Why it matters
Blueridge's BR series copies pre-war dreadnought patterns with solid spruce tops and solid back and sides, and sells them at import prices. Guitar Center lists the mahogany-backed BR-140 Historic Series at $860, and the rosewood BR-160 is listed at $1,149 at Musician's Friend. The two sit next to each other in the range, with the wood choice the main difference.
Note
Mahogany and rosewood pre-war-style dreads.
