Ciari Guitars, the pioneering brand behind the world’s most innovative travel guitars, proudly announces its first-ever Signature Series model in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning songwriter, guitarist, and rock legend Steve Stevens. Best known for his work with Billy Idol and contributions to music icons like Michael Jackson, as well as culture-defining films such as Top Gun, Stevens brings his unparalleled tone and artistry to Ciari’s revolutionary platform.
The Steve Stevens Signature Ascender™ merges Ciari’s patented folding technology with the high-performance features demanded by elite touring musicians. Designed for tone, portability, and stage-ready aesthetics, the Signature model offers a new benchmark in travel guitar innovation – perfect for stage, studio, and everywhere in between.
“Imagine flying with a truly professional, high-quality guitar and not having to worry about an airline damaging it,” says Stevens. “With my signature Ciari guitar, you just fold it up, stick it in its included backpack, and slide it under your seat. Ciari has changed the game, and I’m proud to put my name on this instrument.”
Crafted with premium materials and custom features handpicked by Stevens himself, the guitar is built for musicians who refuse to choose between convenience and performance. The Signature Ascender features a custom neck profile, premium pickups, and striking visual elements that reflect Steve’s iconic style. The Signature Series includes two models: the Steve Stevens Signature Ascender Platinum, available in Jet Black Glass and Olympic White Gloss, and the Steve Stevens Signature Ascender Premier, available in Jet Black Glass, Olympic White Gloss, and Josie Pink.
The Steve Stevens Signature Ascender boasts the following key features:
- Bare Knuckle Ray Gun pickups for dynamic, precise tone.
- Coil-splitting functionality for versatile sound options.
- LED Selector Switch with Red, Green, and Blue position indicators on the Ray Gun Logo.
- Bezel tuners for effortless, accurate tuning.
- Premium electronics with stacked pots for seamless control.
- Trapezoid inlays and Ray Gun-inspired design elements
- Ciari’s patented foldable neck system allows for “Personal Item” convenience on planes.
“Partnering with Steve Stevens for our first Signature Series is a dream,” said Jonathan Spangler, Founder & CEO of Ciari Guitars. “He embodies everything we value — innovation, excellence, and fearless artistry. This guitar is the culmination of that shared vision.”
