- Ever heard of Orangewood Guitars?
Me neither. But I got lucky :)
Orangewood sent me a couple of guitars to check out, and boy am I glad they did. There's nothing worse than hearing about a new guitar that you can't find anywhere to play.
So, in today's episode of Acoustic Tuesday, I'm going to give you the juicy details on Orangwood guitars, plus, hear a fingerstyle guitarist who's into odd-meter timing and discover NV Tone's UPGRADED DI and Internal Mic.

Tony that was me the got Orangewood to reach out to you back when I was a Tac member. I contacted them, told them all about Acoustic Tuesday and suggested they send you a guitar to test drive.
I’m so glad they did and I’m happy to see you liked the guitar. I think they are a great company and I now own 4 of their guitars.
Nice! Great show as always! Tuning in from Singapore! ;)
I'm learning! thank you for the lessons. I am really enjoying it. addicting. I'd have a drink with you but i swore it off until my friends local artist backyard concert and after show jam this weekend. i was getting to the point of not getting excited about such things. 1 week of TAC and fret board wizardry, after all these years of half ass occasional noodling, and I'm already feeling more confident and relaxed. once again thank you and I'm glad I made the decision. this is not a paid advertisement.
Awesome episode Tony and Noah 😊 Maneli Jamal and Andrew York sounded great together. I got to check out more. Thanks for the recommendation 👍
Amos Lee! Tony, Noah, Crew, well done this week! My wife and I catch Amos whenever he comes near NY. Just recently streamed his RedRocks show. Keep it up y’all!
First time watching. A friend of mine has an Orangewood and LOVES it! Balcones fan, huh? Awesome Texas Whisky!
I had an orangewood but gave it away to two young kids that are learning to play. But while I had it i was quite impressed by it, especially how well it played / sounded for the price. Incredible guitar to start on.
(btw Clapton hands down)
i got my lowden strings from heartbreaker guitars and i CANNOT WAIT to try them out! thanks so much, tony - and heartbreaker!
What ever happened to you traveling to your Studio for the right sound, but I love ❤️ the authenticity of seeing rooms of your house while in your Blackhawks PJ’s!
Greetings again Tony and Noah. I have heard of Orangewood guitars a while ago, and as a nerd for entry level instruments, they peeked my interest. I have yet to play one, but i do hope to have one in my guitarsenal.
Piqued
Hell of a whiskey on your desk. Cheers!
I moved from Spokane Washington a few years ago!!! Next time you visit, go to Vallyford Wa, its 30 minutes outside of the city! There is this really pretty hiking spot that is up a small mountain that we used to call big rock!
Would love to try the Lowden strings on my S&P Woodland mini jumbo. Great show, always enjoy. Thanks!
Hey guys, love your shows & just subscribed to the channel. After 25+ years of playing, it's fun to discover new products, tips, techniques, and artists that I would have never heard without your videos. As to the debate of who Noah looks like, its Rachael Maddow of MSNBC. Sorry - I couldn't resist :)
Hey Tony, how about Texas Two Step? Thanks for featuring my Guitarsenal. By the way that's not my wife that's Jayne Henderson, Wayne's daughter who built my two Henderson guitars. We met when she came to Austin to deliver one of her amazing ukuleles to a customer. She's an amazing person and builder - you should definitely check her out!. I had to clear that up post haste to keep my actual wife from getting after me.
Great whisky! Awesome show in Amos...caught him at the renowned Red Rocks on Labor Day this year. And lastly... yeah. I got an Orangewood and am extremely pleased with the quality I got for the mere $175 I spent (Oliver Mahogany model just for picking around the house).
Not sure if I’m too late, but Heartbreaker, I would love those Lowden strings, and I would put them on my Eastman PCH.
Regarding the Sage: For me, as someone who doesn't know that much about high-end guitars and hasn't had the chance to play on them, it would have been really interesting to hear your thoughts on the limitations of this model. It seems like a super good value for the money, but what would you look for in a higher-end guitar that couldn't find in this one, especially in regards to tone and playability (rather than aesthetics)?
