The Ascender™ P90 Solo™, is the latest exciting model of the world’s first and only patented, professional-grade, full-sized, folding electric guitar.
Combining award-winning design with expert luthier craftsmanship, the Ascender P90 Solo embraces an asymmetric, surf-forward, satin basswood body style, 3+3 headstock, natural-neck finish with ebony fingerboard, Ciari locking tuners, an OEM-exclusive Seymour Duncan P90 bridge pickup, master tone and volume electronics, and a distinctive and stylish pickguard.
Compact, foldable, and packing huge sound with unparalleled tone, the Ascender P90 Solo is uniquely designed for the modern musician who demands precision, portability, and most of all…performance. That’s why we use highly accurate, computer-controlled Plek machining technology to optimize EVERY Ascender P90 Solo neck, ensuring perfect action and flawless playability.
Tonally, the Seymour Duncan P90 Silencer bridge pick-up offers the best of both worlds: the brightness and clarity of a single-coil, but with the mid-range punch of a humbucker.
Our patented folding system combines an aircraft-grade mid-neck hinge, a translating locking strut to selectively immobilize the hinge, and a floating tailpiece to selectively tighten and loosen the strings, which enables the Ascender P90 Solo to fold in half symmetrically for a folded length of 18.5”. When the Ascender P90 Solo is folded, elegant string management keeps the strings in place and under light tension (~3 lbs.). Our custom locking tuners ensure everything stays crisp and in tune when unfolded for play.
The Ascender P90 Solo guitar is offered in 5 amazing colors. Black, White, SeaFoam Green, Red and Blue.
The left-handed option is available at no charge.
The Ascender P90 Solo comes with a stylish, quilted Ciari Gig Bag. For the ultimate in travel convenience, throw it in our durable personal-item size Ciari Backpack, sold separately.
