Beautiful work of art but I wouldn't say it would fill my need for a flamenco guitar. However, I appreciate your work ethic toward producing an interesting piece.

Not sure I understand what's "flamenco" about this instrument.

I can dig what he’s doing, but instead of flamenco what he’s actually playing is more akin to the alap section of a raga in Indian music.
He’s essentially made an electric bass with no low end in the bass register.

I can’t find fault, because it sounds cool, he just conflated the idea of flamenco with Indian classical raga. Typical hippie mistake.
