Blueridge Guitars: A Good Choice in Tough Economic Times
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008
As I have mentioned before, one of my local music stores is Gryphon Stringed Instruments in nearby Palo Alto. I love Gryphon for many reasons including the fact that the guy who literally wrote the book on Martin guitars, Richard Johnston, is the co-owner. I have purchased 3 guitars there and I’m confident I am far from through. Gryphon carries a wide variety of high-end acoustic guitars including guitars by Martin, Taylor, Santa Cruz, Collings and Huss & Dalton. However, in the front of the store are usually a number of Blueridge Guitars. Blueridge? I hadn’t heard of Blueridge. Are they comparable to Martin Guitars? What’s the story here?
