The bowling ball thread made me wonder if anybody has any experience with the aluminum body strats Fender put out in the 90’s? They look pretty cool to me but I haven’t had a chance to actually play one. Being a National reso fan, I like the idea of a metal body. Thanks.
Any Love for Aluminum Strats??

No, but I've always wanted one of these since hearing Pete Haycock play one on the tune "Mighty Fire".

And if you play an outdoor gig it will continuously drift in pitch as the neck warms up and expands.
It was. I actually had an extra neck and body and sold those too. The only benefit was I made about an 800% profit but I still wish I'd have kept them.

I'm guessing they're pretty well shielded . . .

Feangible memory in my golden. er, aluminum years.Close -- Gittler! They even have a model that even recognisable as a guitar:

I love to try a Gittler… some very smart ideas in there. But not cheap… or anywhere near it!Titanium ... uh ... TV antennae?
