Whoooo Wheeeee....The FIRST EVER FRANK BROTHERS with an Aluminum Neck!
When we heard about the new Bolt-On models from our friends at Frank Brothers, before we even thought to ask about what they would be like, I think we asked "can we do one with an aluminum neck?!". It wasn't until we received 3 necks from Electrical Guitar Company that this idea could be a possible reality. If you don't recall, one went to BilT, one went to Dunable, and this third went to Frank Brothers. They were in...but man....This was a PROJECT! At this point and all that time later, and all the work that had to go into making this a reality for us, we really owe them some coffee (at least). It came out AMAZING. Aestheically, we went with one of our favorite combos; Charcoal Frost and Tort. Sonically, the addition of a Mastery Bridge & Vibrato and the Righteous Sound 1991 G a z i n g Pickup Set are the PERFECT compliments to the aluminum neck. And despite the light weight ash body and the aluminum neck, the guitar is well-balanced with a strap. It's also one of the lightest-weight aluminum neck guitars we've ever laid our hands on. Special, loaded, inspired, it's all these things and more. It's a piece of history.
