Guitar quality, fit and finish, setup and sound are way above expectations. I could not be happier and pleased. I have owned Martin, Taylor and Larrivee acoustics. The Ava is everything I wanted in a solid wood mahogany guitar. Stands head to head against the competitive models offered by the bigger manufacturers. I think the Ava sounds better, plays better and looks better. Coming with a hard shell case and was in tune out of the case. Thank you Orangewood for making this guitar and your dedication to first time guitar players.
