We Made A Guitar Out Of Aluminum! The Alumirite Warlord

[@RobbieTayVaughan]

I'm not the only one to notice that you've leveled up, surpassed your peers, and come into your own over the last year. Just saying, bro. Keep killing it Mr Reese!!

[@DoesItDoom]

Appreciate the kind words man. Trying to do a little better every day.

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

Playing metal, on a metal guitar, with the father of metal over your shoulder. Perfection!

[@DoesItDoom]

🧠))) 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@zandig666]

He🏒🏒 ya brother !!!!!

[@obsessedwithguitars3157]

Heck yes. Love aluminum necks and their clear sound, lack of truss rods, and rad looks. So awesome!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, dude. Very much agreed!

[@mikerauter1859]

Didn't expect it to sound that good! WOW!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, Mike! I don’t know what I expected tbh. You hear so much lore about aluminum guitars and wonder how much is myth… but it genuinely has unique tone and characteristics. Sounds amazing and plays incredibly well.

[@mikerauter1859]

@@DoesItDoom Its just killer Steve!

[@barkabark]

Wow sounds great! Would love to see you play more Melvins riffs.

[@DoesItDoom]

Could happen! Let me know what you want to see.

[@Raul1971xxx]

Yes, that aluminium guitar is spectacular. 👍👍🇪🇸🇪🇸

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Anodize it red. Would be so sick. Also, CNC artwork on the body would be cool too. Lots of awesome options with that beast.

[@DoesItDoom]

Yes indeed!

[@choccymilk666]

Send one to Buzz osborne! The perfect guy to have test this beast🤘

[@chriscurran1967]

WOW!!! That looks badass, maintenance free neck also???!!! That sounds like some sort of sorcery, but what else would you expect from a wizard and his cohorts???!!! Great stuff Steve!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, Chris. Amazing design work by Aluminati. Really next level.

[@garrettbaker6481]

Reminds me of king buzzo’s guitars he has been playing live recently

[@darthglabrezu4512]

4:30 dude, melted my ears, awesome, I've listened giza butler a million times but this time, it went hyperspace

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, dude. Started it off with a Boss RE-2 Space Echo and then kicked on the Baghdad Preamp for the heavy.

[@troygolden8997]

That sounds amazing! My jaw hit the floor. Great job as always Steve!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, Troy! Glad you dig it man!

[@TheFoxcrusher]

sounded incredible.

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks dude.

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

Gorgeous and sounds like it sustains for days.

[@TealScarab]

Ready to play something off of Elder’s Reflection’s of a Floating World album!!

[@RobbieTayVaughan]

Teasing this up on some of your reals before, has had me stuck on and anticipating for this video so hard! Now! I'm flabbergasted by this. Y'all knocked this official release out of the park!!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks a bunch, Robbie! Incredible instrument.

[@kyleluck8097]

This is... Next level. As awesome as this is, my dream guitar is still a deep green Warlord. One can only dream.

[@aghastinagharta]

I forgot about the existence of Hung Bunny, thanks for reminding me! It's a really great Melvins song, possibly one of their best.

[@DoesItDoom]

Gave it a shot! Such a fucken great tune.

[@isolateddemon9438]

A DREAM GUITAR.

[@douchecraft3113]

Looks absolutely dope! But for the price, would love to see some more options... 24 frets, move the pickup selector...

[@alexcorona]

Thank you for using Bourns pots. Their headquarters is here in my city and they help out a lot in the local economy.

[@moonicproductions]

Looks awesome and damn, those guitar playing bits sound ACE!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thank, Otu! This guitar is insane.

[@timthorpe81]

Take my money!!! Looks and sounds incredible

[@TheAmazingSnarf]

this is the most amazing thing i could have imagined. just wow.

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks dude. Agreed.

[@santiagodiaz3358]

Given how I'm used to hearing aluminum guitars through early Pil and Jesus Lizard, hearing Doom riffs coming from one was very cool. One of my goals is to buy an aluminum guitar once I can afford it, so I appreciate the demo

[@SamLibman]

Goddamn. Y’all have really outdone yourself this time. Absolutely beautiful, Steve. Congrats!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, Sam! Unbelievable instrument.

[@marcusmattern5960]

Fucking love this channel . Thanks for all the killer riffs and reviews, Brother.

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, Marcus. Appreciate it dude.

[@danielkosmider8715]

My lord Steve! That is worthy of being played on the moon for NASA testing. Beautiful!

[@DoesItDoom]

Agreed!

[@Drivebyedesign]

King Buzzo shines through

[@derekmonaco6132]

Absolutely incredible. It’s like a holy grail. Totally unattainable for my mere mortal body. The guitar is from another world. Great demo Steve! I’ll be watching it over and over.

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks so much. Glad you dig it!

[@mholden020]

Looks amazing, sounds amazing, especially that clean sound!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks Matt! Crazy instrument.

[@cam-inf-4w5]

Make an explorer style model and take my money. Dream guitar.

[@dustincleary8161]

GOALS

[@mariolafontaine5853]

If I can suggest something, try to fit eventually a "Evertune bridge" because the tuning stability relative to thermal dilatation of the aluminium compared to string(it's about 3x more than steel or nickel). At 24.75 + stop tail piece distance + nut to tuners distance, with +20ºf(spot lights) the guitar scale will increase so your tuning will be sharper. With Evertune, nothing will shows. Nice guitar by the way!

[@Witchpit]

Man that thing is so nice!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, brother. Gotta have you try it out sometime.

[@FuzzedDrones]

That’s amazing !

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, Zach. It’s unreal dude.

