Blueridge BR-70A Single Owner- Sunburst

I’m the original purchaser of this beautifully appointed guitar with adirondack spruce top, rosewood sides/back fingerboard bridge, and mother of pearl abalone inlay on the top edge, sound holes and frets. I purchased from the Denver Folk Center In 2022. It has been kept in a humidity controlled area within my residence and hasn’t been taken outside the residence except to move to PA. It presents like new and has a new set of D’Addario Phosphor Bronze strings just installed. The bridge lifted slightly after purchase and DFC repaired it under warranty. No issues since. Comes with the gig case pictured. Reviews state this model is comparable to some Martin Guitars in sound quality. I’m selling to downsize my collection and to transition to electric guitar. This model has been discontinued and is out of production. It really is a great sounding guitar. No disappointments here.
