Description
Blueridge BR-40TCE Contemporary Series Acoustic-Electric Tenor Guitar
The Blueridge BR-40TCE Acoustic-Electric Tenor Guitar delivers a distinctive playing experience with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides for a balanced acoustic voice. Firstly, its tenor guitar size and 22.9" scale length provide comfortable playability for a wide range of musicians. Furthermore, the mahogany neck and East Indian rosewood fretboard create a smooth feel that supports confident fretting.
In addition, the forward-shifted scalloped X bracing helps maximize the instrument’s natural response and projection. Compared to larger acoustic instruments, the Blueridge BR-40TCE Acoustic-Electric Tenor Guitar offers a compact format that remains highly versatile. Above all, the natural high-gloss finish, tortoise binding with black and white lines, and mother-of-pearl appointments give this model an eye-catching appearance.
Premium Features and Stage-Ready Versatility
The Blueridge BR-40TCE Acoustic-Electric Tenor Guitar is equipped with an L.R. Baggs E.A.S pickup featuring built-in volume control, so players can easily transition from acoustic practice to amplified performance. Secondly, the Venetian cutaway allows easier access to higher frets for expanded playing possibilities. Likewise, the bone nut and nickel-plated tuners contribute to dependable functionality during regular use.
For example, the instrument comes strung with a D'Addario EJ66 bronze wound set and is tuned C–G–D–A, but it can also be tuned to D–G–B–E baritone tuning using the same strings. Therefore, musicians can explore different tonal approaches without changing string sets. Finally, the included ProTour BV-1511 Standard Gig Bag adds convenient protection and portability from the moment the guitar arrives.
