This is a dreadnought guitar This is the 97Th guitar made buy blueberry. It has a beautiful Eagle carving on the back and sides as well as the head stock. The back and sides are made from tasmanian black wood. Top is Alaskan spruce. Neck is a Combination of ebony and mahognany.The inlay is a combination of mother of pearl and natural and stained woods. The guitar is light as a feather!! I can't say anything that will give this guitar the justice that it deserves!! There an't nothen out there, that will even come close to this workman ship, Beauty and above all the Sound. Well maybe another Blueberry. It has a Pick guard that you can't hardly even see because it is so thin and clear.Danny Fonfeder, I love you' for making it possible to own a guitar of this quality!!!You have some very talented people working for you. God bless them all!!!! I am now 64 years old and have been playing since I was 17. I own a Martin D45, Blueridge BR280, An epiphone DR500RAVS and a Guild D50. Thay are all beautiful and play very nice, But they an't none of them that come close to this Blueberry,when it comes to looks, sound, playability.

Set up was great right out of the case. I have look all over to see if maybe one of the feathers on the eagle, got a little ruffled, but I can't find a flaw any where on this guitar. The finish is beautiful.

I will play this guitar anywhere execpt around a bunch of children, because they might harm it. I think this guitar will last a life time if it is taken care of the way nit should be. This is one guitar that you can depend on day after day. I won't need a back up with this guitar, but I always have one close by just in case I break a few strings!

This guitar is the Blueberry Dreadnought with a stunning carved floral theme. This is the second amazing guitar I have purchased and was lucky enough for it to be one of the first 30 guitars every produced by Blueberry. The top is Alaskan Spruce. The back and sides are made of beautiful floral carved walnut and the neck is a combination of ebony, redwood and mahogany. The fret board is ebony with inlays of yellow jack wood. The bridge, rosette and head stock are solid ebony and also carved with the same floral design.

This guitar is a thing of beauty and the rich sound fills the room. It has a deeper sound that the Grand Concert Model but still has the ability for you to hear and enjoy those sparkling trebles. With most dreadnoughts, you have one or the other but with the Blueberry dreadnought, you have both. The guitar actually feels alive in your hands. I hear sounds that I do not hear with my other collectible guitars. Once again, those amazing Balinese carvers put their touch on this guitar with a beautiful array of floral carvings. This is not only a fantastic guitar that any professional would be proud to own for it's tonal range, intonation, sustain and booming sound but it also belongs in an art gallery.

Blueberry did it again. I asked for the action to be 1/16th on the 12 fret and once again they delivered. There are many things that went into making this guitar that gives it that special sound. The fretboard is wood bound so the feel of the neck is always smooth and free of sharp frets. Hardwood laminates stiffen the neck, adding to the instrument???s ability to hold it's tune. I have had this guitar for two weeks and have only tuned it once and that was the day I recieved it.
Looking inside the guitar, you can see that it is finely braced and great care was taken in doing so. With some acoustics, you can see glue coming from under the bracing or cracks that have been filled. Blueberry is about as perfect as you can get on the effort they took on the bracing to give you the best performing guitar you can imagine.

I will say again as I did in my first review, I collect guitars so I have no idea how the Blueberry would hold up but I have a feeling that this guitar could stand with the best of them. Even though it is very light in weight, it feels extremely solid.

My over all rating is a big 10. If my credit cards wouldn't have melt down, I would buy one Blueberry a month. I have a number of very collectible guitars and Blueberry stands tall next to all of them.
