Marty, last June I purchased a Morgan Mahogany Acoustic Electric. When it arrived it had a slight buzz when the higher frets (especially low E) were played. Being new to playing I didn't think much of it. Unfortunately as time went on the buzz got really bad and got to the point where the guitar was basically unplayable. I took it to a guitar tech who informed me the neck was twisted. I contacted Orangewood and explained what was going on. They replied with some recommendations (adjust the truss rod), that didn't work. I got back with them and told them their recommendations didn't solve the problem. So here's the cool part. They offered to replace my guitar! I wanted to share this with you because I think it's important for people to know that in my opinion, this is a top notch company, that is willing to make things right with their customers. On a side note, thanks for doing what you do! Your videos have taught me a lot!
My guitar fits just right . The only problem I have with it. Is I don't know how to play High Hopes by Pink Floyd. If only there was a teacher out there somewhere ?
I have a Fender CF-60 and a Little Martin Lxk2. Even though the Martin is a good deal smaller than the Fender, it packs a much warmer/fuller tone. I love them both but I’d have to say, the Little Martin takes the cake for me.
Ya I bought an orange wood acoustic on Amazon a couple 3 months ago. Their gig bags are really nice for a real cash friendly guitar. I like the robust tone.
I bought a Brooklyn a few months back. I absolutely love it, I probably play it for 3 or 4 hours every day. I love orange wood as a company and i highly recommend any of their guitars.
I have a hand-me-down acoustic Sigma from my mama, but I have been wanting a smaller acoustic for awhile now. I am seriously gonna look into getting one of these Oliver Jr.'s, I am diggin the size/look/tone/playability.
Well Marty you convinced me pal. I’ve been putting off buying a new acoustic for 2 years. Just bought the JR thru the link in your description and for only $195?!?! If I don’t like the JR I’ll just buy the big boy and have 2!!! Also just wanna say thanks, I’ve only been playing for 3 years now and I’ve learned most of what I know from YOU. I love your acoustic blues vids. 👍🤙
I was going to buy a used mini Taylor, but somebody took it first. Not too sad but they're lovely guitars, they sound very spicy! Thanks for the review!
I really wish there was a side by side comparison of the oliver Jr and a taylor GS mini. Taylor GS mini is likely the best mini guitar you can buy and this seems to be a competitor of a similar shape. 500 with electronics for the taylor vs 300 with electronics for the Orangewood. Are they comparable?
I really enjoy my Jr (hahaha, no jokes please). I like that the scale is pretty much the same as the sweet short scale Fender Electrics that are becoming readily available. So if you like those Fenders, you might really like the feel of the Jr......and they do sound great
Really nice guitars and great idea to cut out the middle man and ship straight to the customer. Unfortunately I don't think they are available outside the USA yet?
Size matters to me. Wanted a second axe, bought the standard Oliver on a black friday sale. Although I enjoy it, it can't compare to the timbre and dynamics of my big ass dreadnought.
How to transition between a small one and a normal sized one? I have the former and I'm confused because the tutorials(tabs) I watch are using a normal sized one
Great guitars, but how many oranges had to die to make these Orangewood guitars? Doesn't anybody care about the oranges??? Please teach Gallows Pole and Whiskey in the Jar.
It's ok. They used older orangewood trees who were past their prime. The had retired from orange production years ago, and would of been placed in an old tree pasture had the opportunity to become wood for guitars mot given them a new lease on life, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Bigger guitars tend to have more low-end. But that also means that smaller guitars accentuate the high-end. A medium-sized guitar is of course balanced. Different players, and listeners, will want different things. I personally prefer more high-end, but I own a big guitar, so if I ever get a second one, it’ll probably be small.
Orangewood is really doing a marketing blitz. A couple of your guitar guru brethren are also hyping this guitar company. They sound great. Nest time i'm in the market for an acoustic..........? Kevin
I've never touched an Orangewood guitar in my life, but every time I see one I think "man that looks comfortable to play". And take it from someone with one guitar with finger-slicingly high action and another that's just right - comfort is VITAL in a guitar.
I can't help but think I need one of these Oliver Mahoganys... of course it helps that every guitar RUclipsr that I respect has gotten one for free and demoed it.
Hey Marty I learn a lot from you and I mind either way but shouldn’t you say if you’re getting compensated by Orangewood? Are they giving you the guitars?
I give up guitar, I can’t even stretch more than 3 frets, my fingers mute the strings behind it, and I can’t pick and finger chords at the same time, I can’t even bend right, i just flat out suck, no matter how many videos i watch, things i do, i just can’t do it, i need like expert help, i know I’m only 12, but i got my guitar when i was 8
I'm 20 and my pinky is only 4.5 cm. Although there are times that I'm frustrated because of my tiny hands but I'm not planning yo give up. Not yet, not now
イチカIchika Update: a year and a half later, i have figured out the kinks and am able to play songs like Waking The Demon by Bullet For My Valentine, solo included, All New Materials & Scarlet by Periphery, Skyline by ERRA, Stricken by Disturbed, solo included, Most Killswitch Engage songs, if they have a solo, then yes that too, etc. i did not expect to improve this fast over such a short amount of time, i practice for at least 4 hours a day, and I’m constantly improving, currently i am 14 years old and I don’t plan to stop ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘
hey lol i’m 14 rn, would u recommend a 3/4 size acoustic or 4/4? i’ve never played an acoustic guitar but i’ve been playing a bass guitar for a while yet i have small hands and i’ve been stressing over getting a 3/4 or 4/4 bc of it☠️

Im glad someone else in the world at least knows that whole album. Aka The division bell
Finally, another Pink Floyd fan who doesn't just like the 60s and 70s stuff (says the guy with the Animals icon)
Have you ever considered the fact that Pink Floyd Sucks?

