Graphite

Who says guitars must be made from wood? There are guitars that are made of graphite. Rainsong is one.
The benefit of using graphite is rather obvious: more durable than wood. The soundboard will not sink or crack like the wooden ones (although it takes quite a lot of negligence for that to happen). And all-graphite necks like those on Rainsong are definitely more resistant to wrapping. Watch the video below to learn more on it.
Youtube videos usually don't do much justice on the guitar's tone so judging its tone based on Youtube videos would be inaccurate. Maybe you might want to visit Brendon @ BGW Guitars to try them out personally.
