Ciari Guitars has officially launched its first-ever Signature Series model with the introduction of the Steve Stevens Signature Ascender — a revolutionary travel guitar that combines folding technology with high-end performance features. Specifically designed for musicians who are always on the move, this innovative guitar boasts premium materials, custom pickups, and one-of-a-kind design details.
The collaboration brings together Ciari Guitars, known for creating some of the most advanced travel guitars on the market, and Grammy Award-winning guitarist and songwriter Steve Stevens. Recognized globally for his legendary work with Billy Idol, as well as contributions to Michael Jackson and iconic soundtracks like Top Gun, Stevens now brings his signature tone and creativity to Ciari’s state-of-the-art platform.
The Steve Stevens Signature Ascender™ showcases Ciari’s patented folding neck technology, fused with elite-level performance specifications. Engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality, easy portability, and eye-catching aesthetics, this model sets a new standard for professional-grade travel guitars. Ideal for use on stage, in the studio, or during travel, this guitar ensures musicians never have to compromise.
“Imagine flying with a professional, high-quality guitar without worrying about airline damage,” says Stevens. “With my signature Ciari guitar, you fold it up, place it in its included backpack, and slide it under your seat. Ciari has truly changed the game, and I’m honored to have my name on this instrument.”
Personally crafted with materials and components chosen by Stevens himself, the guitar is built for performers who demand both convenience and top-tier performance. It includes a custom neck profile, exclusive pickups, and visual details that reflect Stevens’ distinctive style.
The Signature Series features two editions:
