Atlas C1-A by Olor Cantus, LLC.
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 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.
About the Atlas
The Atlas C-1 is a stainless-steel precision tool engineered to apply targeted mechanical pressure, countering the typical string force of 130-140 lbs. exerted at the vulnerable headstock/neck junction of (3-on-3) six-string guitars tuned to standard pitch (440Hz). When properly fitted, the Atlas C-1 creates a net force of zero, achieving static equilibrium exactly where it’s needed to provide comprehensive protection.
The innovative design of the Atlas C-1 accommodates all (3-on-3) six-string guitars with nut widths up to 50mm and break angles from 10 to 28 degrees. For full-time protection, it’s recommended to keep the Atlas C-1 on the instrument when not in use—whether on a stand, with slackened strings, in storage, or during transport.
