When I did a show with Tony Pulizzi, he told me about Voyage-Air Guitar and that I should have them on the show. I was intrigued on how a guitar could be collapsible and still be able to handle the string tension and be strong enough to be roadworthy to withstand the rigors of the road. So tonight I am joined with CEO of Voyage-Air, Jeff Cohen, Barney Leeson of Customer Support, and Tony Pulizzi, to demonstrate the guitars. Celebrating Voyage-Air's 10th Anniversary, we talk to Barney and Jeff about the company, working with Fender and ABC's Shark Tank, and discover a new approach to guitar design and structure!
