Most likely made by a stencil company,who make thousands of no-name knock offs,and will put your companies name on it.

"Blueridge" is a trade name owned by Saga Musical Instruments. That's the correct logo, but they never made an electric guitar under that name, nor would they have. How would I know? Well, I was the product manager there for several years. Still stay in touch with some of my old coworkers.

I suspect, this being the way things work, that some company took their Les Paul copy, slapped the Blueridge logo on it, took it to NAMM, and tried to sell them to Saga. Who obviously did not bite.

The good news is that it's a one of a kind! Looks Korean/Chinese, not too shabby. Enjoy it.
