This prewar inspired Herringbone dreadnought has it all. The BR-160's great sound and great looks are just part of what will make it one of the more desirable vintage style acoustic guitars in production today. It starts with a solid Sitka spruce top and handcarved parabolic top braces that respect the prewar forward x-pattern. Indian rosewood back and sides add a strong bass to the spruce top's already full sound. The slim mahogany neck is comfortable and features a dovetail neck joint and adjustable truss rod. Beautiful appointments include a Dalmatian tortoise style pickguard and mother-of-pearl neck and headstock inlays. From the Manufacturer Blueridge BR-160 Historic Series Dreadnought Acoustic

Great guitars! We have two!
Update April 2017: I still have one of these (the louder one-mine), and we sold the other as my wife prefers to play smaller bodied guitars now. (two of the same guitars is silly, if someone isn't playing them, at least!) I still love it and it still sounds great! I attached some pix that I took of it recently. I decided to switch out the pickguard for a black one, not too hard to do, and I prefer it. I also, have shaped a compensated bone saddle for mine, and it has ebony end-pin and bridge pins. The neck profile on these is unique and smaller than many, have to try to see if it's for you. Nothing to complain about with the guitar, I love it! We have two BR-160's and both are fantastic guitars. I originally intended just to purchase one, and decided to have a replacement sent, because of a small issue with the fingerboard. The first guitar sounded awesome, very open, deep bass, crisp and loud! It has a wide grain spruce top with some heavy silking in the center. The fretboard and bridge were also very dark, almost like ebony. The second one sent was even nicer looking! The top is VERY tightly grained with heavy silking over the whole top (FWIW, the fingerboard is a more traditional shade). While the second sounded very nice as well, I preferred the first by a slight margin. I have a luthier across the street, so walked over and showed him the first guitar, and the issue I was concerned about. He told me not to worry about it, and agreed that it would be ok to keep the one I liked best. Decision made. Before shipping back the second, I showed it to my wife one more time, because it has such an amazing silked top, and she said she wanted to keep it for herself! Anyway, we now have two! Both sound great, the one with the wide grain is a bit louder, crisper, deeper bass, and a great tone. The tight grained top 160 also sounds very nice, with good volume, nice articulation and rich overtones. They are both strung with D'addario EJ-16's, the wide top now has ebony pins (Martin) and the tight topped one has bone pins. Its interesting to have two of the same model to compare! Both guitars have a very nice finish and sound great, very consistent. I also was able to spend some time with a BR-180 and was prepared to buy it if it sounded better, but with that particular guitar, at least, I preferred the tone from the 160. OTHER GUITARS FOR COMPARISON:I sold my Martin DX1AE, that I bought in February; I greatly prefer the Blueridge! We also have a Yamaha FG700 (wife's prior guitar), which is great for what we paid, but the tone, volume and beauty are not nearly as nice as either of 160's! I've spent time at guitar center with the D35s and D28s. Though I'll surely still own one of them one day, (craftsmanship is just so nice) , the Blueridge guitars hold up pretty well tone wise, and are put together well. I also briefly considered the Epiphone Masterbilt 500MCE, but it didn't do it for me. The Blueridge BR-160s are great guitars! I recommend them!

Excellent guitar
I am impressed with this guitar. I did a lot of research and it met my requirements, but it was far better than I expected. The online photos does not do it justice. It is a beautiful guitar and I am so happy I bought this one.

Wonderful guitar, especially for the money
Before getting to the 160, just wanted to talk about the gig bag. It is one of the best I've ever been around. I'm an old fart and just do not feel right spending four bills on a guitar protected by a bag so I bought I mid grade hard case. This gig bag is a work of art. Anyway, to the guitar. The spruce top has a tinted finish to it that is fantastic. Doesn't have that bleached white top look. This guitar is setup nicely from the factory. The strings were slightly oxidized, but that is to be expected. Still plays and sounds like a million bucks. Am very happy with the bass and treble response. It is a wonderfully balanced and classic acoustic sound that will probably match the one you've been carrying around in your head. I would strongly suggest trying to buy one of these from a local shop. Why support big tech when your buddy down the street with a shop could use your business? Also, if you can afford it, buy a brand not made in China. Ethnic and religious persicution and slave labor is not acceptable.

Great Guitar! Loud and great tone!
It’s a fine musical instrument and an awesome value for the sound and quality that you get. I would recommend this guitar to anyone wanting an acoustic guitar.

Great guitar!
Ordered a guitar w/ gig bag, and that's what came. No paperwork at all (e.g. what strings were installed, care and feeding... ). The action was very pleasant, a bit buzzy; relieving truss-rod tension a little solved that. The sounding board is light and active; it gives nice resonance and transmits harmonics to the other strings (something I like in the sound of higher end guitars). Nice and bright. It is not a D-28.

Awesome
I've had this for about 3 weeks now and for the money you will not find a better sounding and acoustic guitar. The tone is amazing and the neck feels like an electric. I had been searching for an acoustic guitar for over a year and live very close to Sam Ash and Guitar Center but did not want to spend $2k. The only guitars that come close to this BR-160 are Taylors,Breedlove and Martin guitars costing 4 times. Don't be afraid to buy this guitar. All of the reviews you read on this guitar are very accurate. It is truly amazing for the money.

Get it for the sound
There's a lot of support out there on the forums for this guitar--and most of it is true: -awesome bass from the rosewood back and sides -forward x bracing lets the top sing--this dreadnought is a real cannon! harmonics seem to vibrate much longer, hammer-ons and pull-offs are easier. really in love with the sound... -poor man's Martin--i got mine for $600 Stock setup was fine, no buzzing and low/medium action. The no-name open-back tuners look vintage and do their job--nothing special here. However, there are some things that I didn't care for: -neck feels too thin! it's a D-shape that's shallower than my Mexican Strat and Big Baby Taylor, but combined with the nut width and string spacing, everything feels a bit cramped. if possible, sample this guitar in a store first before buying. -the aesthetics: 'vintage' finish is too orange and looks like a fake tan. headstock inlay is way over the top. dalmatian pickguard seems tacky compared to the standard black/tortoise. Try the Silver Creek D-170 instead if these issues might be important to you. Because it doesn't have the fancy headstock and fretboard work, it's much cheaper ($250 now) and has the same deep rosewood sound. I have the T-170 (000 body version), and the neck is much more playable because it isn't as cramped. I suspect the D-170 will have the same neck and be just as playable. If you don't mind these issues/features of the BR-160, then this is a stupendously good sounding guitar for the money.

Close to a Martin
You will find it hard to find a bad review on any website about this guitar. The rosewood body of the Blueridge brings the sound so very close to a Martin. It comes down to biting the bullet and spending $1800 on a Martin or buying this great guitar. The bass is remarkable for those G-runs. Blueridge is a part of the Saga company which is making some awesome instruments overseas that are actually quality made. Saga also makes Cremona violins that I noticed are getting great reviews for their quality and price. They must be doing something right over there in their Chinese plant. I paid $535 on Amazon for my BR-160 two months ago so take notice their prices fluctuate very often. I couldn't tell were it actually came from as far as who supplies Amazon but it came in perfect condition and that is all that matters. Go to YouTube to see Paul Macartney of the Beatles playing a BR-160. Type in "free meat monday",that's the name of the song.
