The Orangewood accessory kit isn't exactly anything to write home about. The materials used for the strap have a similar smell to gasoline. Unfortunately the gig bag you get with all Orangewoods is made of similar material. I understand needing to cut corners for the money and it just so happened to have a few things I needed inside of it. A capo, a microfiber cloth, and a strap. I would suggest to Orangewood personally even if you have to increase the price of the kits a little more it would be worth it to replace the cheap cheap cheap straps they come with. Otherwise it was a decent buy and I'm not terribly unhappy.

It's been 5years seen the last time I played guitar, so it took me some time to get use to it. It plays great, sounds warm and the smell is somewhat addicting lol. I like the guitar. I'm looking forward to buy another one in the future.

It’s great! Very useful for beginners. If you’re a beginner and have nothing but a guitar this is a go!! You’re gonna need this items to start playing better.

I ordered the Mason Live for a friend of mine WHo is just learning to play, I had been watching the Youtube videos on Orangewood, and looking at the site for a while. Just so you know, I was a professional Bass player/ song writer in LA for a While, before falling on bad times, and most of my gear stolen. I had A very nice Guild acoustic before, (Pre Fender) and an assortment of Basses and Guitars, I also built, and repaired them. So I can speak from experience. I am restarting My life and will be getting this same guitar for myself, when I can.
But let me tell you that when It Came And I played it for the first time, I was Shocked at how amazing it played and sounded, this Guitar would have cost $1000.00 or more anywhere else. I used to work at guitar center and know. Right out of the Box this Guitar played fantastic, no set up or anything. You can't say that about Guitar Center. I can't wait till I can get my own Mason Live from Orangewood Guitars, don't ever change, you are wonderful, I will spread the word about it.
Thank you
