Indonesia is known for their artisans so it's heartening to know that Orangewood and Sire have recognized this and have been producing top-notch value guitars for several years now. Phil, you are an excellent reviewer - knowledgeable, thorough and personable. All the best to you man.
Some of the best fretwork in the industry is coming out of Indonesia right now IMHO.
Zager guitars are made in Indonesia as well.
My Revel audiophile speaks made in Indonesia... superb fit and finishing 👌
I bought a mahogany Orangewood with the Fishman preamp right after lockdown for about $230, and the build quality blew me away. Usually cheap guitars sound like garbage when you amplify them, but my guitar sounds like an acoustic. I'm glad you did this review to turn more people onto this company
I have two orangewood guitars. I have the Oliver Mahogany and the Brooklyn….both are amazing. They both came perfectly setup. I have more expensive acoustics and I grab these the most. Anyone that has played them at my house are always amazed especially when I tell them the cost. Great guitars!
That guitar sounds great. If they're pulling that kind of quality consistently, then I can see why this is an instant recommend.
It is an instant recommend. My came just as Phil states in this video, right down to a couple of loose tuning keys. I've had my Oliver Jr. Mahogany since December 2021. I feel so lucky to have gotten such a great instrument for an affordable price.
Wow Phil, 95 degrees! It's awesome what you do for us. It's greatly appreciated!!
😅
It's remarkable
My first acoustic was an Orangewood. Sold it a year later for the $200 I purchased it for. It was a great starter. They are sold out of many models.
I watched this video when I went to bed and before I turned out the light I had purchased this guitar. On sale currently, no tax and free shipping. It's the morning now and no regrets!
Thanks for this. I've been wanting an acoustic electric guitar for a long time. Perhaps at this price point the banker in my house will agree to it. Hopefully it's available in Canada.
That sounds absolutely phenomenal both unplugged and with the pickup.
I never really thought that solid wood mattered much on acoustics until I spent the money and bought a Taylor 327e. I have played more affordable laminated wood guitars that were great guitars for the money but as soon as I strummed my Taylor I could hear the difference.
Great review - answered every possible question that needs to be asked and some neat playing.
I have an Orangewood that I bought years ago and it has been absolutely incredible. The company is awesome and really puts out the best guitar possible for the price. I’m about to order another one soon. They have so many options now.

Orangewood's are really great for the price but I feel the Yamaha 800 series beats them in playability and tone quality and only cost around $200 or a bit less themselves. Not taking anything away from Orangewood though. Recording King has some nice guitars also that are supposed to be a lot less costly clones of Martin D18 or D28. They won't come anywhere near the actual amazing tone quality of the real thing but they are nice even though much more than the $200-$300 price range these other guitars we mentioned. They are the Recording King RD318 and RD328 respectively if you want to look more into them.
@@gamersinger5118 i own a recording king and the only thing i will say negative about it is the nut buzzes just a bit. easy enough to fix with a small rubber band lol
Orangewood keeps knocking it out of the park. Thanks Phil, I really appreciate the deep dive on this
SOLD! I have been looking and looking at acoustic electrics for a couple of months with no luck. This was checking box after box so I just up and bought one. 15% off and free shipping. Can't wait. Thanks Phil!
Sounds like a pretty decent entry level instrument for the price.
I don‘t like these rubberized tuning pegs. After a few years they became very sticky
Watched video and pulled the trigger. Hope mine is set up as good as Phillips. Sounded great! Thanks for the detailed, informative review. The neck portion is really what sold me.
My time is always well spent watching your video's. I've absorbed a wealth of knowledge from you over the years and do all my own set-ups and upgrades using what I learned from your video's. That guitar looks & sounds amazing for the price point, in fact, it looks like it could rival guitars costing twice as much. Great video, thanks again.
Great timing on this video. I’ve been driving myself nuts (which I have a tendency to do) researching acoustics. Your super-educated opinion is valuable to me, so this Orangewood may be the winner.
