Travel guitars are all well and good but you’d never want to try and rock out with one on stage. However Brightonian Jonathan Hirsch has developed a new type of guitar, which he describes as combining “the convenience of a travel guitar with the elegant curves of a classic electric.” The unique design of the Hirsch SB-1 incorporates a full size neck meaning any cack-handed riffing is your own fault. All this innovation comes at a price – you’ll need to do a lot of busking to rustle up the four grand asking price. But it’s quality all the way through and with only five available we can see axe gods fighting to get their hands on it for international tours. For more information visit hirsch-guitar.com.
