"Ciari Guitars... It stands on its own when it's folded up or not. It's so high level."

"This is what you get when you go all-in on engineering a travel guitar."

"The backline guys were in awe of it. Thank you for making such an IMMACULATE instrument!"

"I love the design of this guitar. I think it looks really, really cool."

"This is the first travel guitar I would be 100 percent comfortable with touring, playing live on-stage, even in the studio."

"This backpack saved our axe! We did our first UK tour and rented a lot of great equipment, but at some point each guitar had issues. The Ciari we brought with us didn't. It was there for each show, ready to go, when the vintage gear and custom shop stuff failed... we would've been screwed without it."–

"My Ascender already made with me 36 long flights, >200h flight time on high altitudes going up/down, all parts of the world, from very cold to very hot. No issues! Best travel instrument ever created!!!"

"Purchasing a Ciari Ascender Guitar is one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. Being a musician that has to deal with airline travel for many of my jobs, the hassles of dealing with limited overhead space as well as closet space can make traveling unbearable.

When I first heard about the company and saw a demo online, my first thought was that it was too good to be true—a folding guitar that actually worked! Not only was the craftsmanship solid and impeccable, but the guitar sounds great and looks great!

One of the many plus aspects of the guitar is the minor amount of tuning necessary after extending the neck to the playing position. The guitar in folded position can easily fit under a plane chair as a carry-on. There is no sliding of the strings off the bridge when in playing position and no going out of tune when you bend the strings.

All in all, it’s a great guitar for the traveling musician and for the money! And it also comes with a free travel case. I’d like to thank Eric Sands for always being available for any question that I may have regarding this amazing product."