Nice! I was just looking into Orangewood guitars, so this is helpful.
Nice "product placements" (polish etc) and practical application of Music Nomad products. So much better than a hard sell or "infomurcial" approach.
Hope they appreciate your approach :) :)
I've been flirting with the idea of getting an acoustic and this one looks great and sounds great and it did pretty well on the deep dive! I came back to show this video some love after watching Friday's stream, i love the deep dives and please keep them up!
Thanks for the review. I purchased the same guitar a few months ago and have nothing but good things to say about it. Just an outstanding guitar and especially at the $295 price point!!
Your videos are amazing! After your review I placed my order. I'm happy to report that it arrived today and the guitar is amazing. Now if only I could make it sound like you do! Thank you for the great videos. It's really like hanging out with a good friend and just talking guitars. You keep talking and playing and I'll keep listening.
Great playing, always inspiring.
Sounds damn good for that price point!
I just bought this same guitar last month and I totally agree with everything you’re saying
very nice review Phil. have a nice weekend
I'm actually in the market for a decent acoustic -electric. This one is now definitely at the top of the 'possible list'. Great review!
It is the perfect "sure you can play my guitar" guitar, which we all need - I had an Orangewood, and it was great out of the box, as well
Great review and thank you from Scotland
Great tip in the diy humidifier phil! You should occasionally gather these little nuggets into a best of video or something
Thank you for shining a light
Great Review. I agree with your comments about the nice equilibrium in Quality ando price it has
Good job, especially that last riff.
Sounds great and not bad in the looks department.
This would a good addition to any player's collection.
This is a excellent channel with an excellent spokesperson. 😉 \m/
Excellent review. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
Thank you Phillip for your videos. They are honest and informative.
Awesome review, more acoustic reviews please.
Thanks for the homemade humidifier tips. Always worrying about that with my acoustic Still put the Music Nomad in my cart seems easier, have the packets that you put in soundhole. Love the tone on the Orange wood
Phillip I bought one after your review, I love it. Got it fast, came in perfect, sounds great, plays great, no issue's with this one. Thanks for what you do!
Great deep dive. Please continue doing videos like this. I also purchased this guitar and referenced your video when asked how I heard about the Orangewood company. It arrived safely and was just like the one in your video. Keep up the good work keeping these companies honest. The guitar met my expectations based on their website and your deep dive review.
Wow. This is quite an encouraging rave. I went to their site, and it’s very helpful and well organized and informative.
Great review, cheers!
I recently spotted an Orangewood in a local pawnshop and out of curiosity I wanted to play it because you and other reviewers have indicated how good these play and sound..you are SPOT ON. These sound and play so well it simply stunned me that it could sound bright and warm at the same time. I’ve noticed how good it sounds in a live setting and has become my “go-to” guitar.
Wow, what timing I have been searching for a low-cost travel guitar. And had no reference for Orangwood this would be perfect and with that review being so helpful. If I decide to get one I will report to you my findings. Your UA-cam videos are very informative. Thanks for your work and sacrifice sweating it out for us!🙂
Thanks Phil! Another great review!.
I'm not really a lover of acoustic guitars, but I would like to have one again at some point; based on this, Orangewood is gonna be at the top of my list. Of course I've heard of Orangewood before, and heard great things, but your opinion means more to me than others I've heard.
I had an Orangewood Ava and LOVED it! I only sold it when I ordered myself a Martin 00-18! Very similar guitars!
Thanks for the video...i have this guitar in my cart right now...cheers !
I just ordered my second Orangewood today! I love the Oliver so much, I had to pick up the Oliver Jr. for traveling. Can't beat that quality, especially for the value.
I’ve been considering an Orangewood. I believe your review convinced me to go ahead and get one.
Well done video. Thanks for the education.
Great video as always Phil. I'll definitely be picking one of these up sometime soon!
excellent review!...... thank you!
