I took a risk on this cheap guitar ($105 with shipping when I bought it). I am completely impressed and have recommended this guitar to many others. I grew up with only a Martin D-37 in the house, and also enjoy playing on a Baby Taylor. I have bought and tried to play other cheap guitars before and found them to be so unenjoyable they are basically worthless. I have $200 Fender that is hard to play and dead sounding. This Blueridge has a great neck, nice low action, bright sound, and just feels great to play. It also has a beautiful finish and is very lightweight (a sign of a well made guitar). It is not quite as nice as the Taylor and Martin I have played, but almost! It is definitely nicer than many $500-$1000 guitars I have played before. I would buy this guitar again in a second and may buy more to keep in other locations or take on trips.
The reason I originally decided to get this guitar was I played a mid-level Blueridge years ago and it blew me away how nice it was for only ~$500. This guitar is also a huge bargain for a learning guitar, practice guitar, or second guitar. Paying less than $200 gives you a great beach, campfire, or travel guitar that is nice to play, sounds good, and takes the stress out of damaging an expensive guitar!

Love the sound and the smoothness of playing
I've been playing for 9 years and was worried this won't be on par with the mid-end guitar I've been using. The guitar both looks and feels great. The finish is very well done. It's got a warm and full sound to it that I really enjoyed, that at times I found myself reluctant to stop playing. And I was really pleased with how smooth the fretting was, it felt like it took less effort to move between the frets and press down than on several guitars I've played on previously.The only gripe I have is that the fret position markers (dots) are really dark and hard to spot (see pictures). But that's not a deal breaker by any means, since when playing you would normally look at the markers on the side of the neck, which were pretty clear. Still, aesthetically the dark markers don't look as nice.But overall I was quite impressed, especially for such a great price. You know a guitar is good when it encourages you to play more often again, and makes it hard to stop and put it down.

However; the fret dressing was horrible! Very sharp fret ends. Once I filed them down the though, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
This a great sounding guitar. A little more on the bright side and not so bass heavy so that’s something too.
Only giving 4 stars because of the fret issue but it is a very easy fix.
