You never see these for sale and this one is near mint (two tiny scratches.. see in the picture) This one is the cool looking purple.
I don't play guitar just collected them from 15 - 17+ years ago and I have 50+ guitars; it's time to sell all of them. My Rogue Aluminator slotted aluminum body (Abel Axe) is nice, real nice. Please note I charge here $90 for shipping. The guitar box costs me $15 and then I find the cheapest way to send it to you. Whatever money is left over I credit it back to your Paypal or send you a check, whatever you want. I took the info below from two different sites. Look up Rogue Aluminator, The bodies were made by Abel Axe
All The Tools You’d Expect to Find in a Custom Guitar The aluminum body is only part of the Aluminator's claim to fame. Before I plugged it in for a test flight, I was surprised by its weight. Even with holes, the Aluminator is no lightweight. As soon as I picked it up I knew I was holding a serious sonic weapon. The Aluminator comes equipped with a 25.5" maple neck that has a smooth, solid feel. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard plays as fast as your fingers can fly. And a fixed- tailpiece bridge adds an extra dose of, sustain and stability, so you don't sail out of tune every time you pound a power chord. If you're into the tonal nuances good electronics can add to your music, you'll appreciate the Aluminator’s DiMarzio pick- ups. There are specially-designed DiMarzio single-coil pickups at the neck and middle position, and a custom DiMarzio humbucker at the bridge. Plus, three toggle switches located right beside the volume and tone controls allow you to dial in 11 different pickup configurations. The two switches closest to the neck are simple on/off switches for each of the single-coil pickups. The bottom 3-position toggle lets you choose either the full humbucker, bypass the humbucker, or select a single coil. By using the toggles in different positions, you can really tailor your sound much more than with a single 5- position switch.The history of this guitar is somewhat fuzzy, however here is what I know.The body shape of the aluminator is reminiscent of a Fender Stratocaster. As mentioned already the guitar was milled from a billet of aluminum.The 25.5" scale, 22 fret, bolt-on neck was made of maple with a rosewood fretboard with dot markers. The six on a side headstock pointed and painted featuring the Rogue logo.Rogue is the house brand featured by Musician's Friend.The perimeter of the body is slotted, thus allowing a decrease in the guitar's weight. The center of the body contains the pickups controls and wiring harness.This guitar had 1 volume control and 1 tone control. The potentiometer knobs were similar to those on a Telecaster. The Aluminator also had 3 mini-throw switches; one for each pickup. This allows any combination of pickups to be off or on and gives 11 different sounds.The end of the body featured a non-trem Strat-style bridge with six adjustable saddles.Although it did not allow for the Kahler style, dive bomb sounds that were popular with the shredders of the day, the fixed bridge did help with sustain. It was offered in different MF catalogues from $549 to $699. The catalogue I recall was asking $599 for the guitar. The guitar came in silver, purple, red or black.The Rogue Aluminator is sometimes confused with guitars manufactured by Able Axe. Able Axe founder and builder, Jeff Able built the guitars for Musicians Friend to sell under the Rogue Brand.
