The Blueridge BR-43CE Contemporary Series Cutaway 000 acoustic-electric guitar provides musicians a robust yet balanced tone in an easy-handling size. With a select solid Sitka spruce top and scalloped X-bracing paired with mahogany back and sides, this guitar resonates with crisp articulation and warm resonance. The slim mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard ensure a smooth playing experience whether strumming chords or fingerpicking melodies. The on-board L.R. Baggs pickup system captures your acoustic tone with studio-quality clarity for both live performance and recording situations.

Premium Tonewoods for Dynamic Sound

The solid Sitka spruce top on the BR-43CE responds dynamically to your playing, projecting notes with shimmering highs and tight lows. The mahogany back and sides enrich the tone with warmth and depth, balancing the spruce's brightness. Together, these tonewoods generate the sought-after blend of articulation and fullness that has made the 14-fret 000 shape legendary.

Playability Built for the Contemporary Musician

Whether you play contemporary pop, Americana, jazz or world music, the slim mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a familiar feel. The cutaway body offers unfettered access to upper frets, ideal for melodic passages and solos. A 1.6875" nut width at the neck suits a range of playing styles. Overall, the BR-43CE handles as smoothly as the finest boutique acoustic, inspiring your creativity.
