Drewman Guitars | Aluminium Guitars

ABOUT DREWMAN GUITARS

We create guitars using Aluminium, milled in the U.K. from a solid billet using multi axis CNC technology to the highest standards. We do take some of our inspiration from the classic curves that guitarists have loved for over 65 years but our ambition has always been to build a guitar that was not just 'another guitar'.

We do sell complete instruments but we also make our aluminium guitar bodies & sometimes aluminium necks available to project builders too. We're currently improving the range of guitar bodies and updated them to be more ergonomically engineered with sculpted bodyline shaping and enhanced neck heels etc. The work to update the whole range continues.

The D1 single cut 'arch-top' was our first creation, closely followed by our 'T' style model DT. The 3rd model in the range is our model 'DJ' which takes it's inspiration from the hugely popular 'Offset' body shapes. The Drewman aluminium 25.5" scale necks [round & square heel] are currently not in stock but may be available again soon.

Bill Kern - Testimonial

Guitarist - Erie, PA

"This guitar has quickly turned into my favorite sounding instrument that I own, it's got a great full bodied tone and the sustain is unbelievable. I've also never played a T type before, it is just so comfortable."

Jake McCarthy - Testimonial

Guitarist - Phoenix, AZ

"Very accommodating, answered all my questions in a timely manner, quick shipping and was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The quality, craftsmanship, fit, finish and included hardware (which is needed for this) was all included. Amazing!!!"

Mike Denallo - Testimonial

Guitarist - Broadview Heights, OH

"I’m really enjoying the Drewman [Aluminium] neck. It adds a LOT of extra frequency response that causes the amp to go into overdrive and it helps when playing with a buddy; different voicing. Everyone’s impressed by it."
