    Re: Nylon strings on Blueridge BR40T?

    While I very much agree with this post... I am brought back to many years ago when I owned this lovely Shenandoah (by Martin) little parlor guitar. Certainly a steel string, guitar but at this stage...

    Excellent deal, congrats!! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous. That Amazon - there are some good deals to be found there if you look around.

    I was going to recommend cbgitty as well, didn’t know they didn’t have any 14mm spaced bridges. 14mm seems like an oddity - what typically comes in that spacing with four strings?
