I've been playing guitars, electric and acoustic, for over 45 years. My old acoustic , a made in Mexico Martin Road Series, got badly damaged when we move back to Texas from Colorado. I had taken notice of Orangewood guitars, but I felt leary of buying a guitar without being able to take a test drive. After a year of watching reviews on YouTube and talking to a couple of friends who bought one, I decided to pull the trigger. I made the choice of getting the 300.00 Echo, because I love dreadnought. I received it in just a few days. I opened the box, pulled out the gig bag and guitar. I, of course, did have to tune it up. Then I played it, not being able to put it down for at least two hours. The guitar was perfectly set up, so much so, there was zero need to make any adjustments. I've had Gibson J45 and other higher end guitars, and this guitar, though not as rich sounding as the Gibson, sounds like a 800.00 - 1000.00 guitar. I am really impressed!
