Description

The Blueridge BR-163 is crafted with a select solid spruce top, hand-carved X-bracing, choice solid Tonewood back and sides, and a traditional dovetail neck joint for pure Golden Era tone. The BR-163 also features intricate pearl and abalone inlay work on the headstock and fingerboard; delicate herringbone top purfling and center strip on the back; and white binding are touches of fine art.

If you've been searching for a Golden Era guitar that isn't priced like it's made of gold, then Blueridge guitars are for you. Reminiscent of fine American guitars built prior to WWII, Blueridge guitars are made with the same techniques as their antique counterparts, including many by-hand processes.

Like the best instruments, Blueridge guitars aren't overbuilt; they're crafted to be light and resonant. Meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship is evident in the traditional, forward-position, hand-carved parabolic X-bracing which allows the solid Spruce top to ring loud and true. Blueridge guitars feature a traditional dovetail neck joint, slim mahogany neck, adjustable truss rod, and butterbean-button, Kluson-style tuning machines with an updated mechanism for modern precision and feel.
