Normandy Alumicaster Electric Guitar, Chrome Plated with Rosewood Fretboard

Normandy Alumicaster Electric Guitar, Chrome Plated with Rosewood Fretboard Review

Normandy Alumicaster Electric Guitar, Chrome Plated with Rosewood Fretboard Feature

• The Look - From the distinctive aircraft-grade aluminum construction and classic curves of the body, to the vintage hand crafted and finished neck, there is simply no other guitar like it.
• The Sound - The resonant, aircraft-grade aluminum body produces smooth, warm tones that ring true and long. Sustain is increased significantly when compared to that of a conventional wooden guitar body.
• The Feel -The Alumicaster® weighs 7-pounds, which is roughly the same (or less) than its wooden cousin. It maintains perfect balance when on a strap, and is so accommodating that you may just be able to go at it all night.
• The Durability - This is a deceivingly solid piece of equipment. You may be able to snap the neck, but the body will stand up to the most aggressive punk-inspired outbursts.
• The Neck - Our maple-on-maple and rosewood-on-maple necks are shaped close to what you would find on a vintage blues guitar, but more like a shallow "C" profile - not too fat...not too thin.

These American-made guitars are manufactured and hand-riveted in Salem, Oregon. Known for their incredible sustain qualities and warm tones, these lightweight aluminum electric guitars are an instant classic. They are now available in 5 colors and three different and unique finishes: chrome, powder coat paint (army green, rat rod gray, school bus yellow) anodized obsidian (black). Every Normandy Alumicaster® guitar comes fully loaded with these features: • Aluminum body constructed of aircraft-grade material • Hard rock maple neck with maple or rosewood fretboard • Heavy Duty enclosed tuners with 16:1 gear ratio • Graphite nut made by Graphtech® • Seymour Duncan® Pickups for high output, powerful midrange and tone • Heavy Duty, Modern style bridge with fully adjustable saddles for perfect intonation • Hard-shell, ABS Road Case • Limited Lifetime Warranty

Ten Reasons to Own a Normandy Guitar

1. The Look – From the classic arch top curves of the body, to the vintage Bigsby-vibrato tailpiece, to the distinctive rivets front and back, there is simply no other guitar like it.
2. The Sound – The resonant, aircraft-grade aluminum body produces smooth, warm tones that ring true and long. Sustain is increased significantly when compared to that of a conventional wooden guitar body.
3. The Feel –The Normandy weighs 8.6-pounds, which is roughly the same (or less) than most other electric guitars. It maintains perfect balance when on a strap, and is so accommodating that you may just be able to go at it all night.
4. The Durability – This is a deceivingly solid piece of equipment.  You may be able to snap the neck, but the body will stand up to the most aggressive punk-inspired outbursts.
5. The Neck – Our maple-on-maple and rosewood-on-maple necks are shaped close to what you would find on an old-school jazz guitar – not too fat…not too thin.
6. The Pickups – Normandy Old School-Humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets are overwound to 12K ohms for higher output, powerful midrange and driving tone.
7. The Craftsmanship – Normandy Guitars are made one at a time with quality and durability as our foremost concerns; they are built to stand the test of time from one gig to the next.
8. The Finish – The Chrome guitar is triple-electroplated, the School Bus and Army Green guitars are powder coated using a special baked-on finish and the Candy Apple Metal Flake finishes are far superior to the standard paint, stain, or varnish typically found on guitars.  Whatever the color, the appearance will outshine that of any guitar you’ve ever seen.
9. The Service – Normandy offers a warranty against defective materials and workmanship for the life of the guitar (check with the vendor for details).  Normandy takes pride in every one of their instruments playing its very best right out of the box.
10. Add it all up  –  Custom, boutique styling and quality that every player can afford.
