I wasn't criticizing... I merely wanted to understand why this method had to be used and you have shed some light on it perhaps but not much. Why is it stronger when pieces are laminated. It doesn't make sense to me, but I'm no engineer so I may be thinking about it all wrong. Seems to me though that the bonds between sheets of glass would be weaker than the bonds within solid glass. So I'm still puzzled. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm just trying to understand as I find this quite interesting.

I'm The guy's partner that makes the guitars. If it was cast as a mold it would not be strong enough to with stand the tension of the strings. The neck is much stronger when pieces are laminated together. It took a "Glazer" to come up with this very simple idea that seemed to be imposible to everybody else. And the guy is not even a guitarist, He's a drummer so You know He can't be that smart. He just thought about it for two days and visualized it then built it. So all You people say what You will. We're already famous and We're going to be better off then We were before, weather You think We deserve it or not. We never knew making a my space page would lead to all of this attention.

I don't know anything about working with glass... but after brief research I don't understand why it can't be cast in an appropriate clay mould with cavities for components and polished with diamond pads afterwards. Would it not be possible to make a clear glass guitar in this way? Does anyone know why it's not that simple?
