Boyd Blackbird Adirondack/Maple Black Lacquered A-Style Mandolin #0011

The Boyd Blackbird A-Style Mandolin blends sleek aesthetics with a bold, articulate tone that players will immediately connect with. Its Adirondack red spruce top provides incredible responsiveness and power, offering clarity that cuts through in any mix. The sugar maple back and sides complement that strength with warmth and snap, creating a voice that’s lively, balanced, and rich in overtones. The black lacquer finish gives the instrument a striking stage presence while allowing the natural beauty of the maple’s grain to subtly glow beneath the surface. Paired with an ebony fingerboard and bridge, the Blackbird feels smooth and refined under the hands, with precise note separation and sustain that rewards expressive playing. The traditional neck profile and flat radius make it instantly comfortable for both rhythm and lead work, while Golden Age tuners and a silver James tailpiece provide reliable tuning stability and a touch of class. This mandolin was crafted for players who want an elegant, high-performing instrument that looks as bold as it sounds. The Boyd Blackbird delivers vintage character, modern craftsmanship, and a distinctive blacked-out style that sets it apart from the pack.
