AlumiSonic Inc. is the result of a combination of some of the most talented commercial, and aerospace craftsman gathered from the very manufacturing heart and “Cradle of Aviation” known as Long Island, NY. As an Engineer with 20 years of manufacturing and design experience as a Luthier (and in other industries), the founder and President of AlumiSonic, Ray Matter, fostered the development of AlumiSonic through many years of gathering the processes, materials and talent to create the ultimate aluminum guitar company.
As a result of a painstaking process of searching for the right gage thicknesses and aluminum types, our guitars produce a simultaneous array of low and high tone resonance that could not be achieved with any other materials. In addition, our guitars produce a more crisp and crystal clear tone then their solid as well as hollow wood predecessors. With the added benefit of being a hollow body made of (high strength and light weight) 6061-T6 aluminum, with the right amount of overdrive and volume, infinite sustain can be achieved.
All of our guitar bodies are set up for the option of converting them to semi hollow chambered instruments. This internal chambering allows for pickup isolation for hard rock players. Typically a pickup chamber would be used in the higher output bridge position only and the neck position would be internally exposed to pure hollow- body aluminum resonance. This method is the most universal for all styles of playing.
Our Master-Alloy, Classic-Alloy and 1100 series of instruments accurately replicate all of the features of classic instruments to dimensional perfection. Since our bodies are not screwed together, the backs and sides are clean and seamless. The weights of our guitars typically range from only 6.5 lbs to 8.5 lbs. Our Master and Classic Alloy guitar bodies feature 1/8” radius edges all around. The sides of these bodies also include the traditional 1-1/2” input jack flat area (a characteristic that is not easy to produce). 1100-Custom bodies have perfectly formed arch-tops with sharp edges from top to sides, and 1/8” radiuses from bottom to sides. Our neck pockets are partially laser cut and tediously hand finished and accurately filed for a minimum gap and perfect neck position. Bridge positions are located with laser cut holes relative to the laser cut neck pockets giving a perfect neck lineup to the bridge.
At AlumiSonic we take a great deal of pride in our meticulous quality control efforts. As a compliment to the mere perfect form of our instruments and the accuracy in which they are fabricated, all of the surfaces of our instruments are finished to the same high level of perfection. From polished and clear coated aluminum to chrome plating, each AlumiSonic guitar is inspected for the slightest imperfection before and after the finishing process, after assembly and once again prior to shipping.

BLACK ROBOT Debut CD!! Featuring the singles "Baddass", "Cocaine" and "I'm in Love".
ALREADY AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.com!!! & your digital copy on iTunes!
Early reviews say: From the opening AC/DC inspired groove of “Cocaine” , a wickedly arranged cover of J.J. Cale’s narcotic classic, Black Robot serves instant notice with their self-titled debut that not only do they have it, they damn near destroyed the laboratory to get it. This mechanical/musical beast was conceived and constructed for the divine, ultimate destruction of brain cells, ear fibers and false perceptions about what it truly means to rock as if our very survival as a race depended on it. -Lonn Friend
