Ridgewing Guitars
The Ridgewing Guitar is a modular system that allows the player to customize their guitar to achieve different playing setups and express their own personal style. The guitar utilizes the tension of the strings to hold itself together, and each part is easily swapped out for another without using any tools when the tension is released. The modularity of the Ridgewing Guitar also makes it one of the most versatile full sized travel guitars.
