From another thread I see where alot of you guys like the Blueridge guitars. I like the br-180 anyone have any experience with this one??

Nice guitars, but recently where I live, they've gotten a bit pricey. If they are still under 600$, and you like them better than the low end Martins, go for it. Thats just my opinion, the ones I played sounded great. Tuners and pick guards are pretty chintsy though.

If you can get over the cheezy looks, go for it. I would grab an 03 model larrivee for a little more cash and you will (imo) get much better quality for the money.

I think I decided on the BR-160

Mark, did you get the BR160? I've had one for two years and they can't be beat for the price. My only niggle is the over use of pearl on the headstock. Somebody once said it looks like a oyster threw up on it.

just traded for a blueridge br 163..love it .....the butterbean tuners are cool ...the dalmation pickguard is unique ....the neck is very comfortable ..a very high quality instrument that sounds great up and down the board ...
