    CORRECTION TO THIS VIDEO:
    The Juniper is all-solid spruce top on these models. Only the back and sides are laminate.
    - The light is from the binding and not a crack or seam. The glue that is used is clear and is allowing the light to shine through. The light is only found around the braces, so there are no construction concerns with that.

    Say whatever you want about the tone but Orangewood really listens to their audience and it's really refreshing, versus some companies that just live off of legacy and tradition

    Really cool looking little guitar. Not to exited about the acoustic sound but plugged in sounds kind of weird and cool.

  • @anthonyb2334
    @anthonyb2334 5 месяцев назад +1

    I agree it is a cool looking guitar and trust you about the quality of build. When I play a parlor guitar it’s almost never amped up, so I need something that has adequate decent acoustic sound, compared to other parlors. So, is it better or equal to a Gretsch or Alvarez small body?
    Price is good but the sound doesn’t do it for me. Thank you

    @chrisgannon4221 3 месяца назад

    I'm sold, that is a very soulful guitar and would be awesome thru effects and loopers. I'm impressed, however I'd do something about that 60 cycle hum. Ground the metal bridge to the output jack. Once you've mastered the concepts are understood behind this guitar it'll be a winner.

    For that money, you could get a Jim Dandy, a cheap pickup, and a piece of rubber to replace the saddle, and still have lots of cash left over. And, you can swap it back to a hard saddle anytime you get tired of the rubber bridge thing.

    • @RByrne
      @RByrne 28 дней назад

      That's exactly what I did, and have a great sound rubber bridge parlor for $200cad. Gretsch actually just came out with the Deltoluxe now. It's $100 cheaper than this, looks better and is built better. It's got a great pickup, so just throw some flatwounds on it and some rubber. A good alternative to making a rubber bridge is using a tennis racket string spacer. It fits perfect and sounds exactly the same for $13.

  • @FDNY8231
    @FDNY8231 5 месяцев назад +1

    Says SOLID Spruce on the website under features, but has a layered Sapele Back & Sides ... Not exactly something I would own as I like mine dreadnought sized. It is a nice guitar for the price though.

  • @davidrose8068
    @davidrose8068 5 месяцев назад +1

    I've got one of the all plywood Dirty 30s 000s, and I don't know if I'd agree that it feels like a toy. They're very, very lightweight, and they sound really, really, cheap and boxy, but "cheap, nasty, catalog guitar" is the vibe they're going for, and it pulls it off in spades while still holding up and, after a proper setup, intonating and playing as nicely as any of my other acoustics.
    My first guitar was an actual catalog guitar, a Stella acoustic that my parents bought from the Sears catalog when I was 8 or 9 years old (that was still a thing in the 90s).. It was more of a guitar shaped object than a real musical instrument, but I don't think I would deign to call it a toy. Calling it a toy implies that it was fun to use, and that'd be a real stretch. Looking back, now, it was truly horrific with precious little in the way of redeeming qualities past the pretty, sunburst finish.

    It is a fun looking and sounding guitar. If not for my wife...
    I will keep my search for a decent resonator and hope I gain her approval. I do have what I need and more.
    I think that on the acoustic side, mahogany, rosewood and maple are proper to have. Dreadnought, 00 and a jumbo would be nice. Adirondack, sitja,cedar and all hog (I have this covered except the maple). A resonator a😂maybe a 12 string.
    I, personally could live with my D-18GE and CEO 7 a decent resonator and sell the rest (perhaps buy a 000 16 Streetmaster for a rosewood).I might sell all the electric guitars and amps...

    Thumpy antique sound? It’s rubb-ish 😂. Put a small piece of foam between the top and the strings and you get the same effect, a trick from the famous Paco de Lucia, I trick I use when the kids are sleeping.

  • @grene1955
    @grene1955 5 месяцев назад

    Sounds like a nylon string guitar... that's not really a bad thing of course, but it's different. I disagree about the output jack. My guitars that have the jack through the end pin means no strap locks, and very hard to get guitar straps to stay seated.

    • @JeremySheppard

      I think so too. You can convert any guitar to a rubber bridge but can't convert some of these back.

    Thanks Jeremy. I am never buying or reccomending an Orangewood again. 2 bad out of 5 purchased is not good. Much better Eastman guitars for similar price. Resale on Orangewood guitars is BAD and 4 out of those 5 didn't sound good. They are inexpensive and not properly set up.

    SOUNDS HORRIBLE ACOUSTICALLY. Better plugged in. Sounds like rubber bands on a box. Is it the rubber bridge?

    • @RByrne
      @RByrne 28 дней назад

      Yeah. It's supposed to sound like a muted guitar. The rubber bridge deadens the strings. It sounds best through an amp with a bit of tremolo or Reverb.

    This is the first video Jeremy's done where I'm thinking - is he hearing what we are? This guitar sounds like a Keith Urban 'learn guitar in 30 days' special, without the accompanying DVD course. Who cares how well-made it is, if it sounds like complete cr*p -= and it does.
