Brooklyn

I'm simply speechless about this instrument.

It is gorgeous, it sounds clean, clear and bright with plenty of rich wood but no boominess at all.

It was delivered quickly with a PERFECT setup. I literally did nothing but tune it and start playing.

The frets: perfect. Not a high spot or sprout or rough edge to be found.

The neck: perfect.

Intonation: perfect.

Tuning keys: very, very good. Not perfect. They feel like the shaft to the key is a little thin for my taste. It's not rock solid like I like but I mean... ok, they're perfect. Flawless, just not to my taste.

The wood: perfect. Not a scratch, ding, discoloration, high spot, low spot, nothing.

Strings: perfect. I love a light-medium string. They were new, fresh and bright and only about a semitone out of tune from traveling (which is actually a good thing. You don't want a guitar in transit to be at full tension).

Did I mention it came with a really nice little gig bag? I hadn't realized that. I was about to order one when it arrived and I got a super sweet little surprise.

I'm assuming this wood was aged well and won't develop any problems down the line but for the price I have never received a finer instrument in my life.

Bravo Orangewood.

You've made a fan out of me, not just a customer.

I have an Oliver mahogany purchased a few months ago and liked it so much I decided to buy another guitar from orangewood. Recieved the brooklyn a couple days ago and it's another beautiful guitar. After changing strings to D'Addario xs phosphor/bronze custom lites she sounds awesome. (The strings that were on it were discolored and sounded dull to my ears). That's the only issue I had. Action perfect right out of the box. Plays well above it's price point.

Sounds and feels amazing. The complimentary setup was a nice touch. I slightly messed up putting the pick guard on but that was my fault haha. Will intend on getting another guitar in the future~

Great guitar great sound and very playable !

I’ve been playing guitar for a while and own some quality guitars like Martin and Taylor 700 series.
My grandson developed an interest in learning guitar.
So we decided to get him a new guitar for Christmas.
Since he’s just starting out, we didn’t want to invest too heavily but on the other hand I wanted something that would have decent tone and excellent playability which I know from experience is the most important thing for a beginner.
So we opted for the Brooklyn. with the optional hardcase.
I’m happy to say that I am very impressed and pleased with the quantity of construction, tone and playability.
I was able to set the action low with xtra light strings without any buzzing or any other issues.
My grandsons guitar teacher was also very impressed with the Brooklyn.
What a value!!!!
A guitar like this in a music store would cost at least twice the amount, if not more.
Orangewood’s business model makes owning a good instrument very affordable.
