CORRECTION TO THIS VIDEO: The Juniper is all-solid spruce top on these models. Only the back and sides are laminate. - The light is from the binding and not a crack or seam. The glue that is used is clear and is allowing the light to shine through. The light is only found around the braces, so there are no construction concerns with that.
Say whatever you want about the tone but Orangewood really listens to their audience and it's really refreshing, versus some companies that just live off of legacy and tradition
Says SOLID Spruce on the website under features, but has a layered Sapele Back & Sides ... Not exactly something I would own as I like mine dreadnought sized. It is a nice guitar for the price though.
Just ordered it! I have a Epiphone J45 Studio (Solid Top) with a Wireless Pickup, that sounds amazing on its own and in an amp, together with this Juniper I am basicly set with wound options!
I agree it is a cool looking guitar and trust you about the quality of build. When I play a parlor guitar it’s almost never amped up, so I need something that has adequate decent acoustic sound, compared to other parlors. So, is it better or equal to a Gretsch or Alvarez small body? Price is good but the sound doesn’t do it for me. Thank you
I'm sold, that is a very soulful guitar and would be awesome thru effects and loopers. I'm impressed, however I'd do something about that 60 cycle hum. Ground the metal bridge to the output jack. Once you've mastered the concepts are understood behind this guitar it'll be a winner.
I've got one of the all plywood Dirty 30s 000s, and I don't know if I'd agree that it feels like a toy. They're very, very lightweight, and they sound really, really, cheap and boxy, but "cheap, nasty, catalog guitar" is the vibe they're going for, and it pulls it off in spades while still holding up and, after a proper setup, intonating and playing as nicely as any of my other acoustics. My first guitar was an actual catalog guitar, a Stella acoustic that my parents bought from the Sears catalog when I was 8 or 9 years old (that was still a thing in the 90s).. It was more of a guitar shaped object than a real musical instrument, but I don't think I would deign to call it a toy. Calling it a toy implies that it was fun to use, and that'd be a real stretch. Looking back, now, it was truly horrific with precious little in the way of redeeming qualities past the pretty, sunburst finish.
It is a fun looking and sounding guitar. If not for my wife... I will keep my search for a decent resonator and hope I gain her approval. I do have what I need and more. I think that on the acoustic side, mahogany, rosewood and maple are proper to have. Dreadnought, 00 and a jumbo would be nice. Adirondack, sitja,cedar and all hog (I have this covered except the maple). A resonator a😂maybe a 12 string. I, personally could live with my D-18GE and CEO 7 a decent resonator and sell the rest (perhaps buy a 000 16 Streetmaster for a rosewood).I might sell all the electric guitars and amps...
For that money, you could get a Jim Dandy, a cheap pickup, and a piece of rubber to replace the saddle, and still have lots of cash left over. And, you can swap it back to a hard saddle anytime you get tired of the rubber bridge thing.
That's exactly what I did, and have a great sound rubber bridge parlor for $200cad. Gretsch actually just came out with the Deltoluxe now. It's $100 cheaper than this, looks better and is built better. It's got a great pickup, so just throw some flatwounds on it and some rubber. A good alternative to making a rubber bridge is using a tennis racket string spacer. It fits perfect and sounds exactly the same for $13.
Thumpy antique sound? It’s rubb-ish 😂. Put a small piece of foam between the top and the strings and you get the same effect, a trick from the famous Paco de Lucia, I trick I use when the kids are sleeping.
Sounds like a nylon string guitar... that's not really a bad thing of course, but it's different. I disagree about the output jack. My guitars that have the jack through the end pin means no strap locks, and very hard to get guitar straps to stay seated.
Thanks Jeremy. I am never buying or reccomending an Orangewood again. 2 bad out of 5 purchased is not good. Much better Eastman guitars for similar price. Resale on Orangewood guitars is BAD and 4 out of those 5 didn't sound good. They are inexpensive and not properly set up.
I’ve purchased 4 Orangewood guitars. No problems with any of them. Two of them were open box sales. I ordered the sunburst Juniper because of the look, specs and size.
Yeah. It's supposed to sound like a muted guitar. The rubber bridge deadens the strings. It sounds best through an amp with a bit of tremolo or Reverb.
This is the first video Jeremy's done where I'm thinking - is he hearing what we are? This guitar sounds like a Keith Urban 'learn guitar in 30 days' special, without the accompanying DVD course. Who cares how well-made it is, if it sounds like complete cr*p -= and it does.

I know right
“If we were vampires” sounded great

I'm really noticing how your finger picking has improved over time. Liking it
What a really cool guitar!

Sounds cool plugged in. Really highlights any mistakes that overtones can’t hide.

Thank you for this and other reviews you have done of Orangewood guitars. I just bought a “Morgan mahogany live” and I have you to thank.

Really cool looking little guitar. Not to exited about the acoustic sound but plugged in sounds kind of weird and cool.
It is gorgeous to look at.

Awesome video have a wonderful day Jeremy ❤😊
sounded great!

I like it!
where can i buy a martin 5-15?
Jeremy, I recognize the song at 11:13, but can’t put my finger on it. What is it??
"If we were vampires" by Jason Isbell
Very good, you play it well.. and I’m usually a hater, haha!!
It's tricky to play right. I've practiced it and still don't have it 💯

Very plunky ! Wonder if they will try a rubber back and sides model ?
I'm first in line for that. Ovation could have an untapped market.
Sounds like a child’s toy acoustically. Sort of interesting plugged in.
Yikes that's a lot of money? I would say that Recording King have captured the vibe of catalogue guitars much better for less money.
Gibson had plastic acoustic guitar bridges in the 70’s so I guess this works also 😂
Sounds like a nylon string guitar... that's not really a bad thing of course, but it's different. I disagree about the output jack. My guitars that have the jack through the end pin means no strap locks, and very hard to get guitar straps to stay seated.
Well, it's different..but not for me
It was not pleasing to my esrs 2:23
Interesting as an extra tool in the studio. But as a standalone guitar, no thank you.
I think so too. You can convert any guitar to a rubber bridge but can't convert some of these back.
Pass.

@@dukeofearl4117 Customer service at Orangewood was no help. Twice burned, never again.
Non starter on every front. Sounds like a kid's toy. For $395 buy a real guitar - say Arts and Lutherie.
SOUNDS HORRIBLE ACOUSTICALLY. Better plugged in. Sounds like rubber bands on a box. Is it the rubber bridge?
Yeah. It's supposed to sound like a muted guitar. The rubber bridge deadens the strings. It sounds best through an amp with a bit of tremolo or Reverb.

Take it back! 😂
They're definitely weird. I like the time but it's quacky and weird but good weird.
Rip off old style…😮
Orange wood got Rubens permission. He was super cool with it.
Thats beyond awful.
