Treat yourself to the best of both (sonic) worlds. This iconic slope-shoulder dreadnought combines the fullness of a larger body with the comfort of a narrower design, making the dreadnought more accessible than ever.
The Dolores is our go-to acoustic guitar for balanced projection and excellent resonance.
Highlights:
All-solid wood with a torrefied spruce top and mahogany back and sides
Smooth ebony fretboard and bridge
Grover open-gear tuners for reliable performance
Vintage-inspired design with herringbone-pattern details and binding
NOTE: aged torrefied wood naturally varies in color and texture—no two models are exactly alike

Roasting spruce speeds up its natural aging process, delivering a played-in, old-school tone. This torrefaction process removes excess moisture, making the guitar more resistant to overall atmospheric changes—perfect for tonal consistency.
The Golden Age
With retro charm and a contemporary build, the Highland Collection captures a timelessness that never goes out of style. From the Grover open-gear tuners to the herringbone details, every element is crafted with care.
Set Up in Los Angeles
Professionally set up before shipping, your guitar arrives ready to play—with fresh strings and a durable hard case included.
I'm a new player and my music teacher mention he had another student that loved his Orangewood. I did my research and bought the Delores. My teacher likes it too. He said after seeing and playing 2 of them he feels comfortable recommending Orangewood!! I dig the purple interior of my hard case!

Orangewood Dolores
I took my Dolores to my guitar guy legitimate business. He liked it. He suggested going to a Guitar Store and play other guitars to compare. I did that.
My Delores:
Visual appearance = 5 stars.
Sound = 5 stars.
Playability = 5 stars.
Construction = 5 stars.
Orangewood stay focused to continue building decent guitars.
Thanks for your review, Ralph! Enjoy your Dolores!

so so at best!
There are many pros: solidly built, nice finish/sunburst, came setup and it was a good setup, Cons: dull tone, no brilliance the sound is unlike the mahogany guitars I have owned.Is it real mahogany or some other similar wood? I would say that for the cost it was worth it. Good case included.
