That to me sounds like the most twisted logic ever The price is already above what I'd consider paying for it (probably no more than £2.50 delivered to my door )

Not that I'm paranoid about electricity, but wondering about the conductivity of aluminium ...

[SJA]

if the Kramer & Travis Bean aluminium guitars didn't stay in tune well, I wonder what that's like?
it's probably like playing a bimetallic strip.

I really want it.

I've had no tuning problems with any of my Kramers or the Fake Duke all with Aluminium necks.

The neck on this is actually wood with an aluminium fingerboard, similar to the Andreas range of guitars and basses (I have an Andreas Black Shark guitar and the tuning is rock-solid on that!).

I'll be having a punt on this unless the bidding gets silly - which it could since last year's new price for one with a hard case shipped to the UK was approaching $4000...

Not sure what's more shocking - 240 volts or that this retails for $4000
