Seems like there'd be tuning problems but I guess you could also use it as a ghetto whammy bar XD

This idea is stolen from Pete Townsend, he folded his guitars every night on stage many years ago already tongue.gif

This would rock way too hard...

I can imagine going on holdiay, sitting on the balcony whipping out a folded guitar with my Pandora and living the life i was intended to live tongue.gif

Then going home two weeks later....

..ah well.

Cool biggrin.gif

But surely you'd only be able to fold that guitar if it wasn't strung? If it had strings attached surely they would break or something?

The bridge contains a little engin which unwinds the strings so you can fold the guitar.

Seems nice to carry.

But now I am addicted to neck-thru guitar tongue.gif That would be really hard to make foldable laugh.gif

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 13 2008, 05:01 PM

heheeh funny gadget smile.gif
Also I guess you need extra long strings for guitar to be able to fold like that smile.gif
