The Atlas C-1
"Our immediate reaction to the aesthetic was that Paul Bigsby himself would have been proud to have conceived this design"
The Ultimate Stringed Instrument Support and Protection Tool!
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 the 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.
Testimonials







Pete Townshend"I prefer them to shatter. Ha ha. But it looks very cool."
Greg Martin"Friends and neighbors, I've traveled many miles on buses and planes over the years, I've got some horror stories concerning my guitars. If you're Gibson player like myself and you travel, you need the C1! Your guitar's neck is on the line, get one!"
Vic Johnson"How many times have you heard a Les Paul player say 'I wish someone made a brace of some kind to support my headstock when shipping or flying on a domestic flight??' Finally someone has answered the call! The Atlas C-1 is perfect for protecting against headstock breaks.... A sigh of relief for your precious instrument."
Mike Slubowski"As a player/collector, I'm geeked about the Atlas-C1. I have a large guitar collection, many vintage and modern reissues, and most are Gibsons with the vulnerable neck/headstock area. The Atlas C-1 gives me peace of mind when shipping guitars and/or transporting them to gigs, as well as when a guitar is sitting on its stand. I would recommend this innovative device to anyone who cares about their instruments and wants to be worry-free!"
