Orangewood Guitars
hi there.. please tell the factories location of this nodel.. is it in los angeles ???
@@oregonfloor5113 They are made in Indonesia and inspected/setup in California. I'm very curious about Orangewood guitars and doing lots of research on whether getting one or saving for something like a Taylor 214.
The force is strong with this one.
I have an Oliver and love it. This new model sounds great. Orangewood is just a great player friendly company.
The neck position sounds so subtle and beautiful
Sounds fantastic. Wonderful playing as always Darrell!
Thanks!

I’m going to need you to watch the movie “August Rush” and play some of those guitar solos. Also, you missed an opportunity to play the intro of “I Remember You” by Skid Row. 🤘🏾Rock on, brother!
I got this guitar today without the pickup in it and have to say I'm really impressed with it. I can play it as easy as my electric guitars and the action is awesome. I tried some songs I have some issues with my other acoustic and it was so much easier to play. I already tried it recording on one my songs and it sat so well in the mix without any eq adjustments. I want to try it with my regular stings because I find the Ernie balls 80/20 a little bright compared to Phosphor bronze. I think this company is legit and considering the price I paid $580 a hell of a bargin. Anyone got any questions just ask me be glad to try to help. Also I've been playing over 30 years and done tons of studio work so I'm not just a beginner.
How would you compare this one to a Taylor 114ce, for example? I recently bought one and found the action quite high (which of course I could get adjusted), plus I just wasn't super crazy about the tone. I'm thinking of switching to the Sage.
@@bradydyson65 I haven't played a Taylor in a long time but I was never really too impressed with the ones I played. The sage impressed me. One of the easiest acoustic guitars I've ever played. Doesn't feel too much different than my electric guitars far as action. Construction seems to be top notch and for the price is hard to beat.
Hi Tom, I've been an Ibanez electric fan for many years primarily because of their neck shape. I have relatively small hands and prefer a thin neck. Would you be so kind as to comment of your experience with the neck shape.
@@Shadowcruise99 it's not as thin as Ibanez guitars. I'd say more like a fender neck. Feels close to my strats. Feels great to me but I personally don't like Ibanez guitar necks.
@@ATCH1 I get it Tom, Ibanez isn't everyone's cup of tea. Thanks for the reply.
Thank you orangewood for making very price accessible guitars. Got mine in the last month and have been inspired. Oliver was great, the Brooklyn really did it for me. Sage may be my next upgrade down the road.
MAN!!! That thing sounds GORGEOUS!!!! I WANT ONE, I WANT ONE!!! Thanks for putting this up Darrell!!!
don't get suckerd in by this form of advertising
philipb shut up
For the hardware and woods used on this guitar, that is an absolutely amazing price. You've convinced me I need to look into these... Great content as usual brother!
Orangewood Guitars are beautiful and well built, what more could you want and at a great price too!
The control you were using isn’t for a bridge or neck position. It’s a blend between the L.R. Baggs Element undersaddle piezo and the Tru-Mic microphone that’s on the soundboard. When you roll it all the way back towards the bridge it’s using only the Element, when rolled towards the neck all the way it’s using only the microphone.
Middle position sounds perfect, very well balanced.
An acoustic guitar like no other? This thing is beautiful
Yes, the Sage is $645.00 WITHOUT electronics. Conversely, the Sage Live is $945.00. A Sage WITH electronics. Thus, the guitar you beautifully demonstrated was the Sage Live. Good work otherwise. Thank you.
I can attest. Orangewood guitars are extra special. For the money, they just can't be beat! I bought an Echo Live over a year ago, and I play it all the time. It's a winner!
Pretty much made up my mind. Orangewood will definitely be my next acoustic. Unbelievable.
The crazy thing is I live about 15-20 minutes away from Orangewood, and their guitars are in the hands of one of my favorite Canadians.
I build guitars and its mind boggling that they can make all solid wood with ebony AND with the LR Baggs for that price. The wood would be at least 300
$645.00 for the Sage
$945.00 for the Sage Live (includes the L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup system)
That's a good deal. The Anthem pickup is $300 to buy separate. So, free installation!
what's the difference in sage and sage live? which is better ??
@@binaylimbu5721 sage has no pickup, sage live has the athem pickup
that is a steal
Update:: 12/16/2020: price has increased $50 each. Sage and Sage Live Respectively priced at $695 and $995.
