MGR/Dick Joiner « Blueridge BR-70 »
Published on 07/11/03 at 15:00I recently bought a Blueridge BR-70 off the internet ($405 w/case). I bought it "Pig in a poke" based on having played a BR-160.
I didn't know what the BR-70 would sound like. I bought it based on the description, picture, and the fact that I had played the BR-160. It has the good looks of a D-41 Martin and the neck of a J-45 Gibson. It plays easy and has an excellent strong voice.
So far, there's not a thing I would change.
Furniture, fit, and finish on this one is as good as it gets. I'll put next to any other guitar on the market regardless of price.
This is a guitar that plays and sounds as good as it looks. Time is the final test of any good guitar. Playability is something that can be controlled to a certain extent, but, age dictates the tonal characteristics and drive. The good ones usually get better with age. If this one lives up to that theory, it will be the best guitar I've ever owned.
