Blackbird Rider
The Rider is Blackbird Guitars' original carbon-fiber travel guitar, introduced in 2007 and later joined by a nylon-string version. Its body, neck and head are cast as a single hollow one-piece unibody shell, making it about 30 percent smaller than a traditional acoustic while retaining a full-bodied sound.

Blackbird Savoy
The Savoy is a parlor-size guitar from Blackbird Guitars, built from the company's plant-based Ekoa composite. It is a small, compact 0-size instrument with a 12-fret body joint.
