Location: South of most, North of few | OK, so I bought another guitar and have to make room, so what... Up for sale is this beautiful looking and sounding solid spruce top and mahogany sides and back Blueridge "Gospel model" BR 343. One small ding in the finish on the headstock around the low E tuner, other than that, mint. On line price now over 725.00, this one for only 600.00 shipped conn US with HS case. These guitars are really a bargain for the $, and have been compared favorably to Martins best by more knowledgeable people than me. I can tell you it sounds almost as good as my 000 17S Martin for a fraction of the price. Tree not included.

I had the opportunity to play a bunch of Blueridge guitars and they are flat out fantastic. This one is a great sounding guitar. You certainly cannnot go wrong with this. I think the Blue ridge guitars sound every bit as nice as Martins or Taylors and as you say at a fraction of the cost. I played their BR-40 which is their bottom line guitar and I was hard pressed to find a nicer sounding guitar in the store (Elderly Instruents), and they had a boat load of Martin and Taylors. The BRs were set up to play very easy and the fit and finish was outstanding. Good luck with the sale, someone will be very happy with this one. |

They won't grow that far north. They need at least two months of summer like weather to flourish. I know you only get two weeks!!! :D |
