Ascender Standard

Ciari Guitars Ascender Standard model is a new lighter and cheaper model. It was designed in collaboration with guitar making legends, Grover Jackson and Joe Glaser. The pricing comes in at $1800, making it around $1000 cheaper than the Ascender Custom model.

Folding Guitars

The Ciari Guitars use a special folding system based around a throttle-style actuator that loosens or tightens the guitar’s strings prior to folding it up. Even with the folding mechanism these models only weigh in at 7.15 lbs and when folded up they measure a mere 18” inches in length. Making them potentially, the perfect travel guitar for musicians on the move.

    Just get a Steinberger, it sounds great and looks more cool.

    That’s some serious mechanical engineering. Just thinking of possible use cases… whilst waiting for three hours stuck on the tarmac you could whip out the Foldiecaster from the overhead locker for a rendition of Why Are We Waiting.
