Blueridge
Description
The Historic Series offers authentic vintage style, paying close attention to the details of the most sought after pre-war instruments. The BR-163, built in the comfortable 000-sized body makes not only a truly enjoyable guitar to play, but the ultimate finger picking guitar in its price range. Crafted with a select solid spruce top, hand-carved X-bracing, choice solid rosewood back and sides, with herringbone top trim and a traditional dovetail neck joint.

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.

    I am also very happy with the customer service. No complaints whatsoever ;-). Unfortunately I forgot the name of the first gentleman I talked to regarding my order, but he was very cool. And the follow up call from Andy at customer service to see how I liked the guitar.. that's a nice touch. But Sorry I missed your call, bud.

  • Great guitar.

    I own several nice acoustics, Martin D35, Guild D40(1976),Guild DV52. The BR 163 is right there with them in tone and playability.