Sounds like Page’s guitar on early Zep albums. Very nice tone and pickups. Thanks for sharing, brother!
She sounds absolutely amazing, especially at that price point. I really enjoyed your playing in this vid.
Orangewood is one my favorite brands. The value proposition is basically unmatched. I have their Morgan Live in Mahogany and it is a blast to play. I hope to spring for one of the Highland Series one of these days! :)
I would love to learn that first lick...it just sounds amazing and truly made for acoustics...
That guitar looks and sounds amazing.
However, you make everything that you play sound amazing, so it's hard to tell :)
Great review as always.
Can’t wait to be able to get them outside the US.
I could always be wrong, but I think I detect a little Keaggy influence in your playing. Nice.
Dude what do you expect he’s a Canadian Jew!!!
Right?? I was totally going to say the same thing.
In general, I prefer the sound(s) of an acoustic to those from an electric, but they're larger and bulkier than I like as a player, so I have both types. Amplification highlights the differences between the two - each has its weak areas sonically. This Orangewood looks solidly-built, and it sounds great, at least with that preamp. Nice demo, Darrell!
This seems like a really good guitar. Tempting.
Wow it seems like everybody loves this guitar including me
The guitar he has there is actually $945 because it has the pre-amp in it. There is a version of that guitar that comes without the preamp that is $645 though.
Well that feels like a bait and switch.
I've never seen such a drastic price difference just for the addition of electronics.
@@josephsantana3094 it's an LR Baggs Anthem. Those cost $300. So basically you're getting that with free installation.
@@DragonTalkShow So would that be much higher quality than if you were to use a mic or as the other guy said, "slap a fishman on"?
Right the sage live.
A two by four with strings would sound good when you can play like that! Can't wait for my orangewood to arrive.
Only 645?!?! Wifey might kill me. Might not. Based on this review, I will roll the dice.
I bought this guitar based on this review, It arrived very well set up, I had to tune it, intonation and action as good as you could ask for, My big issue is this guitar is feather-light, If this is a solid wood guitar the wood is paper-thin, If you put a fan in front of it would blow away.
The lightness is to it's benefit. Some of the best luthiers in the world will tell you that they essentially build with "minimally adequate structure"(that's a direct quote from William Cumpiano, one of the best luthiers in the business). As a general rule, the more wood in the guitar, the heavier the guitar, the less capacity the strings have to vibrate the top. It does make it a more delicate instrument, but it will sound a thousand times better.
That concerns me. Very thin wood needs to be babied (proper humidity) or it could crack.
Its probably lighter because the baked torrefied top would be lighter as it has all the moisture taken out. The back and sides as well were likely dried very well adding to the lightness.
@@Crev1729 How much moisture could have been in the top a 16th of an ounce? this thing is a full one pound lighter than anything else its size, It's a beautiful playing guitar and I have zero regrets about buying it.
Think I’m gonna get myself this for Christmas !🎄 Appreciate your look at this brand. 👍
We are seeing the dawn of a new age for guitars and players.
Makers like Orangewood, Harley Benton, Wolf Guitars are already
raising the bar for what we can expect in a 'budget' price range.
Right now the re-sale market does not recognize these brands
which provides some protection for the Epiphone, Squier, Jackson
etc lines but they are already behind the curve in price vs performance.
this guitar sounds amazing. The playing is also very good too! Thanks for the video, helps a lot!
The neck on the Orangewood Sage is silky smooth!
I swear everytime I watch your vids it makes me want to pick up my guitar
I broke that code a while ago. Now I always have a guitar in my hands when I watch his videos. ; )
I hope they make a 12-string someday.
Sometime after you've gotten settled in your new place, could you consider doing a video comparing the laminate top acoustics to the solid ones? It would be nice to hear them head-to-head to really begin to understand what makes solid tonewood "premium". Thanks for all you do to make me a better player.
Well they did hahaha
Solid top vs laminate top comparisons have been done a thousand times. There is no comparison. Solid wood sounds better almost every single time. And anyone who has played both will almost always prefer solid to laminate.
Great video.
Love your playing and that's a beautiful guitar.
Sound is sweet.
Great tone from a great playing 👍 this guitar looks gorgeous, with herringbones lines. I expect nitrocellulose finish ? I would be interested in a comparison with Ibanez/Yamaha which are in the same range of quality but slightly more expensive , and a comparison with Martin/Taylor of same specs but costing 5 times more. Too bad these Orangewood do not ship to France.