[@FuzzedDrones]

@@DoesItDoom I still can’t believe the weight of that guitar . That’s awesome you were able to keep it under 10lbs .

[@TheGorillafoot]

That thing is gnarly. Sounds bad ass.

[@DoesItDoom]

It plays and sounds amazing. Unreal.

[@Elderwyrmmusic]

That delay song was sick

[@Elderwyrmmusic]

Oh yeah, sleep

[@DoesItDoom]

Such a great tune. Running through a Boss RE-2 Space Echo there.

[@DoomManJJ]

This is extremly cool.

[@DoesItDoom]

It's crazy!

You are always outdoing yourself steve!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks. I get to work with a whole lot of great people to make it happen!

[@DaisyHead666]

Met you with Jimmy from Eyehategod last night, Jimmy's rig with that Woodrite sounded immensely huge!

[@DoesItDoom]

Nice meeting you too, man. Was such a fun night. Sounded massive for sure.

[@maxnorton4893]

Beautiful guitar, Steve! I have a few EGCs and a Travis Bean, and can attest to how wonderful they are. Aluminum fretboards are incredibly clear and when driven hard can sound like hell. It's like playing an angry tuning fork.

[@DoesItDoom]

That's a great description man. I love it!!

[@russiangoose7053]

Angry tuning fork 😂

[@jamiemetz3019]

Holy shit no set-up or truss rod and very low tuning ??? Dude that's frickin sick bro I'm serious man this is an extremely fresh take on guitars considering there's a thousand other people pumping out all these really great guitars and collaborating with all the makers and crafters of some cool ideas!!! Like ol boy said a metal guitar playing metal is as fu"*ing metal as metal can be brother and that's Heavy!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤬🤬🤬

[@Louzahsol]

Would love to see a demo of the new Matt pike firespitter pickups since nobody is showing them

I will give that some thought. Cool idea.

[@erickleefeld4883]

Sounds Wicked Man,How Much ?

[@timothya.olmeda7299]

Can’t play it in the hot sun, can’t play it in cold atmosphere. Otherwise it’s glorious.

[@nathanjasper512]

Yeah it would be hot or cold to pickup. On the other hand I don't think it would go out of tune with the weather change so that's a plus.

[@timothya.olmeda7299]

@@nathanjasper512 Yep. And at an over $5,000 price tag I wouldn’t take it out of the house or out of my sight.

[@nunestunes]

I work in an aluminum shop, I've thought about sending some aluminum to be made into a guitar

[@JohnWilliams-pn7ft]

Would love to see a video of you using cheaper small amps like a fender mustang or line 6 50watt and try getting the best doom sound out of one of those practice amps we all started on. Keep up the good work bro.

[@jamiecunningham1565]

Reminds me of Buzz's guitars. Would love to see a Melvins playthrough🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Had to play some Hung Bunny.

[@DjBoutDbois]

Very nice! Did you use the baghdad on the hof songs? Just bought one baghdad used and it is really a perfect pedal 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@DoesItDoom]

I used the Baghdad for almost everything in the demo. Glad you’re digging it!

[@adamsnow8554]

So damn cool, definitely a dream guitar for me. Can't get one now but someday maybe haha. Btw I heard you play a little Fury Whip at the end there, was that a sneak peek at an upcoming lesson?

[@DoesItDoom]

Glad you dig it man! Would take a bit of time to do a full Fury Whip lesson. I think Matt did it on Patreon though, his lesson videos are epic if you haven't checked them out: patreon.com/mattpike

Thanks dude! Eric Merrow handles all of our editing along with the drum work. I'd have to ask him!

[@dwiii1635]

Amazing guitar. When you click on the link, it takes you to a page asking for a password, though. Just a heads up.

[@harryanderson7282]

Any chance of seeing these as bass VIs?

[@groovefretboard]

Sounds good has a more metallic tone! Nice look as well. If you get a chance maybe you can review my patented guitar fretboard invention. Added vertical scallops to allow bends over edge of fretboard for new pitch modulation, infinite vibrato sustain and extra notes on pulloffs as FretCorner plucks the string. Steve Vai has bent off fretboard on Blue Powder, Kirk Hammett on the Masters solo, Flea has done it in bass etc I just evolved the style to all strings or partial. Cool channel keep at it I like innovative builds.

[@garymontagano510]

So sick!! On a side note did you ever do another video with the heavily modded Squier Bass VI? Been waiting to see what you do with it.

[@DoesItDoom]

Not yet but have plans to use it here soon.

Awesome video & nice guitar. By the way man could you please make more lessons/videos on some early Witchcraft from their self titled album or even some early pentagram/bedemon songs. Also check out two bands named (Dunbarrow) & (Hexvessel) They will not disappoint… They are in the same vein as the three bands mentioned above. Also thank you for your videos. They are a huge help for someone just learning how to play 70s downer rock.

[@romainnemo6423]

What string gauge for C standard on aluminum ? Read all over the place that travis beans need larger gauge to avoid buzz etc

[@DoesItDoom]

Really depends on the neck itself, how much relief was built into the frets, how deep the nut slots were cut, etc. 12-56 is a good place to start. Can go up to 13-62 if needed.

[@stevenjohnson2672]

For the price it should have locking tuners. Just saw the price😲

[@robertjr8474]

my biggest gripe with aluminum guitars/necks is all the fingerprints that get left on it, just looks dirty to me id feel like i have to constantly clean them

[@DoesItDoom]

We did the satin anodized body for that reason. The fingerprints on the fretboard always remind me of old played out maple boards, which I think looks pretty killer.
