Klos is a [guitar manufacturer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martin-guitar) that is redesigning the instrument for travelling consumers with a conveniently detachable guitar neck. The compartmentalized aesthetic of the guitar allows players to take the guitar apart and make it much more compact to fit into [bags and suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-transit-carryon) while on-the-go. This is ideal for musicians that carry guitars to and from venues, as it makes the process much more simpler.

In addition to a detachable neck that can be reattached to the guitar's body, the instrument is also made from [carbon fibre](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-carbon-cello). This provides a much more lightweight body that is highly resistant to scratches, dropping and cracking. The material further enhances the guitar's design for travel, making it virtually indestructible to damage as well as portable.