Have the Oliver Mahogany and it sounds best fingerstyle and loses some clarity with a pick. This didn't have that problem and it may be my next acoustic. Been patiently waiting for them to be released for reviews. Great playing!
This is a general question. Why does everyone talk about a 2 or 3 piece solid body electric ? As a woodworker the 3 piece would be more stable and of course more so with the flame maple top glued on. Same with the multi piece neck. That neck thru electric I watched you do was absolutely Beautiful ! If I remember correctly, a PRS or Schecter
Because of this video just got mine today
That headstock looks amazing tuners and all. When I get good enough on my cheap guitar I might buy myself one of these.
BEAUTIFUL guitar... especially considering the price!
It’s not the instrument that makes the man but the man that makes the instrument.
Thanks DB!
Really appreciate the demo thanks
Darrell! PLEASE! I would love to see an Orangewood Hudson versus Martin D18 comparison. Thanks.
I was hoping to see you get the Ava or Hudson since Marty Schwartz got the Sage, but great video, I love Orangewood.
Amazing demonstrations for the tone and playability man. The guitar itself sounds perfect along with the preamp. It actually sounds like something to rival Taylor made guitars
Sounds great and priced right! God bless and rock on 👍🎸😎
I just received my Hudson live today been messing with it for an hour or so what a great playing and sounding guitar satin finish on the neck is a lil sticky which will be easily remedied and strings could use a lil lube another easy fix I am very pleased with this thing well worth the money fit and finish is excellent set up right out the box and was still in tune deff a keeper
In the superficial world, we live in maybe some added design logo to the headstock to denote the higher price point. I'm sure some would like the world to know they paid more for their Orangewood guitar.
That's one of my only complaints. The Orangewood logo is pretty lame. :-( It looks like an old font you'd see on a t-shirt from the 70's.
Sounds really strong enough to be a 12 string! Really deep tone for a 6 string, which is awesome! Great work here man!
Thanks!
@@DarrellBraunGuitar You're welcome my man!
Great review and good playing men 👏🌹🦊
sweet sound. Thanks for the video.
Yes! I've whined a bit about your demos of guitars not sounding like a guitar(too much overdrive/distortion/fuzz) and even your "clean" tones sounded overdriven but this is a GUITAR sound! Thanks for this and I'm impressed by your finger-picking, too. Anyway, good channel and nice playing.
Wow I love it, I wish I would have waited a few months, I pulled the trigger on the Mason live cutaway w/spruce top, it's a nice guitar but having the solid body and the LR Baggs electronics it sounds amazing. I still like the inlays on mine better though. As always your playing is phenomenal.
With the anthem system you're right at about $1000.00. Well worth it for this upgrade. Beautiful guitar.
Amazing sounds!
Very nice, and that price isn't too shabby!
Great review...
How about a review of the new Hotone Omni AC acoustic simulator?
you will have to wait until someone sends him a free one
Sweet sound, thanks mate!
This guitar sounds like rosewood, at least from this youtube video. I used to own a Santa Cruz OM/PW and I remember its sound, so I could not believe that this was mahogany. Amazing sound from this guitar, with the cutaway and the electronics. I am interested.
Sounds like a pretty lyrical, resonant guitar--great for solo guitar. But I was wondering if it would be a decent accompaniment guitar as well. Also, I wonder if you were using any effects? - What a great guitar though; super great value! And so pretty.
I don't have $645 but beautiful sounds beyond it cause was played so nice. You are a lucky guy having both.
Sounds fantastic So cool :)
Halo person
thanks INDEED dar!. wish i could find a SUPERB affordable tool like this!.
Darrell, it would be easier to evaluate without the verb (and any compression or EQ you may have added). It sound great, but verb tends to makes everything sound a bit greater than it is.
The sage live is getting up there in price (Sage Live). PRS has a super acoustic electronic right there at the same price. And it is a PRS. And theirs blows the orange away.
The Anthem preamp is definitely not cheap, but it sounds unreal 👍
I've just played a PRS acoustic in-store but it was quite nice too.
PRS is laminate back/sides vs the Sage all solid. Did you play both and did the PRS really sound better?
Man that's a beautiful guitar
Great playing guitar I want one
I officially quit guitar my little sawtooth can't handle even the slightest bit of distortion and whenever I start saving for another one something comes up thanks for the inspiration to start guitar though I will forever be thankful
You are an amazing guitar player,,,can you tell us a little about your background leading you up to this point?
