Vintage tone and playability from handcrafted woods.
The Blueridge BR-160A dreadnought acoustic guitar provides bold, articulate tone inspired by prewar classics. Since 1990, Blueridge has been crafting all-solid wood instruments that capture vintage acoustic sound at an affordable price. The BR-160A features an Adirondack spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, a prized combination that yields rich resonance and projection. The slim mahogany neck offers a fast, comfortable feel for intricate fingerpicking or aggressive strumming.
Legendary Tonewoods for Voice and Volume
Adirondack spruce, known as the "holy grail" of tonewoods, gives the BR-160A's top superior clarity and dynamic range. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides add warmth, depth and strong projection. Together, these tonewoods produce the bold yet balanced sound that defined dreadnoughts of the 1930s. The scalloped bracing optimizes resonance, allowing each note to ring out with fullness. Whether fingerpicking complex melodies or strumming full chords, the BR-160A delivers the articulate tone and volume that flatpickers and singer-songwriters crave.
Fast, Comfortable Playability
The BR-160A's slim mahogany neck provides a smooth, fast feel ideal for intricate playing styles. Its 1.75" nut width and medium action facilitate barre chords and rapid runs up and down the fingerboard. The rosewood fingerboard, a classic pairing with mahogany, offers hardness and stability. Nickel open-gear tuners keep the guitar tuned accurately through long sessions. Overall, the BR-160A's comfortable design enables you to focus on the creative process rather than struggling with your instrument.
Vintage-Inspired Aesthetics
With distinctive herringbone binding, tortoise pickguard and snowflake fingerboard inlays, the BR-160A evokes the style of prewar dreadnoughts. These vintage-accurate appointments, combined with a hand-rubbed gloss finish, give the guitar a gently aged appearance that complements its rich, woody sound. The BR-160A comes with a deluxe Blueridge gig bag for convenient transport and protection. For authentic tone and timeless looks you can afford, the Blueridge BR-160A Historic Craftsman Series dreadnought is an ideal choice.
