Aged-tone finish completes the vintage look. The slim mahogany neck and comfortable 000-sized body make it a truly enjoyable guitar to play.The Historic Series offers authentic vintage style with strict adherence to the spirit of prewar instruments from the materials used to the ornate inlay work.
If you’ve been searching for a Golden Era guitar that isn’t priced like it’s made of gold, then Blueridge guitars are for you – you can get one of these from $1,000 to $1,500. Reminiscent of fine American guitars built prior to WWII by Martin and Gibson, Blueridge guitars are made with the same techniques as their antique counterparts, including many by-hand processes.Like the best instruments, Blueridge guitars aren’t overbuilt; they’re crafted to be light and resonant. Meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship is evident in the traditional, forward-position, hand-carved parabolic X-bracing which allows the solid Spruce top to ring loud and true. Blueridge guitars feature a traditional dovetail neck joint, slim mahogany neck, adjustable truss rod, and butterbean-button, Kluson-style tuning machines with an updated mechanism for modern precision and feel.