Great review as usual. I was lucky enough to pick up a Mahogony model of this guitar as a B Stock for $206 and it too sounds great. I have owned three other Orangewood guitars that while sounding good don't have the punch that the Morgan does. The sound is definately bigger and more resonate than the others.
Thanks for putting an acoustic review up!
I was a bit skeptical of Orangewood for a while until I had a student come into my class with his. Instantly blown away at the quality for the price point! I still want a Martin but one of these will satisfy the acoustic itch until I can get one!!!
Most excellent review! You are very honest & easy to listen to. That is a lovely guitar! Not sure where I’d find one in UK but I’m sure gonna look! Thankyou! 👍
Another great video. I have the same gold top shirt from yrs ago. Wear it all the time. Thanks for what you do!!🤘
Thanks for loading. This video
It sounds amazing for the money ✌🏼🏴
Looking in Thailand for this model
🌈✌🏼
Just received my orangewood acoustic today and it def was not set up like the one Phil received. The neck is nowhere near straight, it was not close to being in tune, the nut is cut waaaay too high, and there is a spot on the fretboard at the first fret that looks like it was scuffed and painted over but not sanded. The fret ends are good and no sharp ends. The look of the guitar looks great other than the unsanded paint. I expect to do a set up on almost any guitar I buy no matter the price so I am not complaining, just wanted to comment so Phil had some feedback. Based on the guitar I received and the review you did I would venture a guess they did cherry pick your guitar and made sure to set it up to perfection.
Great review, Phil! You are my first source in honest guitar reviews. Cheers man!!
👍👍 I like the sound, didn't think I was going to 😀
Sounds so beautiful. I just ordered the Morgan mahogany today and I really can’t wait to get it. This was such a great review. That guitar looks to amazing craftsmanship and a gorgeous sound
Impressive!!! Good for Orangewood!!!
Very impressive -- thanks for the review, Phil! :)
Awesome review of an awesome guitar ❤
Only question I have is about the rosette: is it a sticker or is it a real sound hole protector?
Thanks. Love what you do here😊
Nice job on the demo.
Fellow Desert Dweller and Big fan of the channel. I think I currently have 5 or 6 acoustics. Saw a review Mary Spender did on an Orangewood and I settled on the Morgan Mahogany Live and ordered it because I didn't have a Mahogany. On arrival, I was blown away on the attention to detail from the fretwork, the neck, the beauty of the instrument, the packaging, the definitely deluxe padded gig bag, the rubberized keys, the sound both acoustic and amplified with the Fishman. I love this guitar. If I had to whittle the selection down to one all around guitar, regardless of price point, I'd pick the Orangewood for the sheer fun and and beauty of the instrument. It's definitely an instrument you're going to pick up and play all the time. It wins on fit, form and function. If your looking for a reasonably priced all around acoustic electric... This is the guitar to keep. If you know a student that needs a great guitar to learn on...This is it. They'll want to keep it a lifetime. Spring for the Orangewood accessory pack. It's reasonably priced and a good value.
I bought an Orangewood (Oliver Jr. Mahogany) on Black Friday 2021 and it showed up just like your Morgan did...
...in tune right out of the padded deluxe gigbag/box
...action was hecka low and *not* buzzy
...frets were so smooth I had to check them twice to make sure lol (kinda like you did!)
...rubber tops of tunning keys def have good feel to them but a couple of them are "loose"
...fret board edges were def rolled
...PLUS everything they send is *so useful* in the intro pack (a few picks, pick dispenser, the little tuner is a gem & so tiny!!)
I feel so spoiled. This was the first guitar I ever purchased new and online and it has been great.
I don't need another acoustic guitar, but the next one I buy will very likely be from Orangewood again. Great people who clearly take pride in their product.
Sounds crisp and clean. I like bright sounds on acoustic.
