Hate to be a nay-sayer nerdy-boy but......

couldn't he have used a classier bridge-saddle set-up? Those adjustable thingys will definitely not bring out the full resonance of the glass. The inexpensive tuners (three on a plate!!) are hardly what I'd expect on a 19,000 dollar (well that's what he wants!) guitar. May I suggest the stained glass Vaverleys.

Now the "nite-lite" idea ain't bad. You could just leave the guitar plugged in beside your bed.....much better than one of those battery lights from the Dollar store.

A nice clear tone as well.

Anybody else notice that the neck/body joint is at the 16th fret? All the math and geometry involved in making something like this and the guy can't count to 14 correctly?

"Decorative Purposes Only"? Why not just a thin-paneled guitar front that can be hung on a wall like a painting?

Next, s/he will insert a clock face. :)

Yeah, there is a warning not to string it with real strings, so it's the prototype for the improved later versions also mentioned, that have inner reinforcement. A pretty toy. Or a sales sample to gain commissions.

The kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall
Stuff that's real... stuff you feel
The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall"
