sanding brass would take forever. However, I agree it would look incredible. 🙂

aluminium is a beautiful material, very unlikely to deteriorate at all, if anything the loving polishing and tlc it will look even better as time goes by, i think this guitar could fetch a very big price, personally, i would of maybe gone Gibson body shape and maybe fender neck, and maybe mixed up the pick ups, maybe 2 sets so you could have a blend, a gibson or fender sound, but i'm just being picky, it is a work of art, worth alot of money regardless

imagine starting out by getting help from a metalworker to bend an old shovel into a guitar and progressing all the way up to building your own metalworking equipment and doing aluminum casting! always super inspiring to see the builds you make and it’s clear how much thought and effort went into this one in particular! you’ve also inspired me to attempt my own first guitar build! so we will see how that goes, but either way, i have you to thank for inspiring me

They were doing their best and he wanted a break from everything, he wanted to spend more time with his family after all of his success. I will still always love his videos and I know it wasn't the same after he passed away but give them a break. He CHOSE them. I respect that he chose them and there's still things we would have never seen without them. They did their best.

Thinking back on it, when my brother and I were younger we did something pretty dangerous along these same lines. We used metal coffee and food cans, and a fan from a heater stacked up with some charcoal to melt aluminum. We ended up casting it in the dirt with a shape we carved out, definitely didn't know the dangers of it. Nice job on the guitar build.

For all that - the fact that it turned out so well highlights how good your process is. re: fingerprints - you could probably get that thing anodised (or do it yourself)

One thing i love about your videos - apart from seeing you make guitars out of unconventional materials is that you actually *DEMO* the guitar after playing it. And not only do you play it. *YOU PLAY IT REALLY WELL* and in such a way that lets us hear any sort of dynamics or characteristics that such materials may have if they were made into a guitar. This guitar didnt have any resonance, any sustain or body to its tone but you successfully made humbuckers sound like a strat without a coil tap (unless the wiring put the pickups out of phase? but id didnt sound out of phase to me) All in all, it wasnt a completely terrible sounding guitar.

Unlike tonewood, you actually get a difference with aluminum guitars in terms of sound. Their sound is very distinctive and you can really tell there's a difference when you're not looking at the guitar and going "haha wood" Kurt Cobain played an aluminum guitar in multiple recordings on In Utero, and that's why they sound the way they do.
