I learned about Orangewood from a friend when I picked up their guitar to noodle around on. The portable size, lovely finish and colors, and perfect action captivated me and so for the first time in 15 years I decided I would buy a new guitar.
I really like my Oliver Jr, but it arrived with a bunch of wood pieces rattling around in the body (no big deal) and the action was nowhere near what my friend’s unadjusted Oliver Jr. had boasted, which had been a major factor in my decision.
I was disappointed by the action, but the price point was nice, the complimentary travel case was a good perk, and overall I enjoy the guitar. The sound can be a little hollow with some notes, but for practicing it’s perfect and I don’t consider this a downside for myself.
