“It holds its own purely as a playable guitar. It’s really cool for the traveling musician – you can bring it on a flight and it fits beneath the seat”: Why Steve Stevens put his name to a foldable guitar

Steve Stevens' Ciari Ascender.

Steve Stevens usually plays Les Pauls and Hamers – but he slapped his name on Ciari’s Ascender Premier after being impressed by its no-compromises foldable design.

He’s even named one after his wife, Josie. His Ascender comes in Josie Pink, gloss black and gloss white. Yes. it’s a travel guitar, but Stevens says there’s more to it. “I’ve done a number of tracks with it while I’m on the road,” he tells Guitar World.
