Overview

A workhorse of traditional construction, compact size, solid tonewoods and Fishman electronics.

The Blueridge Historic Series BR-143CE 000 Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar has the same great features as the BR-140 and BR-143 models like select solid Sitka spruce for the top and choice mahogany for the back and sides. All that plus the perfect cutaway to reach the higher frets and a state-of-the-art Fishman Presys Blend pickup system with onboard EQ.

Blueridge is an offshoot of the South San Francisco-based Saga Musical Instrument Company. Blueridge specializes in "traditional" guitars that offer today's player vintage styling with modern performance at a level of quality and price that compares favorably to historic guitars. Each instrument is the result of detailed research and is carefully crafted at the Blueridge factory. Consistency is evident throughout, from the fretwork to the intricate inlays that adorn each Blueridge headstock.
