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 & striking way.

Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock: Overall very good condition, all aspects of the headstock demonstrate infrequent light scratching and indentation, most notably to the front treble side edge where the guitar would contact a hanger. This has caused a very small spot of finish delamination.
Neck: Overall very good condition, the fingerboard demonstrates light playwear in the early to middle register, somewhat difficult to discern from the natural grain. There is some evidence the guitar has had a previous re-fret performed to a professional standard, however chipping from the fret slots can be identified. This has been repaired well during the re-fret and is common with ebony boards.
Body: Overall very good condition, the front face demonstrates consistent very light scratching between the soundhole and the treble side waist, consistent with the use of a plectrum. This causes a slight hazing of the finish under direct lighting at certain angles. Some light indentation is apparent to the lower bout that slightly pierces the finish. This is only visible under direct lighting. The sides and rear demonstrate light scratching, most apparent to the center of the lower bout visible only under direct lighting at certain angles.
Condition of Frets:
The frets demonstrate moderate signs of use, with some moderate indentation in the early register that does not affect playability. There is moderate material remaining for future fret work.
