Drewman Guitars | Aluminium Guitars

ABOUT DREWMAN GUITARS

We create guitars using aluminium, milled with 5 axis CNC technology from a solid block of aluminium to the highest standards. We take our inspiration from classic curves that guitarists have loved for over 60 years. 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 (which will soon be available as a left handed version). The 3rd model in the range will be our model 'DJ/D3' which will take it's inspiration from the 'Offset' classic body shapes. The Drewman aluminium 25.5" scale neck is also now available to order with either a square or round heel.

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."
