Matticus I just bought a Blueridge BR-7S. If what you want is a Dreadnaught with solid rosewood back and sides and a spruce top I would suggest that you look at the 7s before you buy anything else. It's a beautifully made guitar. The tone is equal to any new rosewood dreadnaught I've heard. The craftsman ship is better than or equal to high dollar, boutique guitars made here and in Canada. It has a loud, beautiful voice and you can buy it for under $600 American. If you want to buy it from HMT ask Skivee to order it. If you want more info PM me. There is a recent thread on the guitar with info as well. regards, fortunato
