Blueridge BG-180RW Acoustic Guitar Slope Shoulder Historic Series

Description

Designed in collaboration with the multi-talented bluegrass and country legend Randy Waller, the new BG-180RW is truly a stunning guitar, both visually and tonally. Our goal was to combine the already great features of the popular Blueridge soft-shoulder guitar series, with a look that has never been done before in a guitar of this design. That includes genuine abalone used to trim all boarders and a unique fingerboard and peghead inlay to complete the picture. Once again another Saga first!

One look at any Blueridge guitar will tell you that the craftsmandship, style and quality of the Golden Era are still alive and plainly evident in every guitar with the Blueridge name. The intricate MOP inlays, the careful workmanship and tremendous tonal quality of each Blueridge ensure that these fine guitars will be highly collectible. They're most definitely the benchmark of value and affordability today. Like the finest guitars of the Golden Era, each Blueridge has the traditional dovetail neck/body joint and each model's neck features an adjustable truss rod. The Kluson-style enclosed tuning machines with "butterbean" buttons, in either gold or nickel, have the perfect vintage look yet offer modern precision and feel.