Also... how does this compare with a Taylor 114ce??
Thanks! You make the best acoustic vids!
I can't believe I watched the entire thing!!! I still remember the first time I saw Joni on the Ed Sullivan show.... I was blown away!! I've been a fan ever since.
I’m from Spokane! And this video made me happy.
I want the Lowden strings...they sound amazing!!!
cool its tuesday and a new show. thank you for this.
It really sounds so good!
Thank you Tony
Would love to try a set of those strings.
Guys if you emailed us by 10:30 am pacific time you are in. Sorry but if you haven't, all 24 sets of Lowden Strings are now spoken for! Thanks for participating. Hope you enjoy your strings!
Heah guys, wanted to say thanks to Tony for turning me on to the Andrew White freja 2002j giveaway. I cant believe I WON. Never won a thing in my 67 trs. Still working the fretboard wizard course. Cant wait to get that guitarhere. Got guitar 4 vets shirts for me and my girl, wanted to have the freja here so could send in picture with shirts and guitar.Thanx again been with you since episode 3 another great show.
Unboxed my new Andrew White Freja 100BV last night. I'm totally blown away by the sound of this instrument!
Hey Tony et al,
got a small in this week, on the let it go app I found an Epiphone AJ-100 for $48, I was going on a road trip and did not want to take my late fathers Crafter (the guitar I am learning on) so I figured if something happened to a $48 guitar it wouldn't hurt nearly as much as something happening to my Dad's. However the neck was severely bowed, over the next two days I slowly tightened the truss rod (Without your advice no way would have tried this on my own) now it plays wonderful, thank you for showing me that I could do this.
I have watched a number of reviews of the various Orangewood models, all have been very positive. I like the fact that they give back to the community and that they provide a quality product at an affordable price. Unfortunately, I need/prefer guitars with a wider nut and every model I looked at had a more or less average width. Still, they seem to be a great value and sound good.
Greetings from Kitchener, Ontario...home of maple syrup, Canadian Bacon and other tasty things!
Omg, omg, omg! Boucher represent! I have two (an OM & dread) and they're astounding!

Great strings. Hey Heartbreaker Guitars I'd love to try a set of those Lowden strings - Thanks
Lowden strings sound great...I would love to try them
Hey Heartbreaker Guitars, I'd love to try the new strings.
thanx tony im getting the electro one next week ill let you know how i get on
Yo I would love to try these strings out!
I play an acoustic a friend made... nobody notices it because it's a plain looking OM sized guitar.
It blows me away, and is so inspirational to play... it's hard to put down.
The Orangewood sounds wonderful. Will check the spec's... l like wide necks...
"Hey, Noah!" "What, Tony?" "I’m NOT as think as you drunk I am..."
Heartbreaker send me those Lowden strings! Sounds great!
Greetings from Edmond, Oklahoma! Big fan of your channel and I was wondering about the artist and song at 2:23 ?
I bought an Echo Live last nov 2019, I'm loving it so far.
I am planning to buy it, just started learning and I haven't played much but just watching youtube reviews I loved this one don't know why. I am in India and have no idea how to get an authentic one here :|
Thnx for sharing...
I'm in ! Putting on a Epiphone DR500-MCE Masterbilt series.
Like the tone on those Lowden strings hope it's not too late to put them on my Martin
Tony you are turning into the next Hogwart's principal 🧙🏻♂️
Love your channel. Can you do a review on Ranch guitars
I'm sorry you had to visit Spokane. I live here and I'm going unvisit soon.
Hey guys, Mark from Bloomington Il here. An observation I made is Slash has a 12, where Eric is 'playing' a 6. Carry on.
Hi Nancy from Germantown, Md love this show so much getting ready to practice for the day. Which I watch copy down notes and then play. Which I want get a group together from Maryland all we need to do is FaceTime plus beginners. So hint hint Maryland players we can be in the first stages to play.
Oh and by the way... a couple of you lucky listeners also got a set of Elixir's as well. Thanks for being a part of Acoustic Tuesday!!
