The finish on the guitar looks great. Satin neck is smooth albeit a bit thicker than my taste. On the model I received, theres 5 dead frets heading towards the bridge on the high E starting at the 15th fret. On the B string, dead frets from 16 - 18. On the G string, some pinging on frets 17 - 18. As a cutoff - the intent of the body style is to have access to the upper frets and in my case, they are unusable.

I was very surprised at quality of the instrument, straight out of the box, just
needed a tuning and it was off to the races. I have two other acoustic guitars, this
is now my favorite. Keep up the great work! I'm a true believer. Thanks Henry

I just discovered the difference in intermediate level and budget level guitars earlier this year when I got a Taylor GS Mini. I wanted a full size guitar with the same level of sound. The reviews were so mixed on Orangewood, but since I have no aspirations of performing professionally, I figured why not try it. I LOVE this thing! The action was perfect for me out of the box, so the playability is great. The form and finish is beautiful and it sounds great to me! I'm very happy with my purchase so far.

Great sound and well setup. The action could be a little lower (my preference). Beautiful and nicely finished and I like the Fishman preamp.

I was worried when noticed the package was damaged and the box was open. After close inspection, no damage to the instrument.

Not much else to add. Orangewood makes a great budget guitar. My only complaint is the action seems a bit too high.
