The ultimate Stringed instrument support and protection tool!

Atlas-C1

The Atlas C-1 is the first and only tool specifically designed to support the vulnerable headstock-peghead neck junction of a stringed instrument. Crafted from stainless steel with precision engineering, the Atlas C-1 applies targeted mechanical resistance to counter typical string pressure of 130-140 lbs. when tuned to pitch. It also acts as a protective support brace when the instrument is de-tuned for travel, storage, or shipping, making it the professional choice for stringed instrument care.

With headstock repair costs averaging $450 or more, the Atlas C-1 is a small, one-time investment that provides a lifetime of value.

The Atlas-C1 is designed to accommodate the following instruments:

Alvarez, Blueridge, Bourgeois, Breedlove, Collings, D'Angelico, Epiphone, Eastman, Fender, Gibson, Guild, Gretsch, Ibanez, Larrivee, The Loar, C.F. Martin, Rainsong, Schecter, Santa Cruz, Taylor, Takamine, Yamaha, Washburn and many other brands unlisted.

The brands listed are examples only and are the sole property of the named companies.

The Atlas C-1 is well designed, solidly built, and expertly crafted.

If you use a guitar with an angled headstock...man, I'd strongly recommend getting one of these.
