The All-Aluminum Guitar You Didn't Know About

In this weekend episode I finally put together a long-delayed project I'd been buying parts for and planning since February. Yes, I finally get together my Hoxey aluminum neck and aluminum Telecaster style body that have been collecting dust.
I also put in a ThroBak wiring harness with pots and bumblebee caps, a set of Mojo-tone P90's and a few other pieces of hardware I acquired.
Check it out, especially if you're curious about them.

This may be the coolest kit guitar build on the You Tubes.

@CompanyGrip 2 месяца назад

It’s a fun one for sure!

@harbonip 2 месяца назад

Interesting kit. Thanks again for your research.

@CompanyGrip 2 месяца назад

👍🏽 cheers!

@sinakaedwards2009 2 месяца назад

Sounds good, maybe more resonance than usual. I definitely liked the brighter tone.

@CompanyGrip 2 месяца назад

Definitely! I noticed that immediately, which I figured it would be. But I do really like that neck pickup tone as a result.

My solid Hoxey neck has a tiny bit of relief, but A: solid necks are less stiff B: I use 56-13 strings string DADGAD Something I’ve noticed is that it’s not so much that the tone is that much brighter or the sustain is so much longer (though both are true to a degree). The thing is that the harmonic content of the tone doesn’t change much as the note fades. An aluminum guitar with an evertune would basically sound like a synth.

@CompanyGrip 2 месяца назад

Agreed! It has a great resonance to it. Maybe too much. 😆

Im starting to feel poor watching this channel lol. Just a thought though. Since this thing is so hollow did you try it in a room with a cranked amp? I notice you play with headphones a lot. Probably a good idea to try out with a loud cabinet to see if theres any feedback issues. Also what are the frets made of? Stainless steel and aluminum causes galvanic corrosion. It makes me wonder if theyre not stainless what are they and what is a refret like on that thing? Pretty cool though.

@CompanyGrip 2 месяца назад

Hi! Thanks for checking it out. The frets are nickel on this neck, but you could opt for stainless if you wanted. I’m curious about a refret too. I’ll reach out and see what they say! As far as feedback, I’ve done some louder testing. I don’t think feedback was as much of an issue as a resonance loop in the body. When I get some time I’m going to stuff some foam in there to try and tame it a bit.

@@CompanyGrip having spent a good number of months with a Hoxey neck, I would never get nickel frets. They’re epoxied in, for one, so to get them out, you’re absolutely doing that thing with the soldering iron and the pliers, but the neck itself be conducting heat away from that. Do you just bake it and hope they fall out? 😬 So… be very kind to those frets. Pure nickel strings?

@CompanyGrip 2 месяца назад

So, I had an exchange with Kam Hoxey yesterday and he does say the frets are glued in like some other frets are and that a refret shouldn’t be a problem for a luthier. I actually do use pure nickel strings. 🤣

@sinakaedwards2009 2 месяца назад

It has a bit of an Ibanez look to it.

@bingobango4840 2 месяца назад

If you were playing outdoors on a cold day, I'll bet an aluminum guitar would freeze your hands.

@CompanyGrip 2 месяца назад

Haha, I bet you’re right!

@GretchZ 2 месяца назад

I keep my guitar by the window (because I can! Weather ain’t gonna hurt him anymore!). I’ve picked him up during the MN winter and I gotta say… yes! He warms up quick, but yeah. Chilly!
