This review is from: Blueridge BR-180 Historic Premium All-Solid East Indian Rosewood Dreadnaught Guitar with Abalone Purfling (Electronics)
I've been playing the guitar for over 50 years, from rock and roll to church music. And the BR-180 is the finest guitar I have ever owned. The workmanship is beautiful, and the tone has to be heard to be believed. The first time I heard one was a couple of years ago in Kentucky while on vacation. It was a bluegrass group, and as soon as they took a break I ran forward to ask the guitar player what kind of guitar he was playing. It was a BR-180. I've never heard another guitar with the tone of the BR-180, not even Martins or Taylors. As soon as I got home from vacation, I sold three of my other guitars and bought a BR-180. It will be the last guitar I ever buy, as I can't fathom that I'll ever find another one as good, especially considering that it is essentially a D-45 for 1/10th the price. Not to mention, I rarely play my other guitars now. Buy it!

Went into a guitar store with money in my pocket to buy a Martin D-45 or a HD-28V. Played them both but was leaning toward the 45. Heard someone playing this BR-180. Gave it a try and the tone just grabbed me. Took it home and saved $5000. I have not been disappointed. Got over the headstock envy years ago. Sound good as it is and will only get better with age. I play it a couple of hours every day. If you want a fancy guitar with great tone at a decent price check it out. Oh yeah, the workmanship on all the abalone is flawless as is the beautiful head stock. I'm very happy to have found it!

I have played Martin guitars for more than sixty years. One 0018 and the rest D28's. Still have my old D28. Taking my son's advice, I tried a Blueridge 180 and have played it ever since. Will always love a Martin but the 180 is just as good.
