We were so excited to hand deliver JeffTweedy of Wilco his very own Rider Nylon at Austin city limits live in Texas. We're honored to have one of our favorite songwriters as a Blackbird player. (à Austin, Texas)

This Rider nylon is headed with Joe to Austin this morning and then to a musician well loved by the Blackbird team (all will be revealed). This guitar was assembled yesterday- complete with slot head, RMC electronics and plenty of TLC. Great job team!

Here is another sweet tune from Portland, OR base Skidmore Bluffs! #musicians #guitar #lucky13 #portland #15secondmusic (à Presidio Park)

Were excited by the forthcoming Boss GP-10 guitar synth unit (owned by synth guru Roland). It should be an excellent companion to our RMC hexaphonic equipped guitars- and for a third of what I paid for the Roland VG-99!
