I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't played it myself, but these Chinese made Blueridge guitars are something to be reckoned with.

The tone is great, full and woody, the factory action was set well and no issues that I could see. I was surprised by what a good instrument this one is for the money. Here are the details cut and pasted from the musiciansfriend site.

* Select solid Sitka spruce top
* Bone nut and saddle
* Includes hardshell case

Those three on a budget guitar are good.

* Slope-shoulder style body
* 16" lower bout
* Slim mahogany neck
* Dovetail neck joint at 14th fret
* Rosewood fingerboard
* 1-11/16" nut width
* 24-3/4" scale length
* Rosewood bridge
* Exclusive diamond-and-snowflake headstock and fingerboard inlay design
* White binding and soundhole rosette
* Vintage-style dark-tortoise pickguard
* Open-back vintage style tuners
* Grained-ivoroid buttons

Good sound and playability. Mine's a sunburst.
