Orangewood's BEAUTIFUL, UNDER $400 Stage Ready Acoustic

[@_thomas1031]

Orange wood is such a great guitar maker🙌

[@orangewoodguitars]

Mason Live is a great pick, Max! Thanks for adding another Orangewood to your collection 🤘

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

You bet!

[@Peasmouldia]

There has to have been someone who watched Max for the first time here, and not knowing his extraordinary guitar ability, got to the cowboy chords bit about 6mins in and thought "don't know why this guy has all those shred guitars..." Ta Max.

[@lostreb]

his might seem trite to some, but for me (since I'm right at 85% finger-style on acoustics, and most would anticipate on electrics) it's a huge bonus that Orangewood "includes" the pick guard standalone so you can use it if you want, and if you don't, you aren't stuck with a pick guard when you do not want one!! While my next purchases will probably be acoustic guitars (unless there is an unexpected electric release that grabs my attention), this information is extremely helpful and very informative. Based on what I've seen from you, and one other review, I'm thinking Orangewood is making great quality guitars at a very reasonable price. Another Great Review, Max!!! Please keep the quality videos coming...

[@Jackie_Rosewood]

What a beautiful guitar. It’s looks great both inside and out. Awesome review Max🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@edblakemore5729]

I have 3 Orangewood guitars. Great bang for the buck and a good company to deal with.

[@naeemimrit5460]

Beautiful sound 😍

[@sunnytaufiq07]

The interior looks neat.... Cool

[@BlazeGuitarLessons]

I love it when you review acoustic guitars! More please! Also, I love the budget on this one.

[@swankypuppet9313]

There is a all solid wood Harley Benton for 355$ I think he would do an excellent review of it

[@BlazeGuitarLessons]

@@swankypuppet9313 I'd love to see that review!

[@azcharlie2009]

I bought an Orangewood Echo Live a couple years ago. The best $350 I've ever spent. Now i wonder if I should pop for one of their higher end models. Then, I ran across the D'Angelico Excel Tammany. For $800, I don't know how you can do better. But, I do like the Orangewood look. The D'A is a little gaudy? maybe? I'd like a 000 type to compliment the dreadnought the Echo.

[@alexander_winston]

@azcharlie… I have a D’A Grammercy excel acoustic guitar, and I gotta say, I don’t love it. If you like 000, I have one of those Martin’s they make in Mexico….around $500, and it is superb.

[@azcharlie2009]

@@alexander_winston The 000 I'd like to have is the Martin 000-28 modern deluxe. But, it's $4K dollars!!! Don't know anything about the Grammercy, but the Tammany sounded really good on Sheppard's review. But, I don't think you can go too wrong with Orangewood. For the money, anyway... There is something about the necks on them.... Just a little wider than most.

[@alexander_winston]

@@azcharlie2009 oh man I’m SO jealous! I’d like that Martin but I can’t justify that price tag.

[@ericbgordon1575]

That guitar is pretty awesome, but the demo actually made me suddenly eager to try doing an acoustic rendition of Survivor's "Everlasting".

[@GutshankMetallian]

Thanks for the review, Max! It's a shame they won't ship to Europe. I've wanted to buy an Orangewood guitar for the longest time, no luck, sadly. Guys! You are missing out on a large market across the pond!

[@reggiemurphy1523]

I have the Oliver live and I love it!! Great video as usual!

[@bobhenderson9357]

Hello there, Yes I have two orangewood guitars. One is the echo and the other is the 12 string electrical. You are spot on with your review because the action is really low and it's easy to play. I love them both and I also have a Yamaha FG830 but the action is kind of high on that and I always gravitate towards the orangewood. Thank you for your review! Eventually when I get a lot better I wouldn't mind getting a tailor. I was looking at the 214 CE. The action is pretty low on that one also plays nice.

[@BB-sn6yr]

I bought one just like that one. One of my favorite acoustic the price and quality is awesome. Just ordered the Ava Torrified Spruce can’t wait to get it. Love your videos Max!!

[@supercraig2009]

Model number please? Assuming comes in Dreadnought?

[@pritchettdan]

More acoustics, please.

[@mburtondavis]

I like the strap button placement.

[@gloraditch6915]

Just bought an Echo Live dreadnaught of this model. Thanks...you convinced me!

[@frankb518]

Nice cover on this Orangewood! That Is really nice for the Tag Price! I Play Both myself. More Acoustic than Electric. I've only had one Acoustic for the last 25 years. A Washburn that I bought used for about $300. And I would say ,that Orangewood has a little better Tonality to it!

[@jrcarchive1932]

The thing with the C shape necks is, they give kind of that country twang a bit better.

[@russsmith488]

I have a Brooklyn spruce live with a fishman flex plus T electronics, I bought it used but it's in brand new condition, looks unplayed. I have spent the kast few days looking it over and playing ut, I have to say the fit and finish are perfect, I can't find one thing negative about this guitar, fir the money you can't buy a better guitar, IMHO, I've had lots if guitars , cheap to expensive and thus blows my mind how this can be so good for so cheap, I will buy another Orangewood soon just because it's too good to pass up, telling all my guitar buds about this so they can get in on the deal before the word gets out and the price goes up..

[@jonathanstrand2474]

Amazing how much dryer it sounds direct, & slightly muted hi end, but good definition on the notes either way, my Revstar has a thicker neck I’d bet, so would an old Gibson double cut. You may like a shred neckish shape, but that one looks like a relatively shallow C, not flat on the back.

