Vintage Materials for Authentic Tone

The BR-263's solid Adirondack spruce top is hand-selected for superior clarity and projection. When paired with solid rosewood back and sides, you'll experience a balanced acoustic voice with chimey highs, punchy mids and tight bass. Scalloped bracing allows the spruce top to vibrate freely, producing volume and note articulation ideal for fingerstyle playing or light strumming. The tone woods are finished in a high-gloss natural hue to showcase their beauty.

A Neck and Fingerboard Built for Playability

The BR-263's slim mahogany neck and premium ebony fingerboard provide a familiar, fast feel reminiscent of fine pre-war acoustics. The mahogany's smoothness and stability lend comfort and inherent durability. Ebony's hardness creates a smooth fingerboard surface for seamless transitions between chords and single notes. A 1 3⁄4" nut width gives you room to fret chords comfortably without feeling cramped.

Appointments with Vintage Style

Blueridge added distinctive touches to complete the BR-263's retro vibe. Herringbone trim accents the top, back and sides with a rosette made of wood marquetry surrounding the soundhole. A tortoise-style pickguard protects the top while adding visual interest. Snowflake position markers provide a vintage look down the length of the ebony fingerboard. These handsome details honor traditional guitar craft in a bold, stylish way.
