They wouldn't tell me what it is. Much lighter than steel, but the guitar weighed a ton and cost much more than the G&L-Freenote guitar. I've got one (G&L/Freenote), check out http://microtones.com I imagine that a glass fingerboard might be nice, Ned told me they aren't fragile, but I have my doubts. Of course, the glass could be something like Corning Ware. But given how necks flex with the weather, I wonder how a glass fingerboard would stay bonded to a wood neck changing with the seasons. The Freenote treatment is some kind of hard plastic. No dead spots - the high .010 doesn't sustain was well as the other strings, but with a bit of volume it does just fine. nada brahma, db -- * D a v i d B e a r d s l e y * 49/32 R a d i o "all microtonal, all the time" * http://www.virtulink.com/immp/lookhere.htm * http://mp3.com/davidbeardsley