[@mmccartney6579]

On the close-up at around the 3: 06 mark, it looks like the rosette has come loose. Good review anyway, Max. Cheers! :)

[@jimcrowell5093]

I have 2 Orangewoods an Echo live sunburst and a Mason classical both are excellent guitars may opt out for one of their 12 strings🤷

[@Living_EDventures]

Great review! Just ordered one.

[@mannyfragoza9652]

beautiful guitar and sounds great for the money

[@cowlevelcrypto2346]

Just to try out the Brand I bought a Rey Mahogany (no electronics). Very thin top for a laminate. Well set up. UPS did not do it any favors, the shipping box was crushed down to the shape of the guitar. Luckily the gig bag protected it. Most of the components were pretty cheap on this version, but better than I expected for a $145 dollar guitar. The guitar appears to have no shipping damage, however there is one problem with this model that I see several complaints about online. Possibly due to the thin laminate top, or it could just be a bad bracing glue job, but I have had this only one month and I am noticing a Belly bulge just below the bridge. I am afraid that eventually I win loose a hand when the bridge pops off. :( I really like the new Mason Mahogany Live, even though it is one of the few that is Not price discounted for the upcoming Black Friday, but the bridge on the Rey Mahogany has me concerned about that part of the build quality. : /

[@g_man2177]

Great shout out to Dave Meniketti. Wish him good health after his surgery due to his bout of early stage of prostate cancer back in February.

[@rumpledskin7971]

Wanted a bit more engrossed playing from someone like Maxxxwell Carlisle. Anyway, good review.

[@williammead9966]

Good informative review

[@hughmoss9884]

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger.....but maybe not a Mason, probably a Sage ...Hey Maxx, what's your favorite breakfast when you go camping, eggs and beef with bread, or oatmeal ?

[@codyroberts8324]

man!! gotta get me one. The Tak I have sux

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Why do some CF Martins sell for $75,000 ? Insane and Rediculous

[@strangeuniverse1199]

The only Martin I own is a S1 Mexican made ukulele. I should have bought this solid mahogany Martin dreadnought acoustic I was looking at 21 years ago instead of all these Chinese acoustics I own now.

[@keithsmith9889]

It's good looking sounds good. Biggest gig bag I have ever seen lol

[@gregburke7131]

What brand of onboard electronics are those? $300 sounds like a bargain! Are you touring with the Misfits this summer?

[@franciscoalcala1766]

Muy buen trabajo mis más sinceras felicitaciones te envío un saludo cordial desde la ciudad de Mexico Alcaldía Venustiano Carranza

[@johnsee7269]

Workmanship or craftsmanship seems much better than the sound of it. May have something to do with the way it was recorded. Just my thought. Beautiful fit and finish.

[@robertpurdy4452]

Nice review on an affordable acoustic.

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Thanks!

[@tjstevens001]

Very nice!

[@StevieZero]

It's beautiful

[@explorer430]

What Model Orangewood is this?

[@MatthewCuda]

I love the orangewoods but they need to shave those braces down more for maximum resonance

[@chrislocke1042]

Great looking guitar.. but you didn't do the smell test

[@markdelacruz1322]

Sold! I'll take two. Just kidding

[@spikedodson3194]

👏👏👏

[@waynzwhirled6181]

Pretty good review, but in my opinion you can't demo an acoustic guitar without some fingerstyle playing.

[@leskobrandon4666]

BRINGING MY SONG TO THE PEOPLE??? 🤣🤣

[@CaptainAmerykah1911]

That is a nice guitar however I like the mahogany one better

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Yes, I like the mahogany one as well. It also has built in electronics... but no tuner.

[@Bflatest]

Good deal needs more low end

[@rhodes7394]

Looks great, but doesn't sound great. That's the conundrum of the budget guitar.

[@MikeDragonborn]

The natural tones sounded good but the lined in sounded like dookie. Nice guitar though. Great vid man

[@adamporter3601]

They just do what zager did.

[@davidestela2328]

Please stop saying this guitar is less than four hundred dollars because it cost more than that to buy

[@georged822]

Well currently it's $400 so he's correct saying it's about $400... And he said it's under that possibly only on SALES

[@SteveEdinger]

all my martins arrived in tune... its a horrible bad thing! lol

[@terryenglish7132]

Acoustics even more than Electric need to be played kn person. Sound quality varies more. This one isn't great sounding, maybe a mic / piezo mix would be more 3 D

[@sv2935]

You play electric mostly so I'll let you slide on the "stage ready" title, needs to be mic or d.i. box with effects to give it the acoustics back, piezos do nothing for me. I do like orangewood brand, bought my son and daughter both one, and the sound after the guitar opens up (by playing and leaving near sound sources like speakers) is surprising and much better than expected.

[@soulgamblers]

And it sounds like a cheap guitar!!!!!!!! Get a Firefly for way less!

[@strangeuniverse1199]

Wow, those Firefly acoustics look nice and are cheap to buy also.

[@soulgamblers]

POS

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

They sent me a used one as new, with a visibly damaged case and horribly pitted frets (probably because they use cheap Chinese pot metal). And it was there top of the line solid wood guitar. They took it back and refunded me, but had nothing to say about the shit they sent me. Take your chances if you want, but for me, F this company. Garbage.
