Hi y'all

Currently, I'm doing a apprenticeship as a kind of conventional/CNC machinist. I've been playing guitar for quite a time now and I'm thinking about building my own guitar.
Because of my work background I'd like to mill the guitar out of aluminium.
My dream would be an 8-string multiscale with an iceman shape but I don't know if this is possible etc. Because of this I have a few questions.

• Body and neck out of Aluminium or only body?
• Are there sources where I can find specific measures of the guitar? (mainly for CAD/CAM part)
• Would you advise to probably buy the neck because of special reasons?
• Does an aluminium guitar feel very different to play?
• Do you have tips&tricks in general? (but particulary for the neck)

Also, if someone who has experience in that field would be interested in helping or/and coaching me a bit can send me a DM or comment.

IMPORTANT:
At this point, this is only an idea. For example I don't know if i would even be allowed to do this at work.

Thank you all in advance!

Also my English isn't the best...
