hi! i was wondering how the sound changed after you switched to those d’addario strings. i currently have the stock ones and they sound just a tad too bright for me. also, what’s the name of the song you played at 5:38 ? Thanks.
I'm teaching my nephew how to play on a really crappy ashthortpe guitar and he's really getting into it. I'm trying to talk his mom into this guitar. I feel like it's likely better than my Mitchell Tara series, which I feel is a great guitar for the money as well
This guy been playing for 20 years?
Hello, what country are they made? thanks
Ordered one for Christmas, it's on backorder until Jan sometime. I can't wait! Thanks for your review. I hope it stays in tune ????
I've had this guitar almost four years. Plays even better than new. Expect it will sound even better in twenty more.
I own the Morgan Mahogany Live and it's my favorite guitar.
thanks for this..thinking bout pulling the trigger on one ! cheers from Canada !
what is the weight of it? Can you use as a travel guitar? I m thinking of buying a good guitar for highking , and taking it with me, obvioulsy not on serious high mountains.
There is a reviewer on youtube that cut an orangewood guitar in half to check the materials and build quality; interesting what he found about the bracing and finish thickness affecting the sound quality. Made me continue my search for an honest guitar.
The fact that you puchased it and thus have no stake in exaggerating its merits but rather giving a straight up honest review has helped me make my decision, I think. Thanks much, and be well.
Hey Zack, thank you for this man, also I have a question for you. If I play country music would this guitar be better or the spruce version?
"My name is Zach." Either your family left just in time before being killed for being Jews, or your family were protestants who knew more about Jesus than the popes ever did. Just kidding, but I bet I am close to The Truth.
Thank you for this video. It is good!
Man, do try all kinds of strings. They are all good, but some are coated, some are not (Elixer is famous for their vintage sound, you should try those, Martin uses them as standard strings for good reasons) some are great for mahogony, some are great for cedar, it depends on the amount of nickel, and did you try flatwounds? Most important of all, is the sound YOU like. Just seen a good YouTube video on accoustic strings, from these Alamo shop guys, living in Texas. D'Addario has three or four flavours in accoustic strings. Phosphor bronze, 80/20 bronze and Bright is what I remember. Maybe there's another. There is definitely a difference in tone between fosfor and 80/20. I suggest you find that Alamo video, maybe they are competitors, but it is worth while watching them.
Enough talking. Again, thanks, I like this. They sold you a splendid guitar. Remember, all individual guitars are just a bit different, one can hit the jackpot or one can buy an okay guitar. Yours is not just okay. But you noticed. What I always do on not too expensive guitars is sanding down the top, in order to get better resonation. But for a 1000 dollar guitar, no thanks, the finish does a lot, too, and sanding might get an open poor sound, but what if you only think "poor sound"?! Better leave it as is, probably it will sound better growing older and played a lot.
Dang…lost me at "made somewhere in Asia"
I also tried D'Addario X (coated phosphor bronze) they indeed sounded very good and for quite longer than conventional strings of the same type but unlike what is written on the package, they do eventually fade. It took 7 or 8 months for oxidation to appear which in my book is quite a feat. As far as tone is concerned I still prefer John Pearse strings but they don't even last one third of the time of coated ones.
I own the Orangewood jumbo that I love! What are the strings type that you used?
Thanks man
The low end is not as prominent because it’s Mahogany. That wood emphasizes the mid range more. Still sounds good tho
Hit that like button as soon as I heard New American Classic lol
Just ordered this, I hope it lives up to the good review!
Love this review man! Thank you so much!
Great review. I think Orangewood owes you a freebie for spreading the gospel. I bought an Almost Perfect (B Stock) Brooklyn recently and love it. It's not the best sounding guitar but the build quality and playability are great. To me at sounds about as good as a Big Baby Taylor which iamazing for $241.00.
I agree bro…I own 3 Taylor guitars. And love them! But my Orangewood Ray s is amazing!
ok im watching this guitar video and i see the kid interrupt the video and i immediately liked the video, you seem like a great dad my dude
Thanks
Just bought this for my husband for Christmas! He’s wanted it since last year. ???? Honestly, I preferred the sound of the Oliver Live Mahogany, but this one was on his list. I think he’s going to love it! Thanks for your review! It helped just reiterate that I was making the right purchase. ????
-if you want to make it sound better.. convert it to an "open-pore"… YouTube a video, for how to remove the heavy finish off of it… you choose : remove it from the whole body, or at least.. remove it from the solid top… then, remove the plastic bridge pins, and install some quality wooden bridge pins !! BIGGER, RICHER TONE !!!
!!!!!The top should be solid. I just ordered one. The website says it is. Thanks for your video!!!!!
