Got a rare treat recently. Was conferring with my luthier over repairs to the neck of my F212XL when in walks a matched pair of Blueridge dreds, a BR-180 and a custom order only BR-180-12. Stunning guitars. I got to play the 12 and "Wow!" is about as articulate as I can manage. I was equally stunned to learn the guitar was made in China. Does anyone here have any opinions/experience with Blueridge? I really want a rosewood 12 and might have to stray from the fold.
In case some of you might lose sleep over the fate of Cassiopeia, she had a small crack under the treble truss rod which is now fixed and stable. It was necessary to strip the entire neck to discern if anything else was going on and happily nothing but pristine wood met our gaze. Despite the fact that I've moved 250 miles away from St Louis I will always give John Mondin first refusal on my repair work. He is awesome!
Cheers All!
