Stow-Away Collapsible Electric Guitar
By Alice Hill
RealTechNews
This is a cool idea that I bet is more trouble than it is worth. The Stow-Away Electric Guitar has a special “clip joint” connection system that allows you to snap off the headless neck of the guitar and stow it in a slot on the back. The guitar itself is top notch, but I cannot picture what a drag it would be to have to re-string and re-tune the thing everytime I packed it up. Price: $499 - $699 Source: Stowaway Guitars via Coolbuzz

I suggest that you view the instructions movie at http://www.stewartguitars.com/images/StowAway%20MPG3%20for%20flash%2030.html
The strings are not removed, and whenever I play a guitar I always check the tuning anyway.

Check It Out: Stewart’s Stow-Away Travel Guitar » Electric Guitar Review says:
[…] Hehe… I came across this post over at Real Tech News this morning, and I thought I’d better share the goods with you all––it’s the Stow-Away Travel Guitar from Stewart Guitars. This electric guitar, which features an alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard and a trio of single-coil pickups, is apparently so collapsible you can fit it into a standard sized briefcase… as you can see from the photo, Stewart’s Clip-Joint neck connection system allows you to remove the entire neck and stow it right in the back of the guitar. Which got me thinking: pair this baby with a Pignose and you’ve got a full-on guitar/amp travel combo… sweet!

Half the fun of playing guitar is carrying the guitar case and having someone ask: “Whatcha playin?” Even if the case is empty when someone asks: “Whatcha got in the case?”, one can reply slyly: ” a ‘68 Status”. Briefcases offer no such opportunity…this from a drummer ;>)

“Too large for carry-on, sir.” is enough to give a serious guitar player chills. This axe gives players the option of collapsing it down to briefcase size for easy no-hassle carry-on airport check-in. One can always carry a soft gig bag to put the fully extended guitar in for show and affectation if desired.
A small Steinberger will also allow easy carry-on with a soft bag (pending any new security weirdness); paired with a Roland MircoCube, one is ready to rock the world!
