Brooklyn Live

Made small adjustments to my Brooklyn live but it’s an awesome guitar and so far my best acoustic one. Will definitely be adding more orange wood guitars to my collection

The sound was not good

I recently bought the brooklyn live and when i opened it up, the first thing i noticed was the beautiful mahogony top. Another thing that stood out to me was the Element VTC pickup which by the way sounds amazing. I’ve had many orangewoood guitars before, and this is definitely going to be played at some live gigs. Thanks orangewood for the great quality guitar!

The guitar is beautiful in appearance and finish. The tone is excellent- fuller than my Taylor 314CE. The neck is straight and the setup out of the box was excellent. I did adjust the truss rod to bring the neck a bit flatter to help with the action, and I also took a slight amount off the bridge saddle. I believe the action is as low as possible and the guitar is still hard to play particularly with first position chords. I put Martin Lifespan Custom Lights on the Brooklyn and Taylor. The Taylor is significantly easier to play, and holds tuning, compared to the Brooklyn, but the acoustic tone and projection is not as good, to my ears. I haven’t had the opportunity to play through the Anthem system, but my past experiences with that pickup have been decent. Overall, I don’t believe I lost anything in this purchase.

Excellent guitar for the money. Had some hicups with delivery and had to wait an extra week.Belly of guitar seemed like it was bulging a little when I unpacked it, but I think because of the weather changes from west coast to upstate ny in the cold wet weather had an effect on it. It seemed to be better after it warmed up the next day. I did change the strings to 11-52s . 12-54s a bit too much for my hands. Orangewood are sending a complimentary set of strings,,wish I told them to send a different size, but I will pay it forward and give to someone else. They told me if I had any further issues I could return it. Had some white stuff inside of guitar on the wood like splashes of something. I was able to clean it when I did the string change, plus there was a small piece of wood inside the body. I couldn’t see that it came from this guitar.. strange. Anyways I am very happy with the guitar. It is my 3rd purchase from Orangewood. Previously purchased the Morgan Live a few years ago and a ukulele. ☺️
