This isn’t just another guitar; it’s a meticulously crafted instrument designed to captivate both the eyes and ears of discerning musicians.

Every element of the BL-163 is chosen to contribute to an authentic, played-in feel and sound.

Visual appeal is added with a beautiful vintage sunburst finish. The result is a sound with a deep, powerful bass response and the clear treble notes that really cut through the mix.

For musicians seeking that coveted prewar tone without the vintage price tag yet is constructed using the most advanced design elements and manufacturing techniques, the new Bristol BL-163 by Blueridge offers an unparalleled blend of classic design, premium materials, and superb playability.
