RUclips just randomly recommended me this video and guitar made of bamboo is something I just had to hear :) I know bamboo is used for various traditional flutes such as shakuhachi, quena, bansuri and xiao (I had some of these and weirdly I recognize the sound quality even though it's a completely different type of instrument, there is just something about bamboo resonance, hmm...). From my experience with flutes it's very susceptible to temperature changes and cracks easily from as much as opening a window during winter (these are very easy to repair though). Does it behave differently when used to build a guitar? I'm quite fascinated with the concept and would love to learn more about bamboo as guitar tonewood.
Bamboo does indeed crack very easily, which I have learned the hard way in the past.. since then, I have specially designed my bamboo guitars in such a way to prevent the cracks. It is no longer an issue for my guitars :)
