Ascender Trio Electric Guitar
The Ultimate in Tonal Versatility
The Ascender Trio is the most versatile guitar in the Ciari lineup, offering three customizable pickup configurations to meet the needs of every player. Choose the SSS setup for sparkling, single-coil clarity, the HSS configuration for bold, balanced tone with a Seymour Duncan ‘59 humbucker in the bridge, or the HSH option for high-gain crunch with humbuckers at both the bridge and neck. With this tonal flexibility, the Ascender Trio is the ultimate tool for exploring your sound.
Built for both performance and portability, the Ascender Trio features a weight-relieved basswood body and a natural-finish mahogany neck with a premium ebony fingerboard. PLEK-machined for optimal action and playability, this guitar is designed for comfort during every session. The custom Ciari locking tuners ensure your tuning remains perfect, even after folding.
Ciari’s patented folding mechanism allows the Ascender Trio to collapse to 18.5 inches for effortless travel. The aircraft-grade aluminum hinge and floating tailpiece keep the strings secure during transit, so you’re ready to perform wherever inspiration strikes.
Finished in stunning colors like Virtual Blue, Seafoam Green, and Rampart Red, the Ascender Trio makes a bold statement in both look and sound. It comes with a Ciari Quilted Travel Bag for secure, stylish portability.
