Accessibility and Playability
The GS Mini and Academy 22e models are designed with accessibility in mind. Both feature six-string dimensions, providing plenty of real estate to move around, which Collier highlighted as a key benefit: “It shows there is clearly an appetite from players to embrace and explore Collier’s guitar playing school of thought – something that has now been furthered by the arrival of the Jacob Collier Academy 22e and GS Mini models.”
Collier’s commitment to making his unique approach to guitar playing more accessible reflects a broader trend in the music industry, where innovative instruments are increasingly being developed to cater to diverse musical styles and playing techniques.
Conclusion
The launch of these new guitars marks another significant step in Jacob Collier’s journey as a modern-day guitar hero. As players from all walks of life continue to explore alternate tunings and unconventional playing methods, the GS Mini and Academy 22e models will likely play a crucial role in shaping the future of five-string guitar music.
