Here for sale we have a Blueridge BR-341 Electro-Acoustic guitar in gloss Natural finish. This guitar features an all-solid construction comprising a Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck and 19 fret Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. The body is double-bound in solid Maple, whilst the top is adorned with multi-stripe purfling and rosette. The slotted headstock features 3-aside open gear tuners. An aftermarket undersaddle piezo pickup has been fitted which is wired to a soundhole mounted volume control.
The Mahogany neck plays exceptionally well, with a profile which might be described as a fairly substantial soft ‘V’ shape which provides a suitably vintage-inspired playing experience across the register while the Ebony of the fretboard is luxurious under the fingers. The small stature of the Parlor body design is supremely comfortable in the arms and provides a sense of intimacy to the playing experience.
The acoustic voice of the BR-341 is supremely well-balanced thanks to its small size. The Sitka Spruce top projects beautifully, and whilst not providing as much volume as a larger body instrument like a dreadnought, delivers plenty of dynamic range without any loss of clarity at higher volumes. The Mahogany back & sides add depth and warmth to the sound which balances beautifully with the brightness of the Sitka Spruce. This is a distinctive instrument with the unique sound that we expect from a Parlor, in a beautifully made & strikingly attractive package.
