- If You like bearclaws in your finish, get a Taylor 110 ,210 or 214, you have to check thru them carefully to find a guitar without bearclaws. I thik they are ugly.
Larrivee has a model called a Bearclaw finish, not as noticable when covered by a nice glossy finish.
The Blueridge BR-160 that I recently played had a nice tight grain and the aging toner was neat, but the tone and playablity blew away lo end Taylors and Martins.
