    Used to have one of these Blueridge Parlors. Honestly was superb. I have a few high end Martins and this was very close to that quality. It seems very near in spec to the Martin Parlors and there is no real corners cut on the materials. You need to be sure you like the wide nut and V neck, but if you do, very hard to beat:

    All my acoustics are USA-built Pro ones except my Blueridge tenor, it is comparable to £1k USA-built stuff I think, so I'd recommend them

    that's a pretty different choice. I'd first ask how much do you have to spend? And where are you  based?

    actually, I do have an Alan Arnold Baritone, which is lovely, I was thinking of standard size guitars

    I just buy on quality and residual value usually, I'm afraid the Americans invented most guitar stuff, and they are rather good at it

    oh there's some pretty good British ones too 

    Residual value means little, if not "nothing" to me - at my age :D
