Our Guitar of the Day is the Blackbird Super OM Steel String Guitar With Electronics. We appreciate powerful, big guitars like dreadnoughts but they are cumbersome. The Blackbird Super Orchestra Model has a cannon voice with jumbo-like volume and fullness but is compact and 3D sculpted with body cuts for enhanced comfort and playability. The tone goes above and beyond convention with uncommon sustain, perfect clarity and string balance the length of the fretboard. The OM’s power and clarity is born from Blackbird’s holistic approach to maximizing resonance: a proprietary hollow neck and head carbon-fiber uni-body construction, asymmetric design with off-set sound hole, as well as a head and body sound port. It’s also among the lightest guitars in the world which further helps produce a tone that evokes a custom wooden instrument, but this acoustic is nearly indestructible and impervious.

- Carbon Fiber strength and environmental stability

- Resonance-driving hollow neck and head with sound port
