Blackbird Savoy
Exploring alternative materials for guitar construction in this day and age is a noble pursuit. But the Blackbird Savoy, which is crafted from flax fiber-based composite, proves that the practice has evolved way beyond a theoretical exercise. It’s resonant, responsive, tuning-stable, and often sonically evocative of classic mahogany small-bodies.
