other than the sustain, it sounds like any other guitar. the fact of the matter is, solid body electric guitars almost completely sound the same once you add any amount of gain to them. ive taken all my guitars and have ran them through the same amp/cab config and recorded them and a/b them. no difference. this guitar sounds just as good as any other modern cnc guitar. Glenn Fricker and Jim Lill have done extensive tests to confirm this. The guitar seems really cool, i'd love to try one out. I also want to try out one of those carbon fiber guitars. but ultimately, playability and tuning stability are the most important factors when picking out a guitar.
I agree and the neck on this thing is the most important reason to buy one, you NEVER will need to adjust or worry about bowing or headstock breaking (Gibson). If I had money I’d drop the money on buying one of these necks
I have ALWAYS wanted to try something like a Baguley or Electric. They look and sound so rad. And of course it's Simon's, that dude has the sickest taste in gear! My question is, how has the stability been versus a wooden neck? Do they never move lol
Buzzo from the Melvins uses Tom Anderson aluminum neck guitars. Also, back in the 90's there was a band called Tar that used custom aluminum guitar & bass.
@@TaylorDanley I would imagine that they aren't very common due to the fact that since the neck is metal, I can't imagine what temperature changes would do to the tuning stability.
I saw this guitar over on Simon's Instagram and immediately loved it. The neck is killer, but the coolest part, to me, is that super simple single humbucker gloss charcoal frost painted offset body. Dope axe.
Yeah it definitely adds something unique. If you listen to the song back to back with the others I've released on Spotfy, it's a BIG difference in tone.
@@TaylorDanley if you get a chance check out "Oneder pedals Heckboy fuzz/distortion" it sounds to me what a death metal fuzz should sound like.Ive been going down the "Oneder pedals" rabbit hole since last night.lol
@@TaylorDanley do it bro if i could post pics on here i would show you its an absolute monster i use it for a band with my pal called "cattle hammer" does exactly whatbit says on the tin lol
What tuning? Just got rid of a Mike Mushok 27.75” and loved it but already have a few other baritones. 27”, 28.625”, and 30” which after playing baritones I never pick up my 7 strings anymore or 25.5” guitars
Ummm, my problem is, one i want one, two it sounds Martin Hagstrom worthy metal, three its made of metal hell yeah \m/, four it doesn't look Meshuggah metal at all, five the scale is too short, it needs to be 29+ inches or 29+ fan-fretted, six they need to add weight to the body to properly balance the guitar. If they can fix those small issues, I'd be buying one, like yesterday! Who'd guess a metal guitar is proper heavy metal \m/!
Fun fact, this is the second version of this video.. The first time I used the synergy system with the Deliverance preamp... it was killer, but I messed up the audio (whoops), which is why I shot it a second time with a plugin... it made life a lot easier 😂
@bjquebedeaux3597 Yeah it's called Aluminati Guitar Company out of Asheville, North Carolina, but the one in this video is made by Electrical Guitar Company out of Irondale Alabama.
I'm curious about the claims in this video. From my perspective, it doesn't sound any different from any other guitar I've heard, even the DI. It still just sounds like a guitar with a humbucker in the bridge, but there was no comparison in the video so there's no way to know until then. It definitely looks cool, I like the colour and the simplicity, but I'm not so sure it has any sonic advantages over another guitar. You know what I mean? I'm just over the BS in the guitar realm and want the facts. 😅
If you want a comparison, just listen to the track I made with this vs the others on Spotify. Same guitar signal chain, dramatically different character.
@@TaylorDanley We're also dealing with different tunings as well. You mentioned that you usually play in C standard, whereas this guitar is in dropped G. I wouldn't say it's the fairest of comparisons.
@@TaylorDanley oh that makes sense. I'd like to hear what kind of clean you can get from it. I know that pickup isn't suited for it but yeah I got stinky face at that part
I've heard that, but have never seen any evidence of it. I'd really like to know more because I think In Utero is an amazing album (for more reasons than just guitar tone..)
There is a YT channel of a guy who tracked it all down and done a SHIT TON of research on it. Ill see if I can remember the name of it. Wishhed I remembered off hand, he has talked to producers and engineers who worked with him on those songs too, he really figured it out. Ill try to find it man @@TaylorDanley
UPDATE the channel is Aaron Rash, you will dig his research I think. He even made a guitar to replicate the one kurt used. Kurt borrowed or bought it off some other famous guitarist who's name is escaping me, but yeah man, check out that channel, hope you enjoy it broham@@TaylorDanley

Aluminum is by far the best tonemetal
idk man it could benefit from a brass nut maybe
jk lol

I can't believe I've never tried one until now. Unreal.

