AlumiSonic shows off the Extreme Custom
Aluminium guitar firm continues to push boundaries
You're looking at the AlumiSonic Extreme Custom, a one-off 'demo' instrument built by the US' pioneering aluminium guitar firm to demonstrate some of the possibilities behind its custom build service.
Based around the firm's T-6 model, it features a combination of traditional magnetic humbuckers and a Graphtec Guitar Labs Ghost piezo pickup system, which also includes a MIDI output. There are therefore a number of intriguing control and pickup combination options at the player's disposal and AlumiSonic has opted to install them all on the Extreme Custom.
