What are your experiences with Orville / Orville by Gibson guitars? Share them! 👇
they play and feel amazing! especially the Fugijen ones.
im still torn between OBGs because they have the nashville bridge, yeah its USA buts its kinda lamer lol.
Had one of their Les Pauls many years ago. It was really well made and played great.
I have a 1991 Orville LPC-75 that is a fantastic instrument all round. You seem to get some killer tones out of these Les Pauls, great job.
Thanks a lot!
I've had an Orville LP Jr Double cut for 15 years and it's amazing.
Your first couple song choices for the demo are excellent, especially the Mad Season riff.
Thanks!
that faded color works with the rosewood
I've craved an Orville By Gibson LP for a few years. Finding the right 1 is hard
Start with a junior, they are all really solid!
@@Siggy_Sour I've just bought a 2019 Gibson LP Junior this week. Loving it so far
@@pauljmcmillan thats awesome i hear the new batch is great i wanna try a 2019- soon!
I've had two Orvilles, both made by Terada. I still have the white custom that looks very much like this one. Both guitars are outstanding examples of what was being produced in Japan during the 80's and 90's. And, as someone who's owned quite a few Gibsons and Epiphones, I can definitely say that they're much closer in all the right ways to Gibsons. Well made ones at that!
Almost bought an Orville explorer a few years back, I regret letting it go now.
Ohh no!
I have a set of humbuckers out of an Orville Les Paul I'm saving for a build I have in the works.
Lucky Like #13! Excellent explanation of the Orville origin and legacy! Quality content!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Orille and ObG are excellent guitars. I'm partial to the Fujigen factory, but my Terada's also kick ass.
it sounds fantastic!
Orville guitars were not intended for sale in the USA. They reproduced many classic models not available in the standard Gibson usa line at the time. Quality was as good or often better than the usa made guitars. I knew an independent broker/ dealer at that time and he had connections with Japanese collectors and he would deal with them to bring some of the japan-only models in..at the time he could get them for $250-300 and flip them quickly because the network of working musicians that were his regular clients ,realized how good they were. So they could keep their vintage gear safe at home and gig with the copies that were very close to the original vintage usa pieces. Most people couldnt tell the difference. Once the exchange rate on the yen became unfavorable he couldn't make any money on them as prices began to rise . But those who were wise, got them while they could. I got out of the market in the mid-90s so don't know how things developed from that point. Cool stuff. Thanks for the info!
Orville guitars are awesome, in my opinion they are almost comparable with Gibson guitars, as of today they are absolutely higher quality than Epiphanies for sure. Great video, thanks.
yes, from my experience they're far better than current Epiphones
@@DressedInBlack The Orvilles are getting quite expensive though, almost at the same level as a used Gibson Les Paul Standard I would say..
some ObGs came with 'proper' pickups, like the classic 57s (often the reissue LPs), while mine, a 93 FV-74 (flying v, terada made) i found out had TM490 pickups - medium output, but sort of shrill sounding like dirty fingers - so not really any pickups i've seen in use in the gibson usa lineup. i felt sorta-kinda taken a bit back by that, but i have guitars with classic 57s and the regular 490/498s so i can't be bothered to swap them.
bought the guitar for more than i could've gotten a gibson usa cherry V for, so the collector's premium thing is indeed true.
Old man learns new trick ! Now I have to go check my local music stores and online outlets for a new brand I’ve never heard of before , or at least never paid any attention to . Anyways , thanks for the info , I’m still trying to learn all I can . Now I’m wondering how many (if any) I’ve walked past and never paid any attention to .
That's the spirit! :) It's great to be the one to introduce you to something new and intriguing.
I got quilt top 96 Orville Les Paul last week and it’s my new favourite in my collection. Can you cover the 80’s Greco’s next?
96, exactly my year of birth 😅 If I manage to get my hands on any 80s Greco then for sure!
@@DressedInBlackI just got a crazy rare Orville by Gibson, I could have got a brand new Gibson. I’m glad I didn’t - it’s the best playing custom i have played by far and this top is super rare, it’s the pretty…. 1992, not in the Fujigen this time, terada factory i think. Soooo goooood
i liked the AIC licks mixed in there
Thanks, love playing them
👏 love it
thanks!
The Soundgarden / Alice in chains riffs are epic on that guitar! 🙏
It’s good for grunge riffs!
What is that Stone Temple pilots riff you snuck in? I recognized it but don't remember the name
@sethdoss8731 interstate love song!
@@DressedInBlack that's the one!
A Les Paul should always play The Darknes 👍
I agree! ☝️
kiedy kręcimy PGRa?
można to kiedyś zorganizować! :)
aged yellow guitars as the best!
love aged yellow! looks much better than clear white ;)
That guitar looks so cool
It does! And plays even better
