Blueridge BR-180CE 2006

This is a rare and well set-up masterpiece of solid tonewoods, intricate inlays and Fishman Prefix Plus electronics. Blueridge has combined leading pickup technology from Fishman, a deep cutaway, and the legendary tone powerhouse of the Historic series BR-180. This guitar is crafted to be light and resonant, and offers great flexibility with electronics for use in any live or recording situation. And just like every other Blueridge guitar in the line, meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship goes hand-in-hand with modern refinements.

There is a small dent in the back of the neck behind the 1st fret (see photos). There are a few light scratches and a shallow ding on the lower bout about the size of a fingernail clipping that I was unable to capture in a photo. Includes locking hardshell case with keys. Tolex is coming up on an edge of the case (see photo). This guitar plays beautifully and sounds amazing. These do not come on the market often.
