Foldable Guitar

20120131042

Because it’s not the first foldable guitar we’ve ever seen or introduced here, this one from designers Shlomi Daniel and Uri Nir must have gotten its own unique features, e.g. its tension release mechanism that promises the guitar a perfect timbre even after it is repeatedly folded and unfolded.
