The minimalistic movement is big in photography and art, and it’s invading the world of music now by getting rid of everything but the essentials with the Gittler Guitar.
Forget the bulky body of old-school guitars because even the sleekest design appears cumbersome when compared to this futuristic-looking musical device.
While it’s about as minimal as you can get, the Gittler still provides everything you need to make music, including headless tuners and rounded frets with LED indicators on the tips. There’s even a detachable acrylic neck for those that want a little more something to hold onto, and a mini-tripod insures that you can get to the full 31-fret range.
This sleek guitar comes in two unique styles –
Gittler Guitar – Classic Model
- Guitar with choice of LED color: White, Blue, Yellow
- Custom molded metal case
