Got this Austen as a "spare" plus to use if the grandkids want to learn. It plays well and sounds good. For the money you cant beat the value. The gig bag is quality. I am very pleased with it and hope that they make a 12 string someday. Thanks orangewood

Brought this guitar because I started taking lessons recently and wanted a high quality product that was affordable. Completely love how it looks and sounds! Would definitely recommend the Austen for anyone looking to buy their first guitar.

I had heard of these guitars on many youtube channels and decided to give orangewood a try. Looking at the site, I decided to settle with the Austen for its cheap price. It took about a week to arrive due to me living across the country but I fell in love with this instrument upon unzipping the bag. Although the color does not match the one in picture (the guitar is more orange than the white it shows) The instrument feels smooth and resonates nicely, especially for an import guitar. My only issues with the guitar are that my Low E string still buzzes even after adjusting the truss rod and that the bridge pins aren't evenly level (Some are deeper in than others) but not anything too serious. I definitely recommend picking this guitar up for its really cheap price and I will consider picking up another guitar such as the Echo live.

I purchased this guitar after a friend of mine, a Lutheir recommended I check them out.
For the price you cannot beat the quality of the build. This dreadnought plays really nice and sounds better than I anticipated.
The guitar is oddly quiet while fingerpicking, a phenomenon I’ve not been able to figure out yet, but has a nice full body sound when strummed with a pic.
For the price it’s hard to beat!

I've been looking into getting a new guitar for quite some time now and after tons of research, I decided to purchase this guy. I absolutely love this guitar! It's the perfect acoustic guitar. I also love that it came strung and with it's own bag. I am really happy I decided to purchase the Austen!
