Hudson live is a great guitar for the money I could not find A guitar of its caliber in the same price range quality materials all solid wood construction premium electronics Grover tuners and very nice hard shell case guitar was in tune and perfectly set up right out of the box A++ from me I love it I challenge you to find a better guitar for the money good luck 🍀

This guitar plays and sounds and feels like a high end Taylor but with its own unique sound. My guitar has some very minor finish flaws where the fingerboard meets the neck, but they gave me a 5% discount for it. That’s the only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of the flaws. Great guitar.

Sounds great plugged in
I love the satin finish frets are nicely polished. Nicely set up. Easy to play low action. Sonically very well balanced string to string. Does not have a huge amount of sound output I’m not sure if this is because of that electronics, The finish the bridge heinght or because it needs more break in time ive been letting it out to dry. I’ll keep Strumming And let you know in a few months

After reading about the quailty and listening to some reviews on You-Tube, I figured what do I have lose but time in that Orangewood provides you time to "test-drive" their guitars. Usually I like to play a guitar first to see if it fits my expectations related to ease of play and quality of sound being produced. So, I purchased the Hudson Live. The guitar arrived very promptly. Opening the box to find a well made guitar case and inside a very eye appealing guitar. What I first noticed when I played the guitar, was that it did not take very much in terms of strumming to provide a very pleasing response (High-mid-low).I have many high end guitars, but something in the Hudsons ability to produce a tone at such a level was amazing. The neck, fret board all feel very comfortable. The LR Baggs Anthem addition just brings the Hudson to another level in terms of its tone quality. I personally feel this is comparable to a Martin D-18, which you would pay much more for. Keep up the GREAT work.

I bought this guitar the day they came available as well. When it arrived my heart was broken to see the un-attached electronics (LR BAGGS ANTHEM PICKUP). It had apparently fallen off during the shipping process. Unwilling to let the guitar go because of how wonderful it is built and how awesome it sounds, I repaired the guitar myself. I will say that customer service provided by Oroangewood is excellent. They would have sent me a brand new Hudson Live, but again I chose to keep the guitar as I immediately fell in love with it! I am giving the five stars because Orangewood has excellent customer support and has gone over and beyond giving you a high-end built guitar at a fraction of the cost!
