I can understand thinking “outside the box” but…. no thanks. Then again,
I’ve never played one either. Might be sick AF!
Doesn’t look very appealing. That’s just me tho. It is pretty cool. 😊

I think Best travel guitar is shark guitars. 😉

This is 5% more convenient than taking the neck off.
There is almost no situation where you would need this. Who can’t spend 10 minutes tuning and screwing a neck on and needs to travel constantly with a full size guitar that cannot otherwise be stored.
Everyone knows it kills the string tone when you take them on and off and everytime this guitar folds it’s doing the same thing. Certainly not making them stronger and more reliable.

What's the point. It's going to effect the tuning.

I agree,keeping this guitar in tune is probably gonna suck and is there a need for something like this.

...so just tune it again like any other guitar when it goes out of tune, lol.
