I guess I'm the purveyor of weird guitars recently. This is another CF guitar that I ran across that is already being produced. It has a very unusual design(what else! :D ). It's called the Blackbird Rider

The neck is hollow and has two sound holes one in the upper... bout(?) I guess you could call it, a la Tacoma, and one in the headstock.

It also has a D-tar piezo "Lock N' Load" pick-up which sounds like our very own Rick Turners.

Very odd design, again I wonder what it sounds like! Comes with good reviews.

Ugh. Looks like a canoe paddle. Hope it sounds better than it looks.

Canoe Paddle, that would be a versatile instruments.

It might be good in a barroom brawl too, doubling as a club.

I'm glad folks try something different once in a while.

So, did you buy one?
