Guitar Gear Gems this week takes a look at some of the new products from last week’s NAMM show. Including the new Strandberg Boden Meloria concept travel guitar. Ciari Guitars’ Ascender P90 folding neck travel guitar and the all-new LR Baggs HiFi acoustic guitar pickup system.
Boden Meloria
Strandberg showed off via Instagram, the new Boden Meloria which is a lightweight travel guitar concept.
The guitar was originally the suggestion of the Swedish cycle team memeber Andreas Danielsson. He plays the guitar when not cycling and Strandberg decided to have a go at building a lightweight travel guitar.

This titanium guitar has extendable wings and uses a mountain bike thru-axle to fasten the wings. It has a main body and neck made from carbon fibre-reinforced composite with a Richlite fretboard.
The single Lacer Alumitone pickup was also chosen for its lightweight properties.
Ascender P90
Ciari Guitars also were showing off another travel guitar called the Ascender P90. This model literally folds in half and is loaded with a single Seymour Duncan P-90 pickup.

It has a chambered basswood body to keep the weight down. The guitar uses the company’s bespoke folding mechanism to fold the mahogany 24.75″ scale-length neck.
MSRP – USD 1599
HiFi Acoustic Guitar pickups
The new LR Baggs HiFi pickup system offers a new way to amplify your acoustic guitar. Two pickups are glued inside the body under the bridge. The new system supposedly offers a very high quality of sound and should help to make your acoustic sound as natural as possible.

A single battery charge should last for more than 700 hours.
MSRP – USD 199
