Fehse Aviator Headless - Purple Anodized (New)

I aspire to make the highest-quality aluminum guitars possible

I want players to see, feel and hear the deep thought and work that went into every single feature. I want to convince guitar players that materials other than wood are not a mere possibility, but open up new possibilities— in design, sound, and playability

The question “why” lies at the heart of what I do

Why even build a guitar in the first place? In today’s market, with its many incredible offerings, there are only two valid reasons to build a guitar, in my humble opinion: to do it better, or to do it differently — ideally both. I strive for both, and believe I have succeeded.

Why aluminum? As a professional metal-worker, it only felt natural to explore these materials. When I started out, the few aluminum guitars that existed were clunky, heavy, and often did nothing differently from regular wooden guitars other than being made of aluminum. I wanted to prove that non-wood materials aren’t merely a gimmick. So my journey began.

Aluminum not only gives a guitar a very distinct look and feel but it also is much, much more precise. This incredible exactness can be used to achieve a playability unheard of, and to implement construction details that are simply not possible with wood.

It is very important to me for people to understand that aluminum is not a “dead” material. It moves with temperature (humidity is luckily irrelevant) and it is rarely perfectly uniform like for example some kinds of plastic can be. And although a lot of work goes into & “purifying”, metals ultimately come from nature and are in use for millenia.
