The Ascender Standard offers a perfect balance of timeless tone, modern craftsmanship, and revolutionary portability. This full-sized electric guitar is equipped with dual Seymour Duncan ‘59 humbuckers that deliver warm, rich harmonics, silky sustain, and the classic sound of vintage rock and blues. From smooth, soulful melodies to roaring riffs, the Ascender Standard’s tonal range adapts effortlessly to your playing style.
Crafted with a weight-relieved basswood body and a PLEK-machined mahogany neck, the Ascender Standard provides exceptional comfort and precision. Its shallow C profile and premium ebony fingerboard ensure easy playability, while medium jumbo frets and softened edges allow for smooth transitions and extended playing sessions. Ciari’s custom locking tuners keep your strings perfectly in tune, whether you’re on stage or on the move.
Thanks to Ciari’s patented folding design, the Ascender Standard folds down to just 18.5 inches, making it the perfect companion for musicians who travel. The aircraft-grade aluminum hinge and floating tailpiece keep the strings secure and under tension, so your guitar is ready to perform as soon as it unfolds.
Finished in bold colors like Olympic White, Jet Black, Rampart Red, Virtual Blue, and Seafoam Green, the Ascender Standard stands out both visually and sonically. It comes with a Ciari Quilted Travel Bag for added convenience, ensuring you’re always ready to play.