#need2know what tune TP is picking on the Orangewood at at 4:09. We need a tutorial on that in TAC. I think it would be really helpful to develop some more flatpicking finesse.
Yo! Heartbreaker Guitars, I would love a set of Lowden Strings, for my Jay Lichty Small Jumbo!
Watched Wednesday evening from Boston, Massachusetts. My #smallwin is getting bigger, as I've made it to 4th street with the trivia. Joni Mitchell's name just jumped out of my laptop speakers. Positively.
Scotch and bourbon - reminds me of the early days. You never quite knew what was going to happen and depending on whether it was a live show or not, you could tell how wild it would be by the amount of consumption. LOL
Can a Gibson sj100 be strung with 13-56 gauge strings tuned to normal tuning? Someone told me I'd slowly kill the top? I love how they sound and feel but I'm concerned about the long term damage I may be causing. Please help me with advice if you can.
Hi, would you say this is comparable in sound to a Martin GPC road serie?
as a viet vet I wish the program was around when I came home, it might have helped the bad days and sometimes worse nights.Guitars for vets is a very good thing.thanks for all you do
Amen Brother. Welcome home
I'm guessing Tony got a Lowden guitar from Heartbreaker Guitars in Las Vegas
Is there any connection between acoustic guitar love and love to tobacco pipes? I think this is right place to ask
/Not so small win; I’ve been playing Open Mics for the last few years, which are two songs per person. This summer, I decided to play all these songs out in the streets by coffee shops and restaurants. My repertoire is fingerstyle songs of Bossa Novas, Jazz and Popular arrangement. With the hat money, I bought a used Epiphone Acoustic to donate for Guitars for Vets(Canada). PLUS, I did a set up on the guitar, since I followed a course with a luthier
Gotta go with Clapton! He’s got that Woodstock looking outfit, playing the Guild with passion and the 60’s black and white pic looks very much like an album cover of an underrated album that Clapton produced! I love it
Hey Guys!
I know Fretboard Wizard is a 6 week course. Would the materials be available to me if I take longer than 6 weeks or if I want to go back to review some sections. Love the show!!
Peace & Sustain
Hey Chad! You'll own it for life and can review over and over :) But we hold the group "challenge" for six weeks.
Yo Heartbreaker Guitars, if there are any strings left, I would love to try a set!
Can you please tell us what the 8 buttons on the front of the mvtone are?
Show us a guitar case from Los Vegas, really. Other than that, 109 episodes that are great😎
Hey Tony. If you like the Sage model try the Echo. I had just bought a Martin . Or I would've bought an Echo. No fancy dancy middlemen
dealars. Direct from factory sales. But I've seen them hawked on the Zon and Flea Bay used.
Tony bought a PRS Acoustic . :-)
Curious, what strings come on the guitar?
But how is the action out of the box?
Hey wait a minute, your are my main advert
Hey Heartbreaker- send my strings:) love them!
Props for the Balcones.
If you are married you have a guitar purchase procedure!
Yo heartbreaker guitars! Send me some Lowden strings!!
On the Subject of guitar names. I have named my Guitar after all of the Girls from the Hammer Horror movies which I grew up. I have been lucky enough over the years to meet many of them. I was stuck for names as I am no longer married and really had no one I could think of to name them after so I named them after the Hammer girls ( which is also what I call my guitars collectively)
I have to try that malta whishy...
I’ve been a fan of yours Tony for a very long time when you first started I’ve been trying to get on that website for those reseller streams it is not happening I don’t know why thought I’d let you know in case you have an extra pair you can send me yours truly Guitar Man
5:45 when he said entry level i laughed so hard!
I mean they are only 350 bucks lol
@@tylerwilson7385 Not the sages, they are 600 without electronics and 900 with
Free strings on my Alvarez jumbo. Thanks Heartbreaker.
Nice to see Whitney .. Amos Lee sounds like a great concert.
OK so Tony, how does orangewood compare to Eastman?
Toby is my spirit animal
What is the name of the song at 2:32 ?
