I'm underwhelmed... Can you imagine the (non-existent) sustain. My son has done some 3d printing at school, I can't think of a worse material for a guitar body.

wow interesting video Fretty, the instruments looks amazing but I must agree a hollow plastic body like that would have no resonance for the strings to bounce sound off and would have a hollow sound.
Probably the same for the drum shells I'd say

Do a google for Orchid guitars, both acoustic and electric carbon fibre body & neck with maple fretboard and schaller hardware.
Made on the Isle of Wight by some top end motorsport dudes, there are only five in existence and a very well known guitarist has 3 of the prototypes on permanent loan because they won't sell them to him.
I was offered an acoustic at cost by the manufacturer but can't justify the outlay.
Web site here http://www.orchidguitars.com/ the website needs updating because the info is now many years old.
