Kingbird/Songbird Owners Say
“The Kingbird is my most-used guitar, not only because it feels inspiring to play, but because it’s a tone that is both a stylistic blank slate—free from the creativity-bullying, subliminal expectations that a strat or tele can conjour—and yet perfectly fitting for any musical situation in which I find myself dumb enough to have agreed to. I play better with it. I sound better with it. I make better choices with it (unlike the nunchucks mom took away from me).”
“My Ronin Songbird and Betty guitars come with me everywhere I go, on every session and every live gig.
