The made-to-order Ascender™ Custom is the world’s first stage-quality, full-size professional electric guitar with patented folding technology. A Guitar Player Magazine Editor’s Pick, this is the best travel guitar for serious, on-the-go guitarists. 

This folding electric guitar features a hybrid Les Paul/Tele body with finishes available in gloss, bursts, and satin over a basswood body with an optional maple/flame veneer.

A basic 3+3 headstock with GraphTech® Ratio Locking Tuners tops a natural or jet black neck with ebony or Pau Ferro fingerboards. Enhanced electronics offer a wide range of tonal variety, including stacked pots and coil-tap for independent tone, volume and split, and a pick-up selector. Featuring our award-winning side-lever actuator, this folding electric guitar is a true workhorse that goes wherever the music takes you.

Left-handed guitar is available at no charge.

The Ascender™ comes with a stylish, quilted Ciari Gig Bag. For the ultimate in travel convenience, throw it in our durable “personal item” size Ciari Backpack, sold separately.
