Thanks.
Recently I did some e-surfing. And I found there are no new guitars or ukes available in any Blackbird dealers. I also googled "ekoa" and found a sister company is expanding use of this material into Architectural building materials and automotive interiors markets. So, I was surmising Blackbird might be taking time away from the music market to launch these other uses. I emailed them. And they sent a very nice detailed note back saying they are very much committed to fine lutherie and musical instruments, and that my guitar is in the que.
Interesting. I wish them well in all their endeavors. And I still look forward to getting the new Blackbird Savoy when it is completed in a few months.