Great review of a very nice guitar. Sounds great- specs great. Its not too far away from my ( more expensive) Alvarez guitar but if anything happened to it, this Orangewood would be a great choice. (Not sure they are available in the UK yet though?)
Hi, I have an Orangewood Echo, basically the same approach as your Morgan. It is 4 years old, and was received setup exactly as you described on your Morgan. This guitar plays so easily, it has shifted me from an electric hollow body to acoustic. player. This guitar is perfectly stable, and the setup has remained as received. All I do is keep it in its gig bag when not playing. So impressive. Though I do have a Taylor as well, and love it, my Orangewood Echo is very stable and playable.
Sounds great !
Great review. I just gave my friend the FSX800e. I wish I would ahve seen this prior to buying that one. Thank you
It sounds great Phil.
You are welcome to my time. I in turn feel well educated by your expert opinion. Fair, unbiased, experienced. I'm equally grateful to be a subscriber and wish 640K more for your channel. Also, an episode or two ago I learned you had your own music shop, and then Guitar Center happened. I have a wish. My own efforts to be as strong and persevering as yours. Maybe not as much to offer, but the love of the craft, the instrument and it's players and music, that, as you have, I can share as well. Looking forward to your next episode! Sam Hatman
Great video, Phil. Orangewood has been a consistently strong value for multiple years now. I've had an all-solid Ava Mahogany for several years that punches above it's weight class. When I bought it, I tried to find something I didn't like and just couldn't. Any level of player can find a use for an Orangewood in their arsenal, IMO.
Hi Phil. Hope you are well! Love your channel. I just ordered this guitar on Friday. I'm really hoping they didn't cherry-pick the guitar they sent to you. It should arrive by Friday. I will let you know what I think. I was so happy when I saw you were doing a deep dive on this guitar. Keep up the awesome work you do!!
I’ve had a Orangewood Oliver Mahogany for 2years now, and a Yamaha APX600. For some reason I keep going to the Orangewood to practice???
The guitar is $150 less but plays fantastically. Kudos Orangewood!!!
very impressive , Great Sounding Acoustic
Nice crisp sound
Thanks Phil. I just tried a used one at Guitar Center & I was impressed!
Hi Phil, fantastic deep dive review, what a lovely unique instrument for anyone. Why wouldn’t you want to buy a guitar that comes to you without issues & is a joy to play. Cheers ✌️🎸
Dude this video was awesome
Just wanted to say thank you for the Orangewood recommendation. I patiently waited until the Morgan Mahogany Live Burst was restocked. It finally arrived, and I love it!
Awesome! I am not a fan of scarf joints in the neck but I would consider buying this guitar! Great price but the way it sounds is awesome! Maybe its Phil's playing but that sounds great!
Gotta admire your honesty, Phil!
I have owned 4 Orangewood guitars and have loved each one of them!
I used your code and ordered one
I love my Orangewood Ava Mahogany Guitar, really brilliant. This company knows what they are doing.
Where I live I need a dehumidifier to maintain humidity. I have 3 Orangewoods and love them. 12 string, baritone and concert model with torrified top. I am going to get an Oliver Jr Mahogany
Love my Orangewoods. Great playing guitars that I’m not afraid to take with me anywhere. Given a few as gifts as well.
Great help great videos I appreciate your efforts. I have several guitars recent years added thanks to you and now my own tiny channel to play them on. So thank you hugely..for the help and fun
WOW... I just put this into the Orangewood cart and then had second thoughts... I am going back and ordering it, especially because it is 15% off as well. Thank you so much Sir...
Orangewood has been sold-out of this model for a while now. I found one locally with factory gig bag for about 30% of retail. Thank you for introducing me to this brand, my Morgan Live is a joy to hear and play.
We’re not tired of you buddy
If I knew it sounded like that one, I would buy one ! Thanks for the video !
I needed a reason to buy a new acoustic and I think I am sold! What a great price point; I've been watching other reviews and overall the opinion seems to be the same. Great review, Phillip!
