2025 Blueridge BR-40T Tenor Guitar

Overview: We just had another BR-40T from 2013 in here recently. It's good to see that the model has been pretty consistent throughout its build as this one is just as good as the last. This example is "almost new" and clean.

It's basically the company's take on a Martin 0-18T but the neck shape is a little deeper and fuller and it has '70s-looking trim (black pickguard!) but with a '30s-style saddle design. I'd say these get very close to the 0-18T sound but they have more punch and guts in the mids and less of a relaxed, sweetened voice overall. They make better jam and ensemble instruments because of that, though, as they cut a lot better.

Repairs included: I just gave this a quick setup. It's playing spot-on and ready to serve.
