Exquisite details and all solid woods make this pre-war inspired guitar an instant classic.

This pre-war inspired "Herringbone" dreadnought has it all. The BR-160's great sound and great looks are just part of what will make it one of the more desirable vintage-style acoustic guitars in production today. It starts with a solid Sitka spruce top and hand-carved parabolic top braces that respect the prewar forward X-pattern. Indian rosewood back and sides add a strong bass to the spruce top's already full sound. The slim mahogany neck is comfortable and features a dovetail neck joint and adjustable truss rod. Beautiful oppointments include a Dalmation style pickguard and mother-of-pearl neck and headstock inlays.

Blueridge is an offshoot of the South San Francisco-based Saga Musical Instrument Company. Blueridge specializes in "traditional" guitars that offer today's player vintage styling with modern performance at a level of quality and price that compares favorably to historic guitars. Each instrument is the result of detailed research and is carefully crafted at the Blueridge factory. Consistency is evident throughout, from the fretwork to the intricate inlays that adorn each Blueridge headstock.

Features

  • Select, solid Sitka spruce top with hand-carved parabolic top braces in authentic prewar forward X-pattern
  • Solid Indian rosewood back and sides with center strip of delicate wood marquetry
  • White body binding with delicate herringbone inlay around top
  • Slim mahogany neck with dovetail neck joint and adjustable truss rod
  • Rosewood bridge and bridge plate
  • Rosewood peghead overlay adorned with a unique mother-of-pearl and abalone design
  • Saga's exclusive Dalmatian style pickguard
  • Natural high-gloss finish with aged toner
  • Accurate vintage-style 14:1 ratio nickel-plated open-back tuners with butterbean-style buttons

They still make 'em like they used to. Order today.

Comments about Blueridge Historic Series BR-160 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:

I bought one of these used when they first hit the market because a friend had told me to watch for them. This guitar has everything you would expect from a much more expensive guitar. Very deep rich sound which carries well but also very defined and delicate when the need arises. Being from China I would imagine there are some consistency problems but I love mine.

    Comments about Blueridge Historic Series BR-160 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:

    Don't know, maybe becasue it's new and needs time to 'break in' but a buddy has an older one of these that sounds fantastic....this once I got replaced after a BR 163 developed a crack (warranty)...BOTH of them sound the same in terms of what is LACKING and that seems to be a FULL body richness (the the BR 163 I have is over a year old now), there is a shine to the sound, yes but, and a certain richness, BUT it's lacking in something, seems underdeveloped...loud, yes, but there is something missing from the sound that an older cheap Japanese acoustic I have has that this BR and the other BR I have don't have...time will tell, perhaps, but just how long???? These are definitely functional guitars, for the money probably decent...2.5 stars
