I have a Blueridge BR-65 that I have had about 25 years...maybe that makes me the winner for longevity. I've played it onstage, written numerous songs on it, and travelled internationally with it, in addition to just playing the hell out of it. It's fantastic! It has had one problem in all this time...there is now a crack in the wood vertically on the face under the bridge, but I'm the worst at humidifying guitars, mostly because I grew up where there was too much humidity, and it's hard to accept the notion that water needs to be added to air. But nothing negative to say about this great sounding old workhorse.
