Vintage 1930s dreadnought tone and style with modern playability.
The Blueridge BR-160 dreadnought acoustic guitar provides vintage tone and premium appointments that inspire you to play. Its solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides give you balanced articulation, warmth and power. The slim mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel familiar and fast under your fingers.
Vintage-Inspired Tonewoods for Historic Sound
The BR-160's solid Sitka spruce top vibrates freely for crisp highs and strong projection, while its solid rosewood back and sides add depth and warmth. Together, these tonewoods produce the balanced and complex voice that defined the prewar era. The forward-shifted scalloped bracing gives you clear articulation and a hint of honky-midrange. Overall, the woods and bracing provide a historic dreadnought tone that inspires you to play for hours.
Premium Appointments for Eye-Catching Aesthetics
One look at the BR-160 and you'll appreciate its vintage vibe. The distinctive tortoiseshell pickguard, mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays and rosette give it a classy prewar style. Open-gear tuners keep your strings in tune and complete the retro look. A natural glossy finish enhances the beauty of the tonewoods. The appointments not only catch your eye but also reflect the level of care and craftsmanship that went into this guitar.
