This is such a great idea! I kind to build guitars this size (4 strings, so you can tune/play like cigar box guitars, probably wood.) I've been working on little solid state practice amps and preamps for them for years on and off, too. I should get my latest prototype working again (MOSFET/JFET "fetzer valve" preamp, class-D solid state power amp, 100 watts, 6.5" full range speaker, with speaker cab emulator circuit in the preamp -- sadly, despite all this coolness, the preamp doesn't work) and demo it..

Super curious about the three string guitar. Lugging around the guitar is definitely the big and breakable part of the equation

Yeah I've been peeping the site on my phone. Seems cool. I'd love to try one. I know my grandpas baritone uke is a songwriting maching. Seems like the same concept except the Bari uke is the top 4 strings of a guitar and I'd tune this up like the bottom three I think.

Yeah, I've only got a couple of concerns too.
They're a little expensive (although, they do look well made).
Not sure if that knob placement would interfere with my playing.
They do look perfect for travel though.
