It sounds God awful on the first sound clip. Can't imagine any serious player least of all a Classical player going for that. At least you could get some cool DJ Scratch effects on those grooves. Can't imagine a golpe would be too comfortable though.

Balinese carving (in stone and wood alike) is impressive, to say the least, and it could be used to produce some striking guitar-shaped objets d'art. But what they've done to that poor slice of spruce/cedar... even joining the twain in the first place is something of an abomination... and then to claim it enhances the guitar's tone? This approaches hubris, gentlemen, the pride which offends the gods.
But I'd still play one if it were handy, just to check it out. I have sympathy for reckless daring.

Yes, and I bet if PdL, Tomatito or Vicente had to use one on their next concert tour, the guy wouldn't be able to make them fast enough to meet the demand.
