Alluvium Guitars

Alluvium Guitars incorporates magnesium as a core design element in its made-to-order electric guitars, pairing a louvered magnesium face with traditional tonewood back and sides. Magnesium offers aluminum-like qualities—light weight, rigidity, and corrosion resistance—while being even lighter, allowing the instrument to remain highly responsive without excess mass. Structurally, magnesium provides excellent stiffness-to-weight efficiency, which helps translate string energy quickly and evenly across the face, contributing to strong articulation, clarity, and dynamic sensitivity. When combined with tonewoods, this hybrid construction balances modern materials engineering with organic resonance.

By using magnesium instead of more common metals, Alluvium Guitars positions its instruments at the intersection of innovation and craftsmanship. Magnesium’s strength and low density support precise louvered designs that enhance airflow and vibration control, while its stability makes it well suited for custom, small-batch production in the USA. This material choice reinforces Alluvium’s made-to-order philosophy, allowing each guitar to be built with exacting attention to tonal response, feel, and performance, resulting in electric guitars that deliver a distinctive sound and a modern playing experience rooted in advanced materials.
