Beautiful Blueridge BR-160CE9 Historic Series from 2011, made by Saga Musical Instruments.

This is a high-specification all-solid dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar, featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides. The BR-160 series is well known for its Martin-inspired construction, powerful projection and rich, balanced tone.

This particular example has a beautiful, naturally aged appearance and very attractive rosewood figuring on the back. The guitar is in very good overall condition, with some minor signs of use and finish marks consistent with its age.

Herringbone detailing

The guitar has a big, deep and resonant dreadnought voice, with the characteristic warmth and sustain associated with a rosewood-bodied instrument. The cutaway provides comfortable access to the upper frets, while the Fishman system makes the guitar equally suitable for live performance.

A beautiful example of a discontinued Blueridge Historic Series model and a great alternative to considerably more expensive American-made dreadnoughts.
