Cool looking guitar.  I was wondering what the neck looked like so I looked up their web site.

I think some of the comments are spot on though.  An oval neck tube would probably be better, the sound could be improved and $3k is WAY too much.

I like seeing stuff I've never seen- thanks Bapu.
 
Not sure what I think about it though. I have a lot of thoughts
and opinions but without playing one kind of hard to evaluate.
 
It doesn't seem like an instrument I'd care to play.

I thought the explanation about the shared coefficient of thermal expansion was fun. It doesn't explain that the structure and *massing* of material will effect the dimensional changes attributed to expansion and contraction non linearly.
 
The inference that the system will remain stable, or at least predictable because of material selection, as implied by the premise, will not be experienced. If and when that instrument reacts to a change in heat it will do so in as complex a manner as any other structure.
 
It does introduce the concept though, and can lead to the idea that materials science can be applied in a complimentary way so that any effect of temperature change may be counteracted within the system to achieve a goal of stability.
 
An example of this is the use of expansion joints in a concrete structure. Concrete expands and contracts wildly with thermal change yet it can be juxtaposed with instances of a rubber material that allows a system to function as a stable structure.
 
Enuff about that...

I guess you wouldn't want to touch that thing--let alone play it--after it's been in the car on a cold winter's night.  You might also have spend a lot of time cleaning off finger prints.

  I bet the kid's tongue is playing Am on that upright version of the stainless.

$3K ??? Looks like someone knocked it up in metalwork evening classes.
