Well, when I get unsolicited emails from guitar companies I have to share them here.

I just watched the video on their site. It looks like it would be really unbalanced to play. It also kind of sounds like a Mandolin.

My very first thought in looking at it - other than laughing, was that it looked like it would not be very easy to play.
 
If it's a "one of a kind instrument", how do they expect you to sell more than one?

Smells scamalicious...
 
You'll not only save inventory space, but your customers won't know how horrible it is until we have their money! Order today!
 
Tell them you want a free one to try it out to make sure you aren't selling your customers junk.
 
It looks much more plausible in the video below. If I did a lot of travel on packed business shuttles this would make a lot more sense than other travel acoustics. That said, I wouldn’t pay $350 without trying it first. And a six-string ukelele with a case costs far less money.

You can travel pretty much anywhere and pick up a used POS acoustic for $25... don't see the point in taking one with you.
