FROM CIARI GUITARS:
Our Ascenders are luthier-assembled at our shop in Nashville with components sourced in the US and abroad. At the heart of each Ascender, our luthiers hand-craft neck construction and adjustment, the fret work and set up to augment our Plek machine and achieve our award-winning pro-playability and action.
The Ascender™ premium foldable guitar contains a concealed lever which when deployed unlocks the hinge and releases the tension on the strings so that they gently follow the fold and remain safely in their individual grooves during transit. When ready to play, just unfold the guitar and lock the hinge back in place and you are ready to rock!
Our patented folding system keeps only slight tension on the strings when folded for elegant string management over the hinge, and brings the strings back to full tension with the throw of a lever once unfolded so after a quick “top off tune” you are ready to go!

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
