When I had the opportunity to review Atlas C-1, I immediately thought of my own headstock break saga. I had purchased a guitar with a broken headstock, had it repaired, but my negligence caused it to break again. Having a C-1 would have helped with the repair and kept it from breaking again. More than that, I’m now way more confident traveling with that guitar with the C-1 in place! Great concept and solid piece of gear.
"The Atlas-C1 is such a great idea, and a product that guitar players have been needing for a long time."
"It’s a brilliant piece of hardware for a working musician that travels with their favorite Gibson, Gretsch or other angled headstock instruments."
"Simply put, the Atlas is a must-have for musicians traveling with a guitar. The biggest concern about traveling with your guitar has now been eliminated. The Atlas leaves you with peace of mind, I’ll never leave home without it."

"I have done literally hundreds and hundreds of headstock
repairs in the past 40 years. I will now bring [the Atlas-C1] with me when I go
to collect vintage Les Pauls because I’m pretty sure that with this piece
installed, the very fragile headstock area is protected and reinforced in a
manner that causes no damage. Expertly crafted from stainless steel, padded in
all the right places… it is a very well-designed and manufactured piece. It was very easy to adjust to my 1952 Les Paul. I will go on record as recommending that anybody that has a classic Les Paul or other Gibson guitar that is regularly transported by means outside of your control, I would recommend purchasing these as easy insurance. I am impressed."
