Blackbird Nylon String with MIDI RMC Pick-up - Front
"...better than I'd expected..." Peter Sorton, September 2010

"The entire guitar resonates enhancing loudness, bass and sustain."

Blackbird say...

"The Blackbird Rider Nylon is a performance-grade travel guitar great for practice and amplified performance. And no matter where you are, you will never again worry about humidity or durability with your carbon fiber Rider. With a full and satisfying tone, this acoustic is at home anywhere, whether playing an etude on the high seas or jazz in a city near you. The Rider’s unique shape and innovations work in harmony to create a seemingly physics-defying voice."

Features:

  • Carbon Fiber strength and environmental stability
  • Body cutway to reach the higher frets
  • 1.36kg among the world’s lightest guitars
  • Resonance-driving hollow neck and head with sound port
  • 650mm Scale Length
  • Optional RMC string saddle MIDI compatible pickups
  • Optional Guitar Support for enhanced comfort

Midi Option

The excellent RMC Acoustic Gold Polyphonic Pickup allows players to expand their sound and playing technique and features:

  • Individual string saddles for minimum crosstalk
  • Individually adjustable height
  • Accomodates any string spacing
  • Factory-matched outputs for even string sound
  • Excellent synth tracking and dynamic response
  • Very low feedback susceptibility
  • Studio quality performance 100dB S/N typical

"The Acoustic Gold for nylon string acoustic guitar is a universal solution to the amplification and recording challenges every serious player must face in times of critical listening. Individual sensor saddles accommodate any string spacing over .400" and factory-matched saddle sets provide the best string-to-string evenness of any bridge pickup. The sound is sweet, clean, powerful and dynamic with minimum string noise, a great playing feel and no electrical hum or buzz, even when playing near neon lights or next to a computer monitor."
