Description
Blackbird’s Rider is a showy guitar, but unlike these crazy designs, it’s still more about sound than show. Six nylon strings stretch across a carbon fiber body to create a dark, dramatic instrument true to its maker’s name. Blackbird could also make a play to convince the world the Rider is Johnny Cash reincarnated as a guitar. Or what Batman uses to play angsty love songs when he’s depressed.
Rider’s body is constructed from a single piece of carbon fiber. Combined with its hollow head, neck, and body, Rider says the entire guitar will resonate during play to create a soul-filling loudness, bass, and sustain. The high-tech materials also promise to stand up to humidity and common durability tests–bumps, jolts, the occasional tumble–unscathed. Rider guitars have optional features of a neck-up accessory for anchorage without a footstool, and an MiSi or RMC individual string pickup to amplify the dynamic acoustic tone.