I own an orangewood oliver and when I can sit down and relax with the thing it sounds absolutely stunning

I think of guitarist from the 20s-40s. They played small body guitars and were awesome.
People were way smaller back then
Small ones are easy to use but professionally the bigger ones support you more. I have learned a great deal form your lessons keep on rockin'
marty's gotten so much better at editing

Orangewood: Best budget guitar
Harley Benton in my opinion 😁
Yamaha in my opinion
Orangewood is good and very affordable but sadly their logo font is like a kindergarten toy i really wish they rebrand their logo lol
@@FikriIzzaldin
Their logo looks fine to me.
No matter what your girlfriend says, Marty. Size always matters! ;-)
Probe Raum yes. Your paycheck. Especially if your married.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
and boyfriends too
On circumaural headphones, the larger guitar had WAY more low-end than the Jr.
Today I’d go with the junior. It sounds great! Plus I’m just 11. I have a Martin D Jr now. But later I’d go BIG!!! 🙋🏻♂️
That mini does indeed pack a punch
I bought a Brooklyn a few months back. I absolutely love it, I probably play it for 3 or 4 hours every day. I love orange wood as a company and i highly recommend any of their guitars.
Also they REALLY sound beautiful if you change out thise strings for elixer phosphor bronze

more bass
You sound like my ex 😐

Hey Marty can you make more Foo Fighters song tutorials please
anytime you work the little hand or foot in the video makes me chuckle haha

Yep, ordered my Oliver Jr. yesterday and it is supposed to be delivered late this week. Im pretty excited to get it!
I’m getting a 25 inch guitar next Monday 😂
I have a vintage 100N Baby Travel guitar I love it for on the move.
Haha! I was looking EXACTLY for a video like this that compared the two sizes. That's amazing.
Hey Marty, thank you for the full vs mini guitar demo comparison. Now we have to have guitar envy 😀
I really wish there was a side by side comparison of the oliver Jr and a taylor GS mini. Taylor GS mini is likely the best mini guitar you can buy and this seems to be a competitor of a similar shape. 500 with electronics for the taylor vs 300 with electronics for the Orangewood. Are they comparable?
captainvlog I'd love to see this too. Also where are you seeing 500 for a gs mini with electronics? They're usually 500 without.
@@ernestryles sorry, it looks like you're correct. They are 500 without, so the real cost comparison is 500 vs 200.
I really enjoy my Jr (hahaha, no jokes please). I like that the scale is pretty much the same as the sweet short scale Fender Electrics that are becoming readily available. So if you like those Fenders, you might really like the feel of the Jr......and they do sound great
Can you do a video of the Oliver Jr. live model? Wondering about the pickup and how it sounds. Thanks!
Purchased the Oliver and I absolutely love it
please do some brushy one string!!! ❤
I have the orangewood Echo I love it.
1:02 lol for a second I thought he said "these are set up in orange California at the ford dealership"
Really nice guitars and great idea to cut out the middle man and ship straight to the customer. Unfortunately I don't think they are available outside the USA yet?
we can seel at you'r face that you prefer the large one, and i agree with you !
Please do a review on the fender mini stratocaster!!

Definitely like the sound of the bigger guitar better. Little one sounds tinny to me
I have the Dana which is the same size as the Jr. I love it. Great for a beginner.
Good to know about, my sister has been wanting to learn guitar. 👍
Way to dodge that copyright! 👍🤪
Freakin beautifully made!
Mariachi behemoths not withstanding. Marty Rocks!!

@@dwaggs7037 I feel better now that I know this, every orange tree can have a future as a guitar.
i am 35, zero experience with guitar.. I am going to start with 3/4.. what you think?
If Orangewood would produce a 12 fret version of the JR! Oh my what a Blues Guitar you would have then!
Ey I don’t if u can play (no one knows ) the would be really helpful for me and it one of the best riffs
Hey Marty. Request for a song. Can you please do either One by Metallica or Walk by Pantera
another metalhead? cool
@@moistness482 yes sir. Long live metal
Love ya Marty, thanks for being my teacher over the last few months
I take a Washburn rover on holidays it cost me about 80 pounds but plays beautifully nd sounds awesome too .I prefer it to my £300 full sized takamine

Dame that intro is so cool with memes😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You should check the AMI guitars (Sigma). Really affordable and a great bang for the buck!
I have a half size guitar and it kind of just sucks for me cause i have big hands so i can only fit 2 fingers on 1 fret so a minor is possible
Marty you are awsome! Keep up the great work
Marty that sound demo sounds a lot like....Marshall Tucker Band if you ask me. I'm still trying to master Can't You See

What is better , orangewood oliver MAHOGHANY or ibanez pc12Mh-opn MAHOGHANY???
Does the fact that they are professionally set up before you receive them factor in to the price at all, or is it just part of their service?
hey marty! Would you like to do some Pixies lessons?
Editing game getting better for my guy marteiiiii.
they are really beautiful
I have a 3/4 Fender Squier guitar and I see nothing wrong with it.
what are the name of the songs you played? it sounds really nice but i don t know the name. can anyone help me with that:)?
Those are gorgeous guitars, man!
What mic are you using for the guitars?
Sounds good.
Im curious how people are getting freebies from Orangewood guitars and how do i get my freebee

PLS MAKE A TUTORIAL OF THE SONG --> Breaking on Someone's Home by Joe Bonamassa
The jr sounds more project. But the M sounds fuller and

how does the jr compare to the Taylor GS mini in regard to quality and tone?
Hey Marty im not sure if metal is your thing but could you please teach me dimebag's solo from domination? Love your videos.
