Thread Name: BLUERIDGE: good guitar,good price!
Subject: RE: BLUERIDGE: good guitar,good price!
I've tried them and they are good guitars at a good price, no doubt. Other guitars to try from the same region include 'Faith', which are Indonesian. I have owned and played all the 'big name' USA guitars and had good and 'not so good' ones. No two pieces of wood are identical and player requirements and styles vary, too.
   There is another consideration; the quality of the player! A very long time ago after a gig with a newly purchased 'Marlin Sidewinder' Strat copy [a snip at £120 with hard case!] one Alan Prosser approached me and asked for 'a go' on my new guitar. Played through a pretty weedy transistor amp it sounded like Richard Thompson at Cropredy - or rather Pross did... happy days...
