Guitar Question. Blueridge BR-160? Edit. I bought it.

Anybody with thoughts on it?
I picked one up and strummed it at Guitar Center. It is used. It's $399?
I loved the sound and its action was low. I know any guitar guy can "set up" mine off a low action.
I looked it up online and they look to be above $399. Am I missing something? Guitar Center usually knows how to overprice their shite. Seeking wisdom here. God help me.
ETA. It was $399 only. Came with case. Condition appears great. Did I "get over" on Guitar Center? Is that even possible?

Blueridge is legit, a very good made-in-China brand, with the BR's modeled after Martins. If you like the thin neck profile and the headstock bling doesn't bother you, go for it. New price would have been $700-$800 a few years ago.

I've played them a few times and liked them. They have a Martin'esque sound and are easy to play.

The one I played looks and sounds great. Action was very low.

My grandfather has a Blueridge. Not sure on the model but they're great guitars for the money. I love playing around on it.

Bump due to edit.
Really like some guitar nerd input.

Hopefully it came with new strings. I ended up liking Martin SP Phosphor Bronze Custom Lights on my BR-163, which is the smaller-bodied sister of your dread. They're both solid woods with East Indian rosewood back and sides and Sitka spruce top. They're often compared to Martin models D-28 and OM-28.

Have Martins on my "old" one. I believe these are elixirs.
I've preferred the elixirs. Again, I am just a beginner here. Buying this guitar for me is like a guy who can only play Every Rose owning a pre war Martin.
