Unlock vintage craftsmanship in a premium dreadnought acoustic.
The Blueridge BR-140A Historic Craftsman Series dreadnought acoustic guitar brings premium tonewoods and craftsmanship into your hands. Built with a solid Adirondack spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this guitar provides robust sound with plenty of warmth and projection. The mahogany neck has a comfortable, vintage-style profile with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, giving you fast action and inherent stability.
Premium Tonewoods Deliver Rich Tone
Adirondack spruce is renowned for its resonant, complex tone and the solid top on the BR-140A helps produce chimey highs, a focused midrange and tight low end. The scalloped X-bracing optimizes the spruce's tonal qualities. Solid mahogany back and sides add warmth, depth and sustain. Together, these premium tonewoods generate a full, balanced sound with piano-like bass, crystalline treble and rich harmonics.
Vintage-Style Neck Provides Familiar Feel
The mahogany neck has a comfortable vintage-inspired profile that feels instantly familiar in your hands. Its moderate depth and rounded shoulders allow chords and single-note lines to ring out with clarity. The rosewood fingerboard, a traditional acoustic tonewood, complements the warm mahogany neck. Its smooth, dense surface helps notes sustain and provides tonal balance across the fingerboard. Dot inlays help guide your way along the neck.
Appointments Honor Historic Design
Several appointments on the BR-140A pay homage to classic dreadnoughts from the 1930s and '40s. The tortoiseshell pickguard has a period-correct shape and aesthetic. Nickel-plated tuners with butterbean knobs are smooth and precise, keeping your guitar in tune through hours of playing. The natural gloss finish enhances the tonewoods' beauty and lets their acoustic qualities shine through. An elegant rosette surrounds the soundhole, completing the vintage-inspired look.
