I really like the Baby Martin.
Tips: 1) Try all they have in the store and pick the best one--I've noticed some are better then others, but when you find the good one in the bunch it resonates quite well, sounds full for it's size, and plays very well.
2) I used to get stopped in Airport Security and searched all the time when I carried it with the neck up, as the gig bag was intended to be carried. But if I ware the gig back upside down, so the neck was facing down, never do I get stopped. It's just a psychological thing... one looks like a gun case sticking up, the other looks like a back pack.

interesting vid and guitar. i recognize the headpiece on that guitar-it's an ABM-i had one for my 2nd "klein-like" project. i actually liked it way better than the standard steinberger headpiece, but the funny thing when i sold all my steinberger gear and moved away from headless guitars...the steinberger headpiece sold for double what the ABM one did-which i thought was odd, b/c in my estimation it was actually a better design, easier to install, and looked cooler (IMO-ha). oh well. a cool guitar though for sure....

Hi we have seen several several products in the past decades that were somehow foldable. they all disappeared again. maybe they were too complicated? Claude Bowald, one of my best friends and a very sensible guitar player