@voss451 No Buzzo strictly uses Electrical Guitar Company guitars now and has been since 2016 or 2017.
@@watcherzero000 Gotcha. I knew they were aluminum but I thought they were Tom A.
I saw this guitar over on Simon's Instagram and immediately loved it. The neck is killer, but the coolest part, to me, is that super simple single humbucker gloss charcoal frost painted offset body. Dope axe.
Sounds effin brutal dude! You should make more super low tuned tunes, it works really well with your riffing style
Thanks dude! Yes, that is potentially on the horizon. I have my 7 string Agile in the guitar rack now for that reason 👀
These are among the best tones you've ever had on this channel imo.
I AGREE WITH YOU
YES
This is cool ...just plug into power section of any amp and get a great tone...that's where they shine...and for recording
That distortion sounds great!!👍
Yeah it definitely adds something unique. If you listen to the song back to back with the others I've released on Spotfy, it's a BIG difference in tone.
@@TaylorDanley Absolutely,gives it a metallic residence.Definately a place for it within the mix.👍
@@TaylorDanley if you get a chance check out "Oneder pedals Heckboy fuzz/distortion" it sounds to me what a death metal fuzz should sound like.Ive been going down the "Oneder pedals" rabbit hole since last night.lol
Kramer made these back in the eighties. I loved how the bass guitars sounded.
Great guitar
Pretty smart to put a pickup as dark and sludgy as the SLUG into a guitar with a bright aluminum neck.
The combo is insane... we were actually just talking about how much we think each adds to this guitars overall tone.
This looks .. i was going to say exciting and then you just hit a chord and stared into the abyss LMAO
Hi buddy love ya vids I had a Kramer vee back in the 80s that was a aluminam neck what a guitar that was \m/
I'm so surprised I've never heard or tried one until now... I had some aluminum picks in the 90's, but those things kind of sucked
Well this sure as shit took me by surprise
💪
Crazy good! If you want an aluminium neck guitar, check TIDES guitars, made in France, one third the cost of an EGC guitar. I bought two from TIDES
Thanks for the tip!
@@TaylorDanley thanks for the awesome video!
chug in the begging was crazy
Such amazing evil chugs! 🤘🤘🤘
💪
Love the simple look 🤘
Simon has taste!
No wonder Johannes Persson from Cult of Luna and Aaron Turner from ex-ISIS/SUMAC use these necks. I've always wanted one 😢
What a cool axe! Who needs a neck pickup, anyway? 👍
is that Simon from Nightmarer?
YES 💪
@@TaylorDanley nice! after hearing you play the guitar I started piecing it together this may what it was haha
That sounds raunchy. I love it!
The guitar looks sweet and the riffs are 🫠
All about that aluminium neck man!got a tides and its an absolute fuckin monster
Excellent, I'll have to look into it. I definitely want one now!
@@TaylorDanley do it bro if i could post pics on here i would show you its an absolute monster i use it for a band with my pal called "cattle hammer" does exactly whatbit says on the tin lol
GORGUTS!
Suh-weeeeet! Looks like that can handle doom/stoner metal quite well!
What tuning? Just got rid of a Mike Mushok 27.75” and loved it but already have a few other baritones. 27”, 28.625”, and 30” which after playing baritones I never pick up my 7 strings anymore or 25.5” guitars
Whoa, that's a cool guitar!
Has an almost blended piezo sound.
Yeah I could see that!
You lost me a couple times on what you were trying to say, 😅😅 but that guitar definitely spoke for it self 🤘🤘🤘🍕🍕
"I have little bitch hands..." I almost choked on my dinner when you said that. You had me cracking up with that comment.
I'm glad my shortcomings can bring you enjoyment 🤗
oh that is sweet!
i opened it and was immediately like oooiOOOoooOooooOOOOOHHHHhhh
😂 it was the only way I could open this video lol
is the a pointy guitar tip behind that cab that is apparently not blocking anything?
From Simon sludge?
Simonxsludge *
Yes!
Ummm, my problem is, one i want one, two it sounds Martin Hagstrom worthy metal, three its made of metal hell yeah \m/, four it doesn't look Meshuggah metal at all, five the scale is too short, it needs to be 29+ inches or 29+ fan-fretted, six they need to add weight to the body to properly balance the guitar.

Thats the tone wood int he neck in action.
I NEED ONE WITH A FLOYD AND SUSTAINIAC!!!!
Iwant to see what a titanium neck or even a steel one would sound like. brass??
Good question. I guess TONE METAL is the next hot topic in the guitar community lol.
It looks really cool actually.
So it's quite literally a *Heavy Metal* guitar 🤘🔥🎸
LITERALLY
Play that guitar into a Vht /Frayette amp for Isis tone goodness.
Fun fact, this is the second version of this video.. The first time I used the synergy system with the Deliverance preamp... it was killer, but I messed up the audio (whoops), which is why I shot it a second time with a plugin... it made life a lot easier 😂
Fu-King nasty bro! love it!
Yassss I’m about the new demo song idea! It’ll challenge you to be a better artist. This is something I should do.
Yep! More on this soon!!!
I need this! Some dude out of N.C. makes them!
@bjquebedeaux3597 Yeah it's called Aluminati Guitar Company out of Asheville, North Carolina, but the one in this video is made by Electrical Guitar Company out of Irondale Alabama.
@@watcherzero000 Thanks! I'll check I'm out online.
Sluglord sounds like a Conan Custom who play in drop F
Dude so sick! The growl is so nasty
METAL

Aside from any tonal differences, I just like the idea of having a neck that doesn't bend/warp/break. Plus it looks cool as shit.
@@TaylorDanley We're also dealing with different tunings as well. You mentioned that you usually play in C standard, whereas this guitar is in dropped G. I wouldn't say it's the fairest of comparisons.
Simon Sludge?
Guess I should've watched the whole video before speaking...
Yes the man himself. One of my favorite persons.
the color is horrendous but otherwise it’s really sick and i want one in black
Id like to hear a guitar that has like no sustain.
That thing is hideous, but it sounds mean!
Kinda cool huh? A metal guitarist playing a metal guitar….
Surprising
Super meta..
Those look like bass strings...
They're pretty thicc... no idea what gauge.
Seems a shame not to play it through a doomy fuzz.
1:47 by "unique" I assume you mean "bad" .. cause woof that clean tone is terrible. Does sound kinda cool distorted though
The clean tone is DI, so it's not actually a "clean tone".. there's no amp or anything.
@@TaylorDanley oh that makes sense. I'd like to hear what kind of clean you can get from it. I know that pickup isn't suited for it but yeah I got stinky face at that part
yeah but what the fuck is that guitar????
Kurt Cobain got that clacky sound people hunted for years by a aluminum guitar
I've heard that, but have never seen any evidence of it. I'd really like to know more because I think In Utero is an amazing album (for more reasons than just guitar tone..)
