  • Comments: Blackbird guitars are handmade in San Francisco. These state of the art instruments have much to offer players in the respect of durability, playability, and innovative design. First let me say that this is a serious instrument in every respect It is full and balanced with a nice warm edge and plays like a dream. I love the feel of the neck, round and a bit "meatier" than many of the typical low profile necks around these days. The most interesting part to me is that, while this guitar sounds like a good high end instrument, there are many aspects of the sound that are unique and different than a wood guitar. The attack is a bit more immediate, and the decay of notes is perhaps a bit shorter, reminding me of my pre-war Gibson. This is very useful for fingerstyle players, and I particularly love the way it sounds with slide. There are 3 [top, bottom bout, and neck] soundports in this guitar, so the listening experience for the player is quite pleasant, to say the least. Durability and comfort are also big advantages. The carbon fiber design is NOT susceptible to temperature or humidity. For those of us who gig in Midwestern winters, this is a dream come true, and this guitar weighs in at 3-1/2 pounds so it is also easy to carry. Blackbird has gracefully packaged futuristic design, superb playability, and a unique quality sound into a guitar that any serious player would love to own.
