a bamboo guitar?

first act has apparently made a bamboo guitar (and a cheap one at that) in an attempt to be eco friendly. they claim that bamboo is harder than maple, and makes an excellent tone wood.

i can only see one glaring issue here.. the body is likely made of 50+ different tiny pieces of wood.. which could likely greatly affect tone.

This one is stupid ugly... yet I'm attracted. Sorta 'Sears Slobbertone' remake.

Hi.

Quite a few discussions here.

As for the amount of glue vs. wood, well..., some people prefer necks made out of plastic... .

Regards
