Classic styling and vintage tone at an old-fashioned price.
The Blueridge BR-60T Tenor acoustic guitar from the Contemporary series features a Sitka spruce top, with rosewood back, sides, and peghead overlay. Prewar forward X-pattern bracing delivers tone and volume just like vintage dreadnought guitars. Low-profile, carved mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard. Beautiful touches like 5-ply body binding, multi-line rosette and backstrip, and mother-of-pearl dot inlays add to the Blueridge guitar's classic look. Stable, nickel-plated Kluson-style tuners ensure proper pitch.
If you've been searching for a Golden Era guitar that isn't priced like it's made of gold, then Blueridge guitars are for you. Reminiscent of fine American guitars built prior to WWI, Blueridge BR-60T guitar is made with the same techniques as their antique counterparts, including many by-hand processes.
Blueridge guitars are crafted to be light and resonant. Meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship is evident in the traditional, forward-position, hand-carved parabolic X-bracing which allows the solid Spruce top to ring loud and true. The Blueridge BR-60T guitar feature a traditional dovetail neck joint, slim mahogany neck, adjustable truss rod, and butterbean-button, Kluson-style tuning machines with an updated mechanism for modern precision and feel. Includes limited lifetime warranty.

Comments about Blueridge BR-60T Contemporary Series Tenor Guitar:
There are very few Tenors on the market today. I was pleasantly surprised at the craftsmanship and good looks of this instrument. It plays well and has a nice warm tone. 50+ years ago I learned on a Tenor, and will start my grandson on this one as soon as he's ready. The light action, narrow neck & finger board make it very small-finger friendly. It's a real bargain.

Comments about Blueridge BR-60T Contemporary Series Tenor Guitar:
Not many manufacturers make a tenor these days. I was pleasantly surprised ... This one is quite nice. Well built and appointed ... sounds good and plays like an expensive instrument. Nice narrow neck and fingerboard make it good for young players' fingers. ...
I started on a tenor over 50 years ago and will give this one to my grandson when he's ready.

Comments about Blueridge BR-60T Contemporary Series Tenor Guitar:
The set up leaves you unable to play in tune starting with the second and third fret. I took it to a luthier and had a pro set up done. It's very cool now, but out of the box, it wouldn't play in tune enough for any purpose. These are a bit hard to find, and I am now pleased with this one, but factor in to your price that you will need a set up to play it at all.

Comments about Blueridge BR-60T Contemporary Series Tenor Guitar:
I had a tenor 40years ago. Really liked it but it got busted up in a move. This one is much nicer than that one, but brings back many memories. It looks great, plays great, and even remembers tunes I used to play.

Comments about Blueridge BR-60T Contemporary Series Tenor Guitar:
On the model shown, the tenth fret position marker is on the ninth fret. This is typical of builders that usually make six string guitars and think a tenor is just a scaled down six string. Since a tenor guitar is tuned in fifths, it has it's position marker where all instruments tuned in fifths do: On the fifth, seventh, TENTH and twelfth frets. Mandolins, tenor banjos, etc. It's a small matter, but confusing to someone used to playing in fifths.

Comments about Blueridge BR-60T Contemporary Series Tenor Guitar:
I can't say this is the best quality instrument I've played, but I have nothing negative to say about it. Also, it is my first tenor guitar so I am comparing the quality to other instruments I've owned or played which are not tenors. I've read a few good reviews of the guitar and, for the most part, agree wholeheartedly.
As far as quality, I was very impressed. It is comfortable to play, a beautiful instrument, and does not seem cheap at all. Considering it is a factory instrument made in China, I think it is very good. If I were to give one criticism it is that the frets are not as filed and smooth as they would be on a finer instrument. However, like I mentioned before, the instrument is extremely comfortable, just not extraordinarily so.
The sound is good, although, given it has a spruce top, it is too soon to judge what it will mature to. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to describe it as glorious or exquisite. It is nice, but not to die for. I expected a bit more volume from the review's I've read as well. Playing acoustic with pandeiro (contemporanea w/leather head), cavaco (rozini RC02), and Nylon Guitar(Cordoba unknown model) It seems a little under-powered as a solo instrument, but not far off. (Will have to find a solution to amplify for balance) Sound is very clear and balanced for the instrument from my assessment. Overall the sound is reasonably good.
One other observation: Santos Rosewood is actually Pau Ferro (or from what I understand also called Morado). I like this wood and have other instruments made out of it. However, it is not a true Dalbergia and a more affordable option than Brazilian Rosewood and probably Indian. (not an expert, but have read a little bit around). This might not matter too much in either case given the back and sides are laminated.
The guitar delivered most of what I expected. I am extremely satisfied. I was looking for a first tenor guitar that I could grow into and play shows on eventually. (Usually do one payed gig a month) If I sound overly critical it is only to point out the limitations of the instrument to be helpful. I would purchase the instrument again and recommend it to anyone.
Comments about Blueridge BR-60T Contemporary Series Tenor Guitar:
This is a beautiful tenor guitar (Blueridge BR-60T). Great resonant sound. Great neck: the rosewood seems to be very high grade (almost ebony-like) and the grain of the mahogany is simply stunning. The fit and finish and general woodwork is first class. Set up was good right out of the box. All this for a relatively low price. If you are looking for a fine tenor, you will not go wrong here. This is a real keeper. Well done!
A tenor guitar is a simple instrument. But this one is simply gorgeous.
Very nicely done. Beautiful wood and finish.
Amazing value. It looks and plays like what you would expect for much, much more cost.
