Blackbird Guitars

I have designed functional performance products for both elite athletes and musicians. I'm always amazed by how people who are so comfortable in taking risks in what they do, can be very conservative when it comes to the tools that use to take those risks. Which, I suppose, is why sporting equipment and musical instruments can be very slow to change on a core functional level. So when I stumbled on Blackbird Guitars recently, I was pleasantly surprised to see someone breaking through this artificial ceiling in a way that was logical, intentional, and performance driven.

Check out the full scoop on their manufacturing process and technology as well ads lots of videos of people playing them >>> HERE
