Wheely Guitars has unveiled the Wheely, the world’s first guitar designed to be played in a wheelchair.
Made in the USA, the Wheely’s patent-pending design allows guitarists to play comfortably, thanks to chair arm, leg and belly relief; a comfort neck carve; and custom jack position, to allow for chair arm cable clearance.
Spec-wise, it features an alder body, three-piece Eastern hard-rock maple neck and 25.5” rosewood fingerboard, as well as a Hipshot through-body fixed bridge, zero fret and Seymour Duncan pickups.
You can watch Team USA wheelchair basketball gold medalist Abby Dunkin demo a Wheely guitar in the video above.
The Wheely is available to order now for $1,200 from Wheely Guitars, in Burnout Blue, Hot Rod Red, Racetrack Black and Wheely White finishes.
“A unique octave bass fuzz with a built-in, 2-voice ring modulator”: The Maestro BB-1 Brassmaster is a super-rare bass octave fuzz from the ‘70s that sounds great on guitar, sells for $2,000+, and Behringer just made a $69 clone of it
“Maintain a consistently optimal neck setup, playability, and string action, regardless of changing environmental conditions”: Has Furch just made acoustic guitar setups a thing of the past with its new CNR System Active neck?
