With the iconic dreadnought acoustic shape, Berkeley’s resonant, full-range voice fills a room with energy. We topped Berkeley with torrefied solid Sitka spruce matched with solid pau ferro back and sides for a rich, aged tone. Gold hardware, abalone detailing, and Grover open gear tuners round out the vintage-inspired design.
Note: Torrefaction is a unique baking process. Every guitar is one of a kind, and the finish may slightly vary in color.
With our expert setup, your guitar is ready to play right out of the delivery box. All Topanga models come freshly restrung with Ernie Ball Phosphor Bronze strings.
Inspired by lush natural acoustics, we added a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top and, for the first time ever, solid pau ferro back & sides to our Topanga Collection.
Take your guitar everywhere with our sturdy hard case. Designed for durability and comfortability, it’s made for the guitarist on the go.
The guitar looks, sounds and plays amazing! Incredible value.
Sounds great and perfect setup. Very fun to play. Only complaint are a couple of small stains to the spruce top. Other than the small blemishes it looks and plays fantastic
Please don’t let the title fool you into the misleading idea that this isn’t my favorite guitar, because in only three weeks of ownership and 24 plus years playing guitar, it absolutely is. The tone, the action, the smoothness of play, and the overall feel of this guitar are all second to none. The only “however” is simple: the back and sides are made of Pau Ferro which offers a superb tone and timbre but sadly mine has two very large cracks which have been obviously noted then repaired, then sealed and finished to be covered over. Both cracks are in excess of 4 inches and are definitely a result of the drying of the wood, whether kiln dried or other form, and were attempted to be “filled” and planed. Sadly the imperfection causes the thin finish (which I love and feel like adds better sound characteristics) to rise and contour to the imperfections leaving noticeable “veins”. Now that I’ve made it sound terrible I have to admit that this is more of a character trait of the guitar and not something that in any manner affects the sound and feel of an otherwise beautiful, and “ALMOST” perfect instrument. You have done a wonderful job Orangewood and nothing will keep me from recommending these guitars to others, but I was surprised that a B stock of wood was used in the highest family of your products, but for the price, this guitarist is a happy camper. Thank you so very much.
This is the best sounding guitar I’ve ever owned and I’ve played for 25 years owned over 30 or more guitars
I have had my Berkeley a week now.
I try to play it everyday. I do enjoy it. I have several Highend American made Guitars; I place the sound right there with them. Also wonderfully made and clean on details.
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you're enjoying your Berkeley!
