More than that. Plastics and such have been used for a long time.

Steinberger: All-composite basses, ca. 1980 or thereabouts.
Ibanez Ergodyne and various Conklin (?) basses: Luthite, which AFAIK is some sort of molded composite guk.
Dan Armstrong lucite guitars.
Ovation Adamas (?) composite acoustic guitars.
Rainsong composite acoustic guitars.

And other, lesser-known examples.

Aluminum is a lousy material for instruments, because it expands and contracts like crazy with temperature changes. I once had a Kramer Duke, which had a T-section aluminum neck and no trussrod (wood strips filled in the gaps in the T-section to make a normal neck cross-section). In the winter I'd have to wait a heck of a long time after coming in from outside for the thing to warm up enough to stay in tune.

And don't forget Status....

I just spoke with Keith this morning and he said it stands for:

I think I've got the BFR thing figured out, and if it is, way too cool BP! PRS and the rest will be brick'n it! MM honing in on their exotic-master-built-over-priced 'guitar shaped objects'
