We create guitars using Aluminium, milled in the U.K. from a solid billet using 5 axis CNC technology to the highest standards. We do take some of our inspiration from the classic curves that guitarists have loved for over 60 years but our ambition has always been to build a guitar that was not just 'another guitar'.
We sell complete instruments and we also make our aluminium guitar bodies & necks available to project builders. The guitar bodies are milled with either a radial burst or they are bead-blasted and we anodise our bodies to protect them either with a clear coat finish or in a variety of available colours. The necks are mirror polish finished.
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.
Milled from a billet of aluminium they weigh just 1.80Kg (3lbs 15oz) for the D1 and 1.85Kg (4lbs 2oz) for the DT & DJ.
Milled from a billet of aluminium, weighing less than 4lbs our 25.5" scale necks; round or square heel. Currently unavailable.
The aluminium bodies are always anodised in either a clear coat or with a dye colour, the necks are all mirror polished.
