Blueridge: BR-70

Submitted by SLezan on 12/30/2013

Where Purchased: 30th st. guitar NYC

Year Purchased: 2004
Price Paid: 425 ($US) (bought USED)

Sound

When I first heard the sound I knew I had to buy it. I would compare it to most Gibsons and Martins I've played

Sound Rating: 10

Setup

It sounded good and played well right out of the case. I later changed the plastic bridge pinsfor ebony.

Setup Rating: 10

Appearance

Beautiful finish with inlayed mother of pearl around the sound hole and around the body. Gold tuners with inlays in the head.

Appearance Rating: 10

Reliability

I would compare the finish to any high priced guitar on the market. The finish and hardware has stood up to over nine years of picking and jamming and still looks great.

Reliability Rating: 10

Customer Service

I havn't had to deal with the companyfor any warrenty work so far.

Customer Service: 10

Components

The pick guard could be of a better quality, but overall, it's a great sounding, great playing and great looking guitar. Especially for the price.

Components Rating: 9

Overall Comments

I saw the ad in Bluegrass Magazine that said it "played like a Gibson and sounded like a Martin".  I had to try one, and once I did, I had to agree.  I get a lot of compliments at bluegrass jams and country music get togethers.
