couple of years ago.. i took another risk on ebay,


winning a new 'Blueridge'wood bodied resonator for about 100 quid..


it sems a reasonably well made instrument.. sounds ok enough to me..

but is a bit of a mystery

as i can find absolutely no links anywhere in google

to confirm that Blueridge ever sold any resos under its own 'brand name'..

however, it does look identical to some regal models i've seen photos of on the net..

which makes me wonder if i was lucky enough to get a regal 'minor blemished 2nds'

imported into uk with a dodgy headstock decal...??????
