Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was looking at the low end Taylor guitars and noticed a review somewhere recommending this guitar instead. This guitar sounds very nice plugged in. I am not as impressed by its unamplified sound, but I was playing a dreadnought before which had a much deeper sound to it. I was told by a music store, however, that because it is solid bodied hardwood guitar that its sound should improve with age. In fact, I went to the store specifically trying to decide whether to keep the Blueridge or go for a Taylor, and the sales rep ended up convincing me to keep this one!
Two issues, however, which I should have looked into more before hand. If you're at all environmentally conscious, the hardwoods used on this guitar (mahogany or some equivalent according to the sales guy, and the rosewood) are both being over-harvested world wide. The rosewood is said to come from East India, which is probably better than Madagascar, where they are being over harvested for the China musical instrument construction (this guitar is made in China BTW). As for the "mahogany", who knows how or where that was harvested or if the tree stand was sustainably managed.
