The First Savoy!

Lovely looking, sounds great, nice size, and super light--even with the added truss rod.
Congratulations Blackbird! |
Hollow neck and truss rod, that's interesting!
|
Impressive. Looks great. Sounds really good. I wonder how the weight is kept so low with the truss rod, even though single action. Is it a conventional steel rod? I like it.

"Headed down to Ted at LA Guitar Sales". Sweet, Ted! Unit #1 to the #1 dealer.

What's the street price on one of these? Likely it's a lot more pricey than a CA Cargo and it is a 12 fret, but how does it compare in terms of size, comfort, playability and tone in the flesh.....errr linen?
|
Sounds really good.

I took a look at Blackbird's site and the weight listed there is 3.75lb, which is still very light for the dimension of the guitar listed.
I'd love to see how they designed in a truss rod into a hollow neck also. Likely a pretty innovative, but simple design to keep the air passage open while at the same time having support points for the truss rod to do it's thing properly. Anyone have an X-ray device?? |
Another innovative winner from Blackbird! Congratulations Joe.
And so, will there be a nylon string version? |

I've sent Joe many emails over the time I've had my Blackbird, he's probably fed up of me! ;) If he is interested in an ekoa nylon, let me know. |