I have a Martin 1945 that a friend passed away and gave to me he heard me play one time and was could not believe the way I played I have not played in 30 years I am a old resident of Long Island New York so I would like to use them strings on that vintage acoustic it just doesn’t have that sound that I’m looking for so it’s sitting in the corner
I'd like a set of those Lowden strings
which orangewood guitar is he playing
I discovered Orangewood via a fantastic RUclips Guitarist -Dave Tran, an extremely talented Guitarist from Australia & seems like a heck of a super nice Guy. One night, RUclips was just playing via AutoFeed & in background. Suddenly I heard this Guitar that sounded SO great, so stopped to see who & what was playing. It was Dave Tran & he was playing this very pretty Orangewood. I Googled right away to OW Site & think I found which Guitar I was listening to - The Hudson (Not Torrefied). Listened more to some Demo's on there as I looked around and was Amazed at the Prices!
I had just purchased a Larrivee LV-10 3 wks ago (I'm in Love) & that was for a very specific purpose, so Price really wasn't a factor for that Buy. But it was odd that I didn't come across Orangewood when doing some background Research of Guitar Brands? Just didn't come across it until Dave Tran played one. No doubt I've got a wonderful Guitar with Larrivee Brand but they are a bit pricey for a Starter Guitar. Due to the great Combo of Orangewood,(Sound/$) I will definitely consider them for my Son just starting out. I was going to give him my old Martin SP000T16 but rethinking that now. Will have to find where I can try some out but Dave and those Demo's were super encouraging!
I have that same raven! He sits on my amp and I call him Reginald.
Have you ever tried Cort? Try Cort Gold A6... You'll be impressed...
I’m here for the Balcones
Apparently Cream’s “Dance the Night Away” had a 12 string
I'm wanting to know if they even compare to the Martin X series guitars as far as sound quality. I had a DX-1 years ago that I absolutely loved and sounded fantastic. It resonates so loud and beautifully. I got in a tight and sold it but I'm looking to get back to playing.
Orangewoods are going to sound better than the new Martin X series guitars. All be it the X series guitars look beautiful, they sound like a budget guitar being almost entirely HPL construction. You don't even get a real wood fingerboard. The only bad thing with the orangewoods is that they tend to be overbuilt with the bracing which hurts the bottom end.
@@fionncaomanac339 thanks for the info. I ended up breaking down and buying a Martin D-28. I'd always wanted a American made Martin. And the sound it produces is really hard to beat.
John V from Raleigh watching on a Saturday evening. I guess it's too late to ask for a free set of Louden strings?
I' ve heard of Orangewood guitars via internet. Any chance of Orangewood sending you the $200 model to review?
Hey Tony, if that orange wood is an intermediate guitar, how does it compare to a Taylor 214 or 314 ?
I unboxed my Orangewood yesterday. It is every bit as awesome as my Taylor GS-MiniE Ovangkol model. Considerably cheaper. And it's prettier, too!
Bob Davis thx bob. Which model did you get?
Yo Heartbreaker! Send us those strings!! Kidding... enjoy the strings folks!
I love Orangewood
I’ll try an orangewood if you can think of something that rhymes with it.
Is it intermediate in terms of price? Or intermediate in terms of sound and playability? How does it compare to say a standard Martin D28
Oh come on man. Nothing compares to a Martin D 28. Maybe a 000-28 because I’m biased.
@@algomez04 id rather have a Martin D-28 but Martin doesnt have a patent as far as.i know on their sound or design, anyone can make a guitar with the same dimensions and bracing etc. But what makes a
Martin D-28 or HD-28 so different from other guitars made the same way???
And yes im aware of the different tone woods and bracing(forward or rear shifted, scalloped etc.) But there companies doing the exact same thing at cheaper prices because of China or because of machinary etc.
Isn't that Jane Henderson in the picture in the guitarsinal with Rick?
Correct, that is Jayne. She built both of my EJ Henderson's. Great builder and an even better person. However, she is definitely not my wife. Glad I got that cleared up before I got in trouble. :}
There is a great story about her in the Fretboard Journal #39.
I see you like good Texas whiskey. :)
