4One beautiful guitar...  Jul 01, 2010 By Pichan
...and it is the acoustic/electric cutaway "cousin" of the Blueridge BR-40 Contemporary Dreadnaught Guitar.

I have seen/played this model prior to purchasing it; the quality & craftsmanship on this guitar are high-quality...and it rings like a bell, with or without amplification. Things like:
- a tight-grained solid spruce top
- a rosewood bridge
- a bone nut and saddle
- an East Indian rosewood fingerboard
- a carved mahogany neck with a dovetail neck joint
- mahogany back and sides
- vintage-style quality open-back tuners
are just some of the impressive details.

One downside: In the recent past, this model has been sold with the Saga Golden Gate hardshell case included (most online retailers sold it that way). Apparently this has changed, since the one I just received came without...which was a disappointment for 2 reasons:

- it's good protection for when the guitar is shipped (shipping w/o a case is rolling the dice in my experience)
- it provides ongoing protection (especially for humidity control) once in your home or when traveling.

There had previously been an image depicting the case along with the guitar, which has since been removed; Amazon still indicates a shipping weight of 25 pounds, which is what the guitar & case weigh together...but this must have been an oversight.

If a case had been included...as it has typically been in the past...I would have given it a 5-star rating, which I almost never do in my reviews.

I'd recommend using an included case or gig bag as a pre-requisite for any online guitar purchase, since UPS & Fed-X don't generally have the word "fragile" in their dictionaries.

I hope to post pictures in the near future.

Happy playing!

5This is the best acoustic I've ever owned.  Jan 31, 2011 By Patrick Horgan
I bought locally, and love my guitar. The action is as easy as an electric and the tone is balanced and beautiful. The Fishman PREFIX Plus-T preamp with built in tuner does a great job of reproducing the tone, but seriously, you don't need to plug it in for gigs in small rooms. It's plenty loud.
