I'm an intermediate guitar player with 25 years of experience, having owned many guitars, primarily acoustic. I'm not a guitar snob, but I hate cheaply made guitars (who doesn't?). The hype about the Oliver and the really low price were an irresistible temptation - I had to try it! And wow, I'm not disappointed. This guitar is amazing regardless of the price. It looks fantastic, smells fantastic, was setup perfectly, and most importantly - it sounds great. It feels and sounds better than many $1000+ guitars I've demoed in guitar stores. I was hoping for a bit more low-end punch, but I'm sure it will improve with age as most guitars do. Two thumbs up overall!

Very happy with my purchase. The packaging box had some dings from shipping but the guitar was in perfect condition. The quality and sound is great for the price point. The bag is a nice addition and makes it easy to take the guitar on the road.

I bought the week after christmas. No worries with delayed shippment - everyone deserves a holiday.

Guitar came with no nicks or scuffs. Plays great and everything I look for in a smaller guitar around the house. The volume is lower than the Blueridge BR-70 i have so the wife is pleased. The mellow tone is great for fingerpicking and a little strumming sounds nice with the 80/20 bronzes.
THE FIRST guitar I have bought online sight unseen and never played even a used one. Completely happy and saving for an Ava next Christmas.

Plenty of places to find a 10% of coupon online in the youtube reviews. If you've read this far - just buy the Mahogany Oliver - you will not be sorry.
P.S. If someone from Orangewood reads this - please put Ava on sale sometime this year.

This guitar is absolutely beautiful! I love the rich warm tones it produces and the feel is amazing. Such a high quality guitar and the price is out of the park. The color is so nice if you don't like the color of the Manhattan for example. Highly recommend this guitar and there is a reason it’s always sold out! Cheers orangewood for such great products!!

My new Orangewood guitar is beautiful to look at. I especially like the option to leave the pick guard off. I also love the feel of the neck. It is very smooth and comfortable. The tuners are fine. I've had to tune more than usual but I think it's because the guitar is new. As far as sound goes I think it's about average. After all of the glowing YouTube videos maybe my expectations were a little high. But I have owned similarly priced Yamaha guitars and their sound is far superior. We'll see. Time will tell. Still a good value but it is not special in that price range. You get what you paid for.
