This review is from: Blueridge BR-43 Contemporary 000 Guitar (Electronics)

I bought this guitar on "Black Friday", received it within a couple of days, and have enjoyed playing since then. It is a small 000 sized body, with mahogany back and sides (laminate) and bone nut and saddle (nice touch). Very comfortable thin style neck. While no one is going to mistake it for a Martin, it's an excellent player, was set up well right out of the box, and is a terrific guitar for just picking up on the spur of the moment. I replaced the strings with a set of Elixer medium-light (slightly heavier wound strings), which helped bring out the bass a bit more. Someday I'll likely replace it with a Martin, etc., but for now it's a terrific "couch" guitar that gets picked up and played a lot.
