Hello Cvilleira,

Pretty neat, I'd like to see it in 50 years.
Heck I just like to be here in 50 years. :shock:

Thanks for that great link.

Cheers.

Wow, a guitar made from "weed," because bamboo really is one, in the garden sense....

Not a bit surprised. I read the current Mr Martin (the fourth?) at Martin Guitars talking about the increasing difficulty of getting tonewood of the highest quality and saying we were likely to see all kinds of weird materials turning up in years to come - on high end guitars, too.

They're already doing some strange stuff in obscure corners of the Martin catalog - but I haven't seen a bamboo Martin... Yet.

Cheers - C

PS In the vid, does his control plate look very crooked...?
