Since the 1970s, Blueridge Guitars have carved out a name among acoustic guitar lovers for their incredible tone, stunning craftsmanship, and unmatched value. Inspired by classic prewar instruments and built with today’s players in mind, Blueridge guitars are known worldwide for capturing the soul of vintage acoustics—without the vintage price tag.
At Colemans Music in Melbourne (and online Australia-wide), we’re proud to stock a handpicked range of Blueridge acoustic guitars that deliver outstanding sound and aesthetics for all types of players—from bedroom pickers to touring professionals.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the standout Blueridge models you’ll find at Colemans Music today.
Blueridge BR-163CE – Compact, Comfortable & Stage-Ready
If you’re a fingerstyle player or someone who prefers the comfort of a smaller-bodied acoustic, the Blueridge BR-163CE is a stellar choice. This 000-size cutaway model features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides, offering a rich and articulate tone that’s great for both recording and live use.
The onboard pickup system means it’s gig-ready straight out of the box, and the classic herringbone detailing gives it a touch of vintage flair.
Blueridge BR-183 – A Collector's Dream in a 000 Body
The Blueridge BR-183 is a showstopper. With lavish abalone pearl inlays, top-tier tonewoods, and meticulous craftsmanship, this all-solid 000 model is a dream guitar for players who appreciate fine details.
It’s part of Blueridge’s Historic Series, inspired by highly sought-after prewar acoustic designs. The smaller body size makes it exceptionally comfortable, while the solid East Indian rosewood back and sides deliver a full, resonant tone ideal for fingerpicking, folk, or light strumming.
Blueridge BR-180 – Big Sound, Premium Feel
For players who want that bold, dreadnought power, the Blueridge BR-180 delivers in spades. This classic dreadnought acoustic guitar features a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, producing deep bass, rich mids, and sparkling highs.
With premium appointments like abalone purfling, gold-plated tuners, and a vintage-inspired headstock inlay, the BR-180 doesn’t just sound amazing—it looks the part, too.
Blueridge BR-180CE – The Stage-Ready Powerhouse
Love everything about the BR-180 but need something gig-ready? The Blueridge BR-180CE takes all the tonal brilliance and visual elegance of the standard model and adds a cutaway for upper fret access and an onboard pickup system for amplified performance.
Whether you're playing a festival, a wedding gig, or a studio session, the BR-180CE is a true workhorse with head-turning looks and professional tone.
