Litejam at CES 2026: An Unforgettable First-Time Experience

Bringing Litejam to CES for the first time was an experience we’ll never forget. CES is where the world’s most exciting inventions and technological breakthroughs are unveiled, and being part of that environment was both inspiring and energizing for our entire team. From the very beginning, we knew CES was special—but we’ll be honest: we also had our doubts. Litejam is deeply rooted in music. It’s a product designed for musicians, creativity, and expression. And while CES is the global stage for cutting-edge technology, we weren’t entirely sure how a music-focused product like ours would fit into such a vast and diverse tech landscape. Would it resonate? Would people “get it” right away?

What happened next completely exceeded our expectations.

From the moment the show opened, we saw a steady stream of attendees stopping by our booth, curious to see and try Litejam for themselves. Watching so many of you experience Litejam for the very first time was nothing short of incredible. The reactions, the smiles, the surprise, and the excitement confirmed something very important to us: Litejam truly stands out. It felt different. It felt fresh. And for many attendees, it was something they hadn’t seen before.

The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. Musicians, creators, tech enthusiasts, and even people who had never picked up a guitar before were genuinely excited by what Litejam offers. Seeing that instant connection—when someone plays a few notes and suddenly “gets it”—was one of the most rewarding moments of the entire show. CES also gave us the chance to meet members of our community face to face, including several of our Kickstarter backers. Being able to put names to faces, share conversations, and let them try what will soon become their own Litejam guitars was incredibly meaningful for us. Your support is what brought us here, and meeting you in person reminded us why this journey matters so much.

On top of everything, this year’s CES was truly special. From what we’ve seen, attendance reached record levels, making the energy throughout the event absolutely electric. Being part of one of the most impressive editions of CES to date makes this milestone even more meaningful for Litejam. Leaving CES, we feel recharged, motivated, and more excited than ever about what’s ahead. This experience has been a massive boost of energy as we head straight into NAMM, and we couldn’t be happier to continue this journey.

To everyone who stopped by the booth, tried Litejam, shared feedback, or simply showed curiosity—thank you. And to our backers and supporters: thank you for believing in us from the beginning. We can’t wait to see you again very soon, with even more energy, at NAMM in Los Angeles.
