Ultralight Travel Guitar

Introducing the world's lightest full-fret travel guitar, weighing less than 1 pound. What makes this possible is how we take advantage of the advances in modern 3D printing and combine that technical know-how with several innovations:

1. First, we use hollow carbon fiber rods and create hollow gyroid chambers inside the guitar neck itself which resonate -- reducing the need for a large body.
2. Our headstock has built-in recessed cavities for the tuning gears, which eliminates the metal casing or brackets that normally are needed to secure the tuning pegs.  
   
3. Instead of a single truss rod up the middle of the neck like traditional guitars, we use 2 rods under the 1st and 6th strings to lock the frame in place. Having that extra support means the rest of the guitar can be smaller and lighter.
4. The soundbox is removable so that the pieces fit into any backpack, providing a truly portable solution. Other acoustic travel guitars have interesting necks that can fold up, but they are still large guitars that require an entire bag on their own.
