Hey guys, I thought this looked interesting. Something about a new type of neck, it is a tension free neck. The site says something about increased sustain and easier playability. Wonder if it is any good or if anyone has heard about this before. Looks like the headstock comes right off, weird.

Looks interesting. Has anybody tried this out?

There's a company in here in Cape Town making, whats called an Afri-Can guitar which has a machined aluminum neck and an oil can for a body, they have quite an amazing tone. I haven't played one yet but I have heard David Kramer playing one on stage. It follows very much in the tradition of the local "blik" (afrikaans for "tin") guitar which is a crudely built home made guitar made by local rural musicians using a 5 litre oil can and a piece of wood for a neck.
