The Atlas-C1
"OUR IMMEDIATE REACTION TO THE AESTHETIC WAS THAT PAUL BISGSBY HIMSELF WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD TO HAVE CONCEIVED THIS DESIGN."
A long overdue, innovative breakthrough product in guitar care excellence, designed to save you time and $$$.
The Atlas-C1 is the first and only tool specifically designed to target and support the weak, vulnerable headstock-neck junction of a stringed instrument.
Finley crafted and precision engineered from stainless steel, the Atlas-C1 applies adjustable targeted resistance that counters typical string tension pressure of 130–140 lbs. when tuned to pitch and serves as a protective support brace when the instrument is de-tuned for travel, storage, or shipping. It's easy to see why the Atlas-C1 is the #1 choice for stringed instrument care and protection.
Headstock repair costs today average $400-$600...that's not a typo! Any debate or decision about being proactive in protecting your investment couldn't be more clear and easy. The Atlas-C1 is a small, one-time investment that returns a lifetime of value.

What If I Already Use a Hard-shell Case for My Guitar?
Most hard-shell cases provide great protection for guitars generally, but they do little to protect or brace the vulnerable headstock neck junction from forward inertia damage also referred to as whiplash breakage. See photos to the left or above on mobile device. Forward inertia damage often reveals itself as neck surface cracks or in too many cases results in total headstock separation. Rough or careless handling incidents continually fill repair shops to the roof with instruments awaiting repairs.
