Pretty sure I saw it here at CBN, but all my keyword searches -- compact, collapsible, folding, shrinking, retractable, spring-loaded -- find me nothing.
Basically, this box could travel in your suitcase, maybe even a backpack. When it's time to play, loosen two bolts and slide the neck out from the trough where it sleeps. The strings are anchored to a bar which descends as the neck rises, and the bolts are retightened to lock everythig in place. When it's bedtime, loosen the bolts and coil springs pull the anchor bar up and the neck back in.
There's the tiniest chance that I dreamed about reading this and it's my own brilliant invention. More likely my memory is failing, so I'm searching for the wrong keywords,
Can I get some help here?

I don't remember seeing a retractable CBG, but there was a retractable Ukulele video posted here.
Maybe this is what you were thinking about:
