New Wood, Vintage Tone

Roasting spruce speeds up its natural aging process, delivering a played-in, old-school tone. This torrefaction process removes excess moisture, making the guitar more resistant to overall atmospheric changes—perfect for tonal consistency.

The Golden Age

With retro charm and a contemporary build, the Highland Collection captures a timelessness that never goes out of style. From the Grover open-gear tuners to the herringbone details, every element is crafted with care.

Set Up in Los Angeles

Professionally set up before shipping, your guitar arrives ready to play—with fresh strings and a durable hard case included.

Studio Mic’d Sound

The LR Baggs Anthem is an all-in-one pickup system that combines a mic and undersaddle piezo with remarkable noise cancellation for performance-ready warmth and fidelity.

Great Guitar!

Firstly, I've been playing professionally my whole life. I started in 1966 and have had many acoustic guitars. I got the Ava Sunburst Live because I was looking for a slot head with 14 frets to the neck. This guitar is beautiful. I like the satin finish. The neck is 1 3/4'" , but to me it doesn't feel like it. Maybe it's the string spacing. When it arrived, the action was a little high, so I lowered it by sanding the saddle. No problem. I changed the strings to Elixer custom lights, which I use on all my guitars. This changed the balance of the strings when plugged in. Messed with that a couple of weeks. Fixed that again with saddle adjustments. Now its balanced with great action, I play mostly finger style and this guitar is so comfortable to play. It's light and the size is just right. Now I;m ready to bring it on a gig. I'll let you know how it goes!

Orangewood Ava Vintage

Very comfortable to play and sounds great too!

Amazing

I love this guitar so much. I pick it up and play it live 8/10 times over my custom rosewood Martin. The only thing I don’t absolutely love about this guitar is the slotted head stock. If you released this same guitar with a solid headstock, I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Keep up the amazing work Orangewood!

Love it

I’ve had my Ava TS Live for maybe 6 months now, and it seems to have gotten better day by day. The lows are lower, the highs higher, and the mid range more distinct. Easy to play and love the satin finish. I didn’t care for it a lot out of the box, but now it’s a different and great sounding guitar.
I recommend it to anyone looking for that Mahoney/spruce Grand Concert

Thanks for the review Jack! Glad you're enjoying your Ava TS Live more each day! It sounds like you noticed your guitar 'opening up,' as new guitars will do. As your guitar continues to age, you'll notice the tone of the wood also continues to improve. Enjoy!
