Let’s take a look at these separately.Ī 2 Digit (Or laminate, as explained above) Blueridge can begin with either a 4X a 6X or a 7X.ĤX - Back and sides are made of laminated Mahogany.ĦX - Back and sides are made of laminated East Indian Rosewood.ħX - Back and sides are made of laminated Santos Rosewood. Depending on how many digits are in the guitar’s number, you either look at the first one or two to tell what body wood it has and slightly different rules apply for each. If a guitar has a 1 as its last digit you need to look to see if it has a T suffix to tell whether it’s an 0 size or a Tenor. The last digit of a Blueridge model number will designate what body size a guitar has.Ġ - A guitar with a number ending in 0 will be a 14-Fret Dreadnought sized instrument (BR-40, BR-260, etc.)ġ - A 12-Fret 0 sized body or a Tenor sized guitar. A three digit number (XXX) means that the guitar has a solid Spruce top, and solid back/sides. The first thing to look at when looking at a Blueridge guitar is how many digits does it have in its model number? A two digit number (XX) will mean that the guitar has a solid Spruce top with laminate back and sides. Each guitar number gives a lot of information so it’s best to look at each aspect individually. The numbering system on a Blueridge guitar is the most telling portion of a guitar’s model name. Found on a smaller number of models, “ BG” designates that the guitar is either a Jumbo body size or a Slope-Shoulder Dreadnought.

Let's take a look at each and see how they work together. It won't tell you every detail about a guitar but it will help you narrow down some important specs quickly.Ī Blueridge model name is made up at least 2 and sometimes 3 different parts the letters before the hypen, the numbers and the letters after the hypen. However, with a little bit of understanding it's actually a very understandable system that allows you to quickly scan multiple instruments to find what you're looking for. On the surface it's a confusing mix of letters and numbers that don't give a whole lot of information. Similar to Martin guitars, the Blueridge naming scheme can be baffling.
