Alusonic is an Italian instrument builder based in Morciano di Romagna, founded by Andrea "Polly" Pollice. The company specializes in basses and guitars constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum alloys — primarily Anticorodal and Ergal — typically paired with traditional wood necks. Alusonic has also produced what it markets as the first aluminum bass cabinets, the ALU112 and ALU212.

The lineup centers on bass guitars, with the Django and Django GTS/H, J-Special, S-Special, and The Doom hybrid series among its recognizable models. Hybrid builds combine wood with aluminum or carbon fiber bodies, aimed at reducing weight while preserving the metallic tonal character the brand is known for — a fat low end, pronounced attack, and extended sustain. Pollice designs and contracts bespoke bridges, pickups, and preamps through Italian partners rather than producing parts in-house.

Alusonic instruments have been associated with players including Cass Lewis (Skunk Anansie), Max Gazzè, and Alberto Rigoni, the latter of whom helped build the brand's early online visibility. The company maintains showrooms in Italy, Japan, and the UK.

Alusonic has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars and Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Classical. Notable users include Justin Lockey, Ace, and Richard Lewis.
