Sound Pure's Take
This is a great value for such a well made guitar. It's a pleasure to play and it sounds TREMENDOUS. The tortoise guard is striking and the top grain is just what I want to see, wide on the sides and tight in the center! Don't pay full price when you can get one, good as new, with a pickup for less $.

If you can't afford a $10,000 vintage collectible, you certainly CAN afford a Blueridge™ BR-143A with most of the same features and a more playable neck! The very same Adirondack Spruce top-wood that gave the pre-war guitars their fabulous tone is used on this Blueridge™ 000 body--along with solid mahogany back & sides and pre-war top bracing. You won't believe the VALUE!
