i don't really understand how you would go about folding the neck without having the loose strings get bent and come off the tuning pegs. This idea doesn't really seem to be all that practical.
@snakeeyedsissy These guitars don't have a typical tuning nut where the strings rest on top due to tension. The strings are actually held in place, so they don't go all over the place when you fold it.
untune your guitar to save a miniscule amount of space.. if you go on an airplane, check your baggage with your guitar, who the hell needs to take it on the plane with them..
Because generally they're too big for carry-on and are extra large as checked bags which these days can cost you nearly $200, just to take your guitar with you.
That's pretty cool. I travel a lot but the airline I fly mostly (Midwest) doesn't bat an eye when I take my classical on board in a soft case. I just stow it in the overhead. But there are some flights where overhead space is limited (like on a 707) and this would be perfect. Any idea if they're going to be making a nylon model as well? Thanks for posting this!
it's a well crafted guitar and sounds nice. It is nice if you have limited space at home as well. This really is a traveling guitar as a lot of people travel by themselves to do solo acoustic gigs.

That must take so much sustain out of the guitar?

Won't you need to tune it every time?
