Hi all, I am new here so first off HELLO!

Joined up to ask if anybody on here knows anything about Gibson Blue Ridge acoustic guitars. I have just got one and it appears to be a bit of a mystery. Serial Number 814965 but I am told Gibson record keeping on acoustics was not as good as on the electrics. If anyone knows anything it would be great to hear it!
Thanks All

I don't know all it has is the Gibson logo Serial number and Blue Ridge written on the truss rod cover. Apart from that I got nothing unless the lack of information identifies it as a particular model?

None of those seem to match mine. Hopefully you can view this photo

are you positive yours is a Gibson Blue Ridge? the headstock on your example dos not resemble those on the linked web site.
the body looks like a Gibson, as the shoulder (where the neck joins) is straight instead of softer as in a Martin.

well it says gibson on it. do you think it may be possible it is an older one. I have read pre 1970 something was the 6 digit serial code and this page below seems to point to 1973. But hey I am no expert
