Blueridge's 000-size guitars use solid spruce tops and hand-carved braces to chase a traditional American voice at a mid-market price.

Why it matters
Blueridge is Saga's house acoustic brand, and its 000 models sell on a straightforward idea: traditional materials and shapes at a fraction of what the originals cost. The BR-43 is the plain version and the BR-343 adds heavy inlay work at a higher price. Both are 000 bodies, so they suit fingerstyle and lighter strumming more than hard flatpicking.
Note
Small-body solid-wood value line.

Before you buy
