New/Old (Slotted Blueridge) Guitar Day
Hello Acoustic Fellas,
I wasn't really on the search for another guitar (well maybe a small fingerpicker  ) but every now and then i take a look at the online adverts and there was one that caught my eye. It stated: 2008 Blueridge BR-361 Parlor. In my city and for a good price! So out of curiosity i just contacted the (very friendly) man and i tried her out. He hadn't played her in ages and she has always been out of the case collecting dust. And then i played her. The strings were really old (d'addario pb 12-53) but the action was great and she sounded like a piano. No jokes, the sound amazed me. I gave her a new home, strings... and some "attention" If anyone is interested here's the photo album of the process: https://flic.kr/s/aHskUNqdCp And now she sounds even better...

Ah! I always had a crush for that guitar, unfortunately all the ones (that is, 3) that crossed my path were meh.
But I keep the hope of finding one to my liking one day. Congrats.

Nice find. These Blueridge parlors have been high on my instruments of interest list for some time but I have yet to come across any to play. Congratulations!

Nice work and a worthy guitar. I have the 371 and it is worth more than its price. I prefer to tune it down a 1/2 step and now am back to elixir pb nano 12s for how long they last. Mine is aging well and holds its own against more expensive guitars. Enjoy!
