I chose it on the basis of the three previous Amazon reviews and some online research that convinced me that Blueridge is a good guitar maker. The reviews seemed almost too good to be true.Well, the guitar arrived quickly (I'm signed up for unlimited free 2 day shipping) and I was very anxious to unbox it. However, I waited for nephew Mike to show up for the unboxing ritual. No pun intended, but I as impressed right out of the box. The guitar is very attractive and appears well constructed.I own and play an old, expensive, beat up but great sounding Guild jumbo and a new, $600 list Taylor dreadnought (which I believe is a great guitar for its price) and I love both. I can't really give a meaningful comparison between the Bristol and the other guitars, but I can say that as someone used to playing nice guitars I found myself really loving the Bristol. Its surprisingly loud and rich sounding, with very good action right out of the box.Anyone who is looking for a nice guitar in its price range will definitely NOT be disappointed with the Blueridge by Bristol. I think you'd be happy with it at twice the price. In fact, even though I have 2 good acoustics, a nice old Strat electric and am planning to buy another electric this month, I'm trying to convince myself that I need one. At this price, I might be able to! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cheap guitar - buy it! *by B***Y on September 16, 2011* I took a risk on this cheap guitar ($105 with shipping when I bought it). I am completely impressed and have recommended this guitar to many others. I grew up with only a Martin D-37 in the house, and also enjoy playing on a Baby Taylor. I have bought and tried to play other cheap guitars before and found them to be so unenjoyable they are basically worthless. I have $200 Fender that is hard to play and dead sounding. This Blueridge has a great neck, nice low action, bright sound, and just feels great to play. It also has a beautiful finish and is very lightweight (a sign of a well made guitar). It is not quite as nice as the Taylor and Martin I have played, but almost! It is definitely nicer than many $500-$1000 guitars I have played before. I would buy this guitar again in a second and may buy more to keep in other locations or take on trips.The reason I originally decided to get this guitar was I played a mid-level Blueridge years ago and it blew me away how nice it was for only ~$500. This guitar is also a huge bargain for a learning guitar, practice guitar, or second guitar. Paying less than $200 gives you a great beach, campfire, or travel guitar that is nice to play, sounds good, and takes the stress out of damaging an expensive guitar! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ He loves it and his instructor told him it was a great guitar. *by S***P on August 11, 2014* Bought this guitar for my son. He loves it and his instructor told him it was a great guitar. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bristol BD-16 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black - Guitar Capo, 6-String Acoustic & Electric Guitar Capo,Capo for acoustic guitar(Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1135190-by-blueridge-bl-140-160-series](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1135190-by-blueridge-bl-140-160-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
