Blueridge Guitars

 

 

Blueridge BR-263A

The BR-263A 000-style guitar offers authentic style reminiscent of fine American guitars built prior to WWII. Every guitar is manufactured using the same techniques as their antique counterparts, but with subtle improvements that bring these guitars firmly into the 21st century. Meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship is evident in the traditional Herringbone trim, forward-position, hand-carved parabolic X-bracing which allows the solid spruce top to ring loud and true. Blueridge™ guitars also feature a traditional dovetail neck joint, slim mahogany neck, adjustable truss rod making this truly a modern collectable.
