Blueridge BR-160 Historic Dreadnaught Guitar Reviews
| 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Close to a Martin, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Blueridge BR-160 Historic Dreadnaught Guitar (Electronics) You will find it hard to find a bad review on any website about this guitar. The rosewood body of the Blueridge brings the sound so very close to a Martin. It comes down to biting the bullet and spending $1800 on a Martin or buying this great guitar. The bass is remarkable for those G-runs. Blueridge is a part of the Saga company which is making some awesome instruments overseas that are actually quality made. Saga also makes Cremona violins that I noticed are getting great reviews for their quality and price. They must be doing something right over there in their Chinese plant. I paid $535 on Amazon for my BR-160 two months ago so take notice their prices fluctuate very often. I couldn't tell were it actually came from as far as who supplies Amazon but it came in perfect condition and that is all that matters. Go to YouTube to see Paul Macartney of the Beatles playing a BR-160. Type in "free meat monday",that's the name of the song. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Get it for the sound, This review is from: Blueridge BR-160 Historic Dreadnaught Guitar (Electronics) There's a lot of support out there on the forums for this guitar--and most of it is true:-awesome bass from the rosewood back and sides -forward x bracing lets the top sing--this dreadnought is a real cannon! harmonics seem to vibrate much longer, hammer-ons and pull-offs are easier. really in love with the sound... -poor man's Martin--i got mine for $600 Stock setup was fine, no buzzing and low/medium action. The no-name open-back tuners look vintage and do their job--nothing special here. However, there are some things that I didn't care for: -neck feels too thin! it's a D-shape that's shallower than my Mexican Strat and Big Baby Taylor, but combined with the nut width and string spacing, everything feels a bit cramped. if possible, sample this guitar in a store first before buying. -the aesthetics: 'vintage' finish is too orange and looks like a fake tan. headstock inlay is way over the top. dalmatian pickguard seems tacky compared to...

It arrived in a super thin corrugate box. It came with no case and the neck was completely snapped in half.Shipped it back to Amazon the same day and Amazon promptly refunded my money. I did not order a second one because of the way it was packed and shipped. |
