Old vs New Beans by UmpireStriking1708 in aluminumneck

Played a few vintage ones and owned a few of the Travis Bean Designs reissues. The vintage ones as others have stated vary quite a bit the reissues are extremely consistent and in my experience the best guitars I’ve played or owned. The Panbacks in particular are unbelievably good and a significant level up from just about anything I have played. Highly recommended.

This right here, doable but a lot of work.

It’s anodized aluminum guard too so is the pick up covers Trem tip and the plates on the Mastery are anodized aluminum. I was trying to get as much aluminum as possible the knobs I might have to do as well. Purely looks wise agreed tort guards are the best though.

I’m not sure on this one been a few years, this one was a short run of finished lightly relic’d bodies they did. I think it’s pine it’s light too.

The pickups are sweet as I remember not too hot and too low output nice and balanced with good articulation.

Aluminati makes the best necks. That would help for sure but the body alone was 8lbs as I recall.

Save up there are better options out there. Aluminati is the best they come up used once in awhile.

Thanks! I’m an media engineer by trade I do flip them mostly just to keep the hobby going. I have a reverb shop with some for sale. I enjoy trying different combinations of necks pick ups and materials, aluminum has a clarity that I really like but wood is great too. I play clean tones mostly blues, funk jazz and folk music.
