I’ve never seen this before…..

Overall. Al is very sensitive to higher or lower ph cleaners / chemicals as they will accelerate oxidation and you get a white chalky powder on the surface. Simple green is a good example. If you want a good list of safe chemicals you can look up if it is FAA aircraft approved. The neck MFG website might have some listed.

I picked this up last weekend. I haven't even plugged it in yet. It's a pretty killer build, even though I'm not actually sure what the body itself is. It's got a Bareknuckle Aftermath in it. The neck is HEAVY. The body doesn't even have strap buttons installed, so I can't really give it a good spin, but I'm going to try and plug this in tomorrow.

Love the look. Got a contrast between the bling from the sparkle, and a really straight forward bad ass work horse look.

I’ve noticed aluminum necks have kind of become an in style thing with the stoner/doom/sludge fellas.

I’d always heard about the tuning issues because of metal response to temp. I wondered since aluminum necks were becoming en vogue again in some circles, had there been some development or design improvements that made the tuning issues more stable.

Don’t know how you keep metal from expanding/contracting, but I’m no engineer and figured some smart designer may have figured out something to mitigate it.

Still cool either way. Any comments on tuning stability, or whether there are any current design elements for stability you are aware of?
