This is a bit of mental vomit of everything I've learned from obsessing over aluminum necks and aluminum guitars over the past 6 months or so.
I'm hoping for this video to be a repository of what I have learned in buying and playing my first aluminum necked instrument, to dispel some rumors about aluminum, and to set up a philosophy about aluminum instruments in the average player that gives realistic expectations about what they are getting themselves into.

The thing I always think when people demand a hundred different tones out of every piece of gear they own is "but what's your SOUND?". I don't really have songs that I think are so me that you could tell I wrote them if somebody else played them, I'm not technically very good, but I think my drummer could pick me playing power chords out of a lineup because I have a sound. I guess a big percentage of players fall into that wedding cover band category that needs every tone besides metal, but I think one of the best things about playing guitar is getting my tone stack, tuning, and rig right so it feels like it's my guitar sound. I have this ancient Hot Rod with a fucked up reverb that does this rhythmic clanging on certain tones, and I'd really miss it if I traded up to a smaller, nicer tube amp like everybody's been telling me to forever.

So you don't use different sounds when writing music?

You just won't build any unique character to your tone if you decide to play like everyone else. I am all into one piece of weird gear and commiting to it fully instead of a do everything machine. Leave those in the studio!

What happens when the frets wear down enough to need a fret job? You would have to put a whole knew neck no? I want a Travis Bean or Vintage Kramer.

The neck was fretted just like a standard neck, but with stainless frets, so I assume they refret the same. Can't imagine needing a fretjob for a long time

I don't know what I regret more; not buying Bitcoin when it was $70 a coin or a Travis Bean when they were under $1k. 😭

i hear ya. i think i'm now at the age, or point in my guitar life, that i know what it is i like and don't like. i think its cool to have different features, but i find it more of a novelty than anything. i never end up liking the tone. in the end, i like simple. SGs, tele, strats and maybe Les pauls
