Bristol by Blueridge 6 String Acoustic Guitar, Right (BM-16)

I ordered on of these and a BD-16 for my son and my nephew after being amazed by the Blueridge BR-163 I recvd last month from Amazon. We were all blown away by these "cheap" guitars. We took both into the local music store and put them up against the Taylor and Martin guitars they had hanging on the wall and we all came to the conclusion that they stack up well against guitars costing 10 times as much. Everything from complex tones to intonation and action all the way up and down the neck. Put some Elixr strings on them and don't look back!!!!

I really got this guitar to leave at work. But it sounds and plays better than the Seagull folk I have at home. I will be leaving the Seagull at work I guess. I am very pleased with the sound , and the feel of the instrument, 000 size seems perfect. When money permits, Im going to buy a Blueridge solid wood version of this style. But I will still keep this all laminate. anybody who says these are crap is nuts!

Really impressive sound for the price you are paying. The hardware is decent too and it holds its tune quite well. I highly recommend it!

I bought this guitar for my ten year old grand-daughter and was highly impressed with the quality of woods and construction of the guitar. Intonation is good and the tuners seem to work well. The neck is straight and easy to play, and it sounds much better than comparably priced guitars. Shipping was prompt and went without a hitch, too. Hope she enjoys playing it!

Perfect for a teen

The sound of the Blue Ridge Mountains.... made in China? Bah. If you want the sound of the Blue Ridge Mountains go spend a few extra bucks and get a Martin guitar.

In my 40+ years of playing I have bought and played a whole lot of cheaper guitars. I have also owned many expensive guitars, including Gibson and my current Martin and Taylor. So, it is with some experience that I tell you; You can try every $200 guitar on earth and none will even come close to the sound and playability of this Bristol guitar. Normally I would NEVER recommend buying a guitar online without being able to play it in person. However, there doesn't appear to be many guitar shops around that carry this brand and I can't say as I blame them. Seeing as how it would definitely put a huge dent in their more expensive guitar sales. Sure, there are a couple of brands with a solid spruce top for about the same price you'll pay for this laminate topped Bristol and if your primary interest is having a solid wood top, then I say go for it. But, if it's sound, power of projection and playability you're looking for, the Bristol is by far the best guitar for your money.

I just bought one of these from someone else, and I am amazed at how good this guitar sounds and plays for this price. As the other review says, it plays and sounds as good as guitars costing much much more. Fit and finish are very nice as well. The sealed geared tuners are nice and smooth, and it tuned right up and stayed tuned. Attractive wood, nice binding, excellent finish. The 000 body size is a bit smaller than a dreadnaught, which makes it easier for smaller people to play, and the neck is comfortable and slim. The frets are finished nicely with no sharp ends. This guitar will please both beginners and experienced players who don't want to spend thousands of dollars. You could perform with this and save up to buy that beautiful Martin someday! What more can I say? Buy one! Pretty darn good for an inexpensive guitar!

Well made and resonant guitar. Well set up and adjusted when received. Very good value.

Awesome little guitar, but better strings are a must.

Una chitarra acustica che ha tutte le caratteristiche che normalmente hanno strumenti più costosi, in stile Blueridge, marchio che ho imparato ad apprezzare nonostante i pregiudizi sul made in china, in quanto realizza strumenti di ottima qualità rispetto al prezzo. La BM 16 ha un volume sorprendente rispetto alle dimensioni della cassa, manico morbido in quanto ben settata, rifiniture impeccabili. La tavola armonica non è in abete massello, come fondo e fasce, quindi il suono resta un po' aspro, ma non si può avere tutto a quel prezzo!
