I've heard samples of Ned's playing before and it's phenomenal. 

I do have one gear-related question though. I can understand the
advantage of the glass fingerboard (brighter, better sustain), but how
can this work in practice? Wouldn't it negate the effects of the
trussrod? Isn't it fragile to travel with?

There's a French company that makes a fretless guitar with a metal
fingerboard. Seems like that would be more serviceable for the
traveling musician.
