Id love to try a blackbird. They are onto something pretty cool with their use of linen. To be honest, there are lots of materials that have equivalent or even more favourable properties than carbon fibre; but then carbon fibre has a lot more established processes behind it and has an association with high end products. I dont think having a fiberglass guitar would just appeal the same! :P Although, my supplier is going to send me some new materials to mess about with. Ill share the results here if i have any success.
I've actually seen a Klos guitar in person (played by someone else). It had a lovely tone, and their pricing seems to be very attractive all things considered!
