I saw them when they first came out and didn't get an immediate GAS for them. For that money I expected a carve top and exotic finishes, they look too much like a LP Junior with a bit of fancy paint and purfling. I can't see how they will compete with other established brands at that price.

I owned one of the strat copies and no glarry couldn’t compare maybe donner could though. I got it for 70 bucks at a used store. It was heavy as hell I’m assuming it was an alder body with a maple neck and if the trem block is anything to go on they were made in Korea. Tuning stability on that thing was amazing. I kinda wish I didn’t sell it. It also had alpha pots. Pickups sounded thin and crappy though, especially the bridge humbucker. Neck also had some figure to it. Over all a well built instrument. Still can find some here and there on the used market here in Japan.
Hey Austin, you need to check out CNC machines, all the inlays, cutting out the orange logo, it’s all done by computer controlled machines. In all honesty, that guitar could easily be made in a few man hours. I made a similar body to that, basically a single cut les paul junior, a set neck, all the woodwork took less than 30 hours, done with templates and a router table, so even being generous with design hours and programming it’s a rip of.
@@laurielenamond9969 I’m actually a violin maker, but I’ve made guitars for friends and for myself, I. Ok, not a master builder by any stretch. But that orange guitar is what we call in Scotland, chancin yer arm
A bit more info Trog. Fashioned from solid mahogany, the OE-1 is available in two-toned gold and ivory finish or a custom finish. It has an ebony fretboard, with 22 frets and has a custom 12” radius” fretboard. The headstock and body is completed with an eye-catching chessboard nitro binding. The guitar features a nickel, ABM, Kalamazoo, Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Stop Bar Tailpiece for easy adjustment and tuning stability. The OE-1 is fitted with Grover® tuners, four custom, turned brass control knobs and a robust three-way switchcraft toggle switch. A custom, clear pickguard pulls the total look and feel of the guitar together. The guitar will be supplied in a Hiscox hard case.
What?! Gretsch pro line is made in Japan and top notch. Not a synchromatic or electromatic that are like Epiphone vs Gibson USA. Obviously you're uninformed. This Orange is not worth $5k compared to a $2k Gretsch.
@@johnnystieferman6527 1) Their custom shop is made in USA. 2) Their middle to top of the line production guitars are made in Japan. If you think MIJ is no good, I can't help you there other than to say you're wrong. 3) Their lower level guitars are made in Indonesia and, yes, Korea. MIK for under $1000 is... not bad. Only Fender really offers better bang for buck on import guitars with the MIM series. I haven't met a MIM Fender I didn't like. I don't know of any made in USA guitars that are significantly under $1000.

I thought of Orange Micro Inc. They sold hardware add ons and upgrades for Apple ][ and Macintosh computers in the 80s and 90s. Let’s hear it for the Grappler+ card and interfacing with dot matrix printers 🖨 👍
The Mojo pickups are amazing. It is a guy called Marc who does them by hand in the UK. I got his P90s in one of my guitars and a gold foil in another. Nice work by Orange to find him and pick him out of the many custom pickup brands.
I actually like the zero fret. The fact that it was used by budget companies made some people see it as a trait of cheap guitars and it is a easy way to get a good nut action without much setup work but Gretsch used them on their top end Chet Atkins models at one point and my 1960 G6120 has a zero fret and the action is as low as you can possibly have without a buzz at the first fret. It works very well.
The first model looks like a cross between a strange Les Paul and a Rick Turner guitar like Lindsey Buckingham used to play. The 2nd reminds me of a Gibson solid body ES335. The Orange bass has a cool vintage / dorky look to it. I'd be interested to hear how it sounds.
I honestly really want one of those Orange Les Paul Special copies... The 55-77 Special is my favorite Les Paul variant and with that orange finish, orange inlays, the black knobs and white headstock veneer, it's really giving me like a true vintage Airline or Supro vibe which I absolutely love. Even with the bolt on neck which I am not a fan of at all. Sucks that they want so much for them tho. I'm punching the air rn for never knowing these existed when they were sold new back in the day. Hopefully one eventually shows up on Reverb closer to what they originally cost. As for the Custom Shop for $6K? Eh, Idk. Orange doesn't really have the pristege as a guitar manufacturer to warrant that high of a price lol
@@krisfoster5878 I play a mustang, no problem with neckdive lmao. I was thinking about picking one up used at some point and doing something goofy for a pickup set like 2 scpb pickups in series or something dumb like that. Good to know it's solid though.
I saw a few protos a while ago. Cheaper to buy a traditional guitar. Waste of time. Build quality is good - but not worth the price they are asking in the UK.
I want one in that classic Orange orange, doubly so if the paint isn't paint. It should be done in the material that Orange covers amps with. They could poly over it. That would be neato torpedo. Without, it might work if one doesn't mind a bit of irritation on the forearm.
Orange have and still make and sell the Orange O Bass. For 5 years they have has a healthy underground following. ZZ Sounds in the U.S. sells them for $450.00 USD. My bass player has an American Jazz and an American P. Bass and an American Musicman Sting Ray and the Orange O. All get equal time!!! In short it is so damn good that it does not sound out of place against the others in our 3 piece Prog Metal band. The sucker can remove the back wall of a club and shake your drink off the table!

I remember seeing 2 Boss guitars around 1987, my first guitar teacher had a blue one, and I saw a red white and blue one in a repair shop, both superstrats. Never could solve the mystery of what those were, never saw them again.

Which pickup are you talking about, the bridge or neck? The neck pickup is indeed slightly off angle. The bridge pickup is most likely straight as the Tuno-matic Bridges are always installed on an angle with the treble side utilizing a slightly shorter scale length due to smaller string diameters.
@@paultrombetta I didn’t mean to insult you, I’m sure you’ve seen it happen before with high-end instruments. I noticed the neck pickup slightly off and didn’t know if that was what you noticed.

I noticed that that bridge wasn't centered with that v paint scheme. I hope that for that kind of money, it would be centered up evenly. I get that that was the prototype, but that looks like a lack of attention to detail right there to me.

i'm bettin we'll see on of those new Oranges in a review + demo soon enough hahha
I bet it’s got Chime 😂😂😂🍊😎👍Ade Emsley is the guy that designs the modern Orange 🍊 Amps.
...in the past I think they may have been linked with Dan Armstrong? ...that headstock is reminiscent
I like the headstock. Reminds me of the 3x3 toothpaste charvel headstock
Only shipping to the UK right now, so you’d have to pay someone to buy and ship it to you if you’re not in the UK.
Nothing about the Orange custom shop model says $5.3 K to me... Pass.
Reminds me of the Pignose guitars they made
Love the Orange brand, I only use their amps exclusively. Would love to get my hands on the guitars and basses.
My go to has been an OR120 from the mid-70's since I picked it up off an old bandmate 30 yrs ago & I've used a TT in the house for the last 20 yrs (my missus banned the OR after too many complaints from too many neighbours lol). For me, they're the best amps on the market.
