Watch Horace Bray Demo Oliver Jr. Mahogany
With our expert setup, your guitar is ready to play right out of the delivery box. All Overland models come freshly restrung with iconic Ernie Ball acoustic strings.
Take your guitar everywhere with our premium gig bag, made with comfortable straps and durable padding for extra protection on the go.
Our Overland Collection Live models come equipped with a Fishman Sonitone EQ System, featuring a soundhole mounted preamp with rotary controls for volume and tone.
The guitar feels great, fret ends are all nicely filed, action is good, neck is straight, looks good, sounds good. Hits *way* above price point (construction appears to be easily equal to my Taylor GS Mini Mahogany, at less than half the price). The body "back strap" pin striping/inlay (actually looks like it might be a decal under the clear coat) is not straight, roughly 1/4" out of line from the endpin to the neck heel. Minor issue no one else will likely notice, but I noticed it immediately.
Very high quality guitar. I have a Taylor big baby and I kinda forgot about it now that I have a Oliver jr.
I bought the Oliver mahogany Jr. because the dreadnaught I’ve had for 20 years is really hard for me to play. I am a short lady with sizable booba, so the body was too big and the neck was too long. This is perfect for me - my barred chords are sooo much easier, and the sound is honestly better than my other one. I’m super happy with this purchase. (I should mention I’m an amateur/hobby player - so the sound is amazing to me, but Im also not a “trained ear”)
Love the Mahogany wood and the portability! The quality is amazing and plan on getting another Orangewood guitar soon!
..So it's been two weeks now since I received my new Oliver Jr Mahogany Live from Orangewood Guitars. I wanted to spend some time getting acquainted with it before I just fired off my opinions of it fresh out of the box. I am an old guy who has been playing/performing for decades but retired from live gigging in 2015 and pretty much just put away all of my "stuff." However, as a guitar player, I have always admired acoustic fingerstyle players and now have decided I want to try tackling that style more seriously. I thought the best way to start this journey would be on a 3/4 size shorter scale or "parlor" size guitar which I've always thought were pretty cool anyway, and on a model that wasn't going to break the bank..ie., I didn't want to spend more than three hundred bucks! So I researched several guitars in the size and price range I wanted and found the old saying "you get what you pay for" to be very much alive and well. After trying the Yamaha F Series offerings, the Fender C-100, the Gretsch Jim Dandy, an Ibanez PN12E, an Epiphone, and some others.. I didn't like any of them! So it looked like I was just gonna have to drop big bucks on a Taylor or a Martin or something like that in that price range to get any satisfaction. Before doing that though, I decided to take a chance on the Oliver Jr. Mahogany, of which I had seen several reviews on You Tube, etc., etc. I figured if I didn't like it I could send it back. Well, guess what? I'm keeping it! It looks great, I love the size, it sounds very good for a small guitar, even better than I thought it would, and after a tweak or two of the truss rod it plays great. Of course the Ernie Ball "medium light" strings were killing my fingers for the first week or so but I decided to leave them on to see I could get used to them which I eventually did and they seem fine now. I'll probably go to a lighter gauge when the time comes but for now I'm just gonna stick with the factory issue strings which Orangewood recommends. So while the Orangewood is not a Martin, Taylor, Zager, etc.,in my opinion, you cannot get a better value at a great price on a quality instrument than this Oliver Jr provides. I'm glad I gave Orangewood a shot and I'm definitely a satisfied customer. Sorry for the long review!
