Overview

This dreadnought offers Adirondack spruce and select mahogany construction with lovely details.

Blueridge Contemporary Craftsman Series Acoustic Guitars have long been top sellers. Not only do they represent more bang for the buck, but they also combine legendary, proven vintage specifications with modern design improvements to get that legendary prewar tone and play like a dream.

The BR-40A Dreadnought Guitar has a select, solid Adirondack spruce top - the exact same tonewoods used in highly-prized collectibles often referred to as prewar instruments and manufactured before WWII. This guitar is so affordable and made so well that now anyone can afford to own a guitar with a six-figure tone.

In keeping with traditional design specifications, the top is braced in the legendary forward-x pattern. Perfectly positioned to remain light and strong enough to bring out the full bass and clear treble - defining characteristics of the highly prized top material and features that makes for a superior guitar.

With back, sides and neck of choice mahogany finished all over in a clear, natural shade, the BR-40A has the look of a costly boutique guitar. The slim, fast neck features a fully adjustable truss rod that guarantees top performance at all times. You owe it to yourself to check out the new Blueridge BR-40A.
