Blueridge is an acoustic guitar brand owned and distributed by Saga Musical Instruments, a stringed-instrument company based in South San Francisco, California. The line focuses on reproductions of pre-war and classic American flat-tops, with models built in China to Saga's specifications. Guitars are typically constructed with solid Sitka spruce tops, scalloped bracing, dovetail neck joints, and rosewood or mahogany back and sides, aimed at players who want vintage-style tone and aesthetics at a more accessible price than boutique or vintage alternatives.
The catalog is organized into the Historic Series and Contemporary Series, covering dreadnoughts, 000/auditorium bodies, 12-fret and slope-shouldered models, parlors, and tenor guitars. Well-known models include the BR-140, BR-160, BR-143, and BR-180 dreadnoughts, along with cutaway acoustic-electric variants such as the BR-143CE. The brand has found a particular following in the bluegrass and flatpicking community, as well as among fingerstyle and folk players drawn to its herringbone-trimmed, Martin-inspired designs.
Blueridge guitars are stocked through specialty acoustic dealers such as Elderly Instruments, Hobgoblin Music, and Gladesville Guitar Factory, and have received positive coverage from publications including Guitarist, Total Guitar, and Music Maker, which have highlighted the line's tone and build quality relative to its price point.
Blueridge has 17 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Steel-string Acoustic Guitars and Acoustic-Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 14 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Folk, World, & Country, and Pop. Notable users include Paul McCartney, Buzz Osborne (aka King Buzzo), and Dean Ween.
