Hand fabricated
and finished by Alumisonic Inc. to the finest detail, the
Evo-Classic Vintage Copper guitar is a durable and light weight
Copper plated aluminum hybrid instrument. With the addition
of a custom copper plated USA made Bigsby B-5 Tremolo the
Evo-Classic Combines the features of our Classic and Master
Alloy guitars with 2 Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbuckers
(coil tapped with a switch pot). The guitar also features
our exclusive Bigsby style B-5 Humbucker bridge plate specially
designed and fabricated by AlumiSonic for the Evo-Classic
HH combo.
Both Pickup positions
are backed with “ported” Honduran mahogany chambers
for a tasty hybrid effect of warm tonewood with aluminum overtones
and sustain. The perfect combination of materials for Seymour
Duncan’s “sweet, hotter than vintage” Pearly
Gates pickups in Humbucker and / or coil tapped mode. A great
combo for blues, classic rock, southern rock, and hard rock.
Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbuckers light up some of the
natural aluminum and Mahogany overtones that would normally
be lost with any other Alnico II pickup.
As an aluminum
instrument the Classic Alloy is noticeably capable of a greater
spectrum of harmonic frequencies (low and high) than its traditional
wood predecessors. Due to the greater response of the 6061
aluminum alloy, lower pitch notes project a fatter frequency
along with incredibly pure sounding crystal clear resonance
overtones. Mid to upper octave notes carry through with an
excellent harmonic clarity and fullness that would be impossible
to achieve with any other material.
The custom African
Padouk neck compliments the body with incredible depth, warmth
of tone, and sustain. The stability of Padauk also works well
with our aluminum bodies by having less of a reaction to climate
change than Maple or Mahogany. AlumiSonic also includes the
convenience of a neck heel side truss rod adjustment for better
access.
Like all of our
copper plated guitars the Evo-Classic receives special attention
to the finest finishing and mechanical details. AlumiSonic
neck pockets and hardware positions are accurately laser cut
and pre-aligned to within .005” with a slightly undersized
neck pocket. Each neck pocket is then flawlessly hand filed
and adjusted to conform to the heel of your custom made Warmoth
neck for a perfect fit. Every screw and competent of the Evo-Classic
is individually hand polished, copper plated and lightly tarnished
to match the body.
Ordered to your
custom requirements each Evo-Classic is entirely fabricated
as a custom guitar. The custom made African Padauk neck is
available with a variety of back contours, fingerboard, and
fret wire selections. AlumiSonic will provide neck radius
contour drawings as well as actual photographs of your select
fingerboard wood before fabricating the guitar. As with all
of our guitars we guide each customer through an itemized
quotation of every option on the instrument. The Evo-Classic
is the perfect combination of the best that aluminum guitars
have to offer while designed to go beyond AlumiSonic to your
custom preferences.
