I have a BG 160 that has been my stage player for the last two years. It is a cannon and turns heads in jams and on stage. I have owned a Taylor 814, Guild D55, Guild DV52, Guild DV4, Gibson J45, Gibson Hummingbird, Martin D28, D41, D42 Special and an HD 28. I used all of them on stage and in the studio.
   I still have the D55, DV4 and still miss the HD 28. But the BG 160 has caused me to seek out a BR 160 or BR 160A as my next flattop.
   I have considered several custom built flattops but they do not stand out against a Blueridge for the price, playability, finish and voice. I have played several other Blueridge guitars, some had issues needing repair but they all have sounded pretty good.

I do not intend to criticize any of the acoustics I have used but I sure do enjoy and regard the Blueridge guitars highly.
