Blueridge
Description
The BR-73 is the flagship of the 000-sized Contemporary Series of acoustic guitars. Using solid spruce for tops, hand-carved braces, choice rosewood for the back and sides, and a traditional dovetail neck joint on a solid mahogany neck, Blueridge has created a guitar with great looks and tone.

The intricate pearl and abalone inlay work on the fingerboard, body, and headstock and delicate marquetry center strip on the back are touches of fine art. The comfortable 000-sized body and slim mahogany neck make it easy to play. Contemporary Series Blueridge guitars offer pre-war performance with a clean, modern look and style. Case sold separately.

    The rod that attached the snare to the main kit frame comes loose, so I had to tape it down. The kick is a bit small but just big enough to fit a double pedal without hitting the sides. Unfortunately though, the kick pad broke. The metal snapped in half so the pad is detached.

    I gotta say, im impressed with my BR-73. I have always heard good things about their guitars so I decided to take a chance and buy one online. Couldn't have made a better decision, especially at this price point. This guitar is absolutely wonderful. Nothing I've played at GC in the same price bracket beats it. It also came in a very nice gig bag that I wasn't expecting, so plus points for that! I highly recommend it!

    My DH bought this guitar for me as a gift. I had my heart set on a Taylor gs mini because though I love the sound of my dreadnaught, it was too large for me to comfortably play for any duration of time. I am an adult learning to play to accompany my singing. I'm self taught and still very much a beginner. I couldn't have been happier with his choice. The BR73 feels great, sounds lovely, and is comfortable to play for hours. I have been so inspired with my BR73, I even wrote my first song!

    I have small hands and short fingers lol Would this be a good choice for a petite woman ?

    I would say no. This is a 000 (Auditorium size). We have a few different designs that are smaller and would probably be better suited to your size. Please give us a call to help you find something – 855-770-3373