Me too?
I mean me too!
I don't have much experience with acoustics the affordable ones, affordable to my means, always seem a real slog to play, Especially down at the nut! But after watching this I guess I need to take another look, it's been more than a decade, s**t I'm startin to feel old! The pickup has some amazing sounds to boot! Thanks once again for the wide variety of products you cover, it really keeps me in the know! Keep em coming Darrell, it's always in tune!!!
Wow! I love it.
I’m hoping for a sale. I bought the Echo when it first came out and it’s the only guitar that I pick up everyday. I actually use it to write metal riffs.
KidsOnALeash OnABoat if you haven’t bought one yet you can wait till the end of the year and they have a sale on their popular guitars or you can use code: MARTYSFRIENDS10 for 10% of all purchases
Woow cool! Coincidence I got my Taylor this week...but has 6 strings more!..👍
Very beautiful tones!
Man, please, could you explain a little more about these both neck and middle "pickups"? Very curious about it!
Rafael Lara Melo it’s the Mic blend. It’s a system of a piezo and an internal mic. Bridge is all piezo, neck is all mic.
Do a video on Orangewood OLIVER vs Orangewood Sage
Sounds beautiful! What kind of strings do you use on your acoustics?
Daniel Myers They use Ernie Ball Mediums 54-12
Good demo, but we really miss the naked, non-pickup tone. While I can put a headphone on in my right ear and might be able to detect it that way, the crosstalk can be a bit problematic when evaluating this. Mic it up for us?
gotta get one !
Hey Darrel! Totally off-topic from this video (although that Orangewood sounds SUBLIME!), I've the last couple of weeks had a good grand and a half pounds burning in my pocket and I've been absolutely scouring the internet for the absolute most bang I can get from the 'entry-level' high end range of guitars. I, whilst browsing, often thought of which 5 guitars you would pick for under 1500£ - could this be a future video perhaps? You've given us so many cool guitars to learn about, but rarely have I seen you hunting for anything when you have a specific economic number in mind!
Cheers from Denmark!
Take a look at Relish Guitars.
Hey Darrell, would you mind telling me what strings you're using in this video?
Actually, I would love for you to make a full series on strings (acoustic and\or electric), I don't think any other youtuber would be able to do it with the precision and fairness that are typical of your comparisons, and I feel like it would be extremely useful to understand a little bit more about what's probably the less discussed component of a guitar.
And it's not available yet on their website. But it will be $945.00 "coming soon"
At least you didn't compare it to a
Taylor with Elixir strings like some of the other idiots online. You get 90 points for that. Orangewood uses Ernie balls which is like night and day compared to elixirs. It has the goods at a great price. I'd like to play one in person. Intonation sounds good...at least on that one. How's the set up...relief amount? String height at 12th fret.
Hi Darrell love the channel. I watch for the playing as much as the review. Are you playing in standard tuning? Or an alternate tuning?
damn.. that tone gave me wood!
A tonewood
Can you get orangewood in Canada? Thx
You have a prettier tone than other reviews of the same gear. Is that natural reverb of your room? Or your mic maybe? Or do you add vst reverb?
Hi Darrel- I'm curious how you were able to get one of these. I contacted Orangewood and they said they are unable to ship to Canada. I'm willing to pay shipping but they won't do it.
Anthem steals the show but how does it sound unplugged. How does it compare to a Martin unplugged. Also, only 1 year warranty- wonder how it will hold up long term. Probably bolt on neck too vs. glued (better usually.)
Fretboard Radius please? Thank you.
Like SO MANY of their other guitars, this one is also not available (July 2, 2020).
I would add, though, that the Sage Live, with solid wood and torrified spruce top, is $995.
*$1,045
@@Kpapa91 $1075 (2024)
Vc é uma das pessoas q fazer esse mundo melhor... 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
Nice guitar, but truthfully, i'd rather have Grover sealed tuners on it. I really don't like open gear tuners except on classical guitars and vintage parlor guitars. L.R. Baggs Anthem was a great addition.
Ummmm...Wow? Sounds amazing!
On a high end guitar I would have loved some more interesting inlays. at least blocks should do, I th]ink dots are ugly unless theyre like on a guitar that has that vibe like fenders or gibson juniors.
