Even as musical tastes continued to evolve, the acoustic guitar etched out its place in history, not only as a traditional form of musical expression, but more importantly found its rightful place in all forms of popular music. While other manufactures followed trends toward other styles of guitars even back to the electric scene, Saga remained true to acoustic music and continued to offer premium models in the Blueridge line.
