Overview
Playing any style of acoustic music is what the Blueridge BR-140 is built for, pairing a Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides on a dreadnought body. Black and white purfling and an abalone and pearl headstock inlay finish the vintage look.
Traditional bracing and mahogany back and sides give it a pure vintage sound, and the sound profile is listed as balanced and versatile. The strings are phosphor bronze. The color and body-size entries are unclear, so appearance should be confirmed.
Who it's for
Acoustic players who value traditional construction and a balanced tone across styles. Left-handed players are out, and anyone wanting a pickup should look at an electro model.
Pros and cons
- Sitka spruce top
- Mahogany back and sides

Performance notes
Traditional bracing supports the spruce top while mahogany back and sides give a focused, vintage character. A fixed rosewood bridge anchors phosphor bronze strings. The listed balanced and versatile profile suits mixed styles.
