An Artist’s Secret Tool? The Rubber Bridge

Inspired by historic muting techniques and modified bridge designs of respected luthiers, we've put our unique spin on the dreamy rubber bridge tone.

Using our parlor as the base, we tested a number of rubber-lined saddle designs to find the right thickness and adjustability. We then upgraded the bridge construction with additional reinforcement and added in a trapeze tailpiece. The result? A muted yet articulate sound.

Upgraded Features

Ernie Ball Flatwounds provide a nice warmth to accentuate Juniper’s tonal textures, while Grover open-gear tuners ensure tuning stability. From beginning songwriters to touring pros, you can count on Juniper for reliable performance.

Plug In and Explore

Juniper sounds great unplugged, but you should hear it through your favorite amp and pedals. The high-output rail humbucker projects the perfect punch to balance out all that mellowness, and a simple cupcake-style knob adds volume control.

Expert Set Up + Gig Bag Included

Juniper is ready to play right out of the gig bag with a professional set up before shipment. When needed, you can easily fine-tune the guitar’s playability at home, using the headstock truss rod access, allowing for neck relief and adjustment.

Great quality, sound and playability.

Well made and fun!

This guitar is extremely fun to experiment with. Unlike any guitar that I've played before!

Thanks for the review Vincent! Enjoy your Juniper!

Incredible! Just buy it! Don’t even think twice!

What a beautifully appointed and well crafted instrument! The folks at Orangewood Guitars knocked this one WAY out of the park! This Juniper Rubber Bridge is an inspiration machine. Do yourself an easy favor and buy one right now.
I am incredibly pleased I did and you will be too! Thank you, Orangewood. Now please release a Juniper 12 fret standard bridge ☝️
I would gladly add that one to the arsenal as well😅😏

Unique sound

This guitar in unique, while the tone is a little hollow the bridge creates a unique 1930's type sound I have been looking for, Thanks
