Acoustica, this is from the Chrysalis website, http://chrysalisguitar.com/Prototype_Picture_Gallery2.html
| Quote: | The All-Graphite Chrysalis - The first complete working Chrysalis guitar with accessory-loaded travel case and fabric-covered mylar soundboard. The case meets the airline carry-on spec, and the expressions on the faces of security personnel looking at the X-ray image makes all the development work worthwhile.
The case opens down the middle with all the parts and accessories held in by Velcro or under fabric covers. The inflatable body folds under the left frame, and the electric body cover folds under the right frame. The current case is molded plastic, without the metal trim, and includes a variety of additional items. A couple of 260 caliber bullets are included as plugs for the balloon tube, creating great fun with airport security. It takes 30 seconds to assemble to pitch and looks like you are assembling a rifle, then it really is a guitar, and there is general astonishment and grins all around. |
I don't normally post up manufacturer's guff, but I do like this guy's ideas - true innovation |

I meant to post the blackbird here. Just think carbon fiber is a good choice and I guess that is how they do the hollow neck thing too. Would love to get my hands on one someday.
