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.
@@offbeatinstruments I agree with your assessment. The only thing I can figure is that for the MSRP they are competitively priced tp compete with Gibson/Fender CS Guitars. Being located in the UK I would expect their customer base to be mostly local.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@johnnystieferman6527 What's wrong with guitars made in Korea? If you think only guitars made in USA are worthy of owning you are missing out on a lot of quality instruments
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.
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 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
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.
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! The back wall is figurative but the drinks are not. We played a club where the patrons complained it was spilling the beer out of their glasses. All I can say is JUST TRY ONE!!! ...bring a bottle of water, a glass, some paper towels ...and $450 LOL You are going to have a WTF moment!
@@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 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.
I used to own that exact Orange guitar on reverb, I traded it back and forth with my buddy Chad. It was a decent guitar. Orange also had a strat style a few years earlier.
I've known about these, and didn't think about Rick Vito's Reverend till today. Lots in common with the checkerboard and body shape. Which I'm sure is totally 50's Danoelectric and the brands they also made back then.
I have seen ads for Orange branded LP copies in Japanese Guitar magazines from the 80's ...so Orange Logo guitars were being made and marketed in Japan decades ago....wonder if Orange has contracted with a Japanese company to produce the bodies etc. Then finishes assembling them in the UK ......just my two cents worth...

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.
The couple guitars I remember don't seem to have any relation to the new Boss guitar; I'm not even sure they were related to Boss or Roland, maybe some small luthier brand called Boss? It's a hazy decades-old teenage memory now, but I wish I knew what those were. At the time I knew only a little beyond the guitar I played (a Hondo), they looked like Charvels to me at the time.
Daaaang, I just learned Kramer make a SC. When the name is a color, we expect them to be Orange. The audio sounds worthy, kind of Gretsch on steroids. And i like the boat paddle HS. That ES-S looking one wins for me, just grit and grunt. Ü♫
Interesting to see how many people on here, have opinions about a guitar, that they haven’t seen in the flesh yet let alone played. Thanks a lot Austin.
The amount of honest wear and tear on the double cut is beautiful! Relic'd guitars hold zero interest to me. For me, the real beuaty is obtained by honest to God use. It's like rat rods. Purpose built rat rods (that's the look I'm going for) with no intention of ever completeing the car are just...no.
I hate relic guitars too. It's just epitome of consumerism, people want to buy rockstar road wear. Personally I try to keep my guitar in good shape, I treat it well, but I'm not obsessive if some cosmetic damage happens.
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.
Funniest thing ever my local store got Boss guitars on their website today. I said, what? Since when do they make guitars. I guess a lot do though, like line 6, vox, boss and now this orange.
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. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person to see crooked or not centered components. And once you see something like that it cannot be unseen. It’s also difficult to tell with Trogly’s audience, we got Glarry fans all the way to establish Luthiers.
@@paultrombetta No apology needed, but TY. With comments it is impossible to know the experiences or where the commenter is coming from. In many cases both people are correct.

Supposed to be really high end as well in terms of hardware along with a built in synth option.
Already know about the guitar
Do Green amps next.
Or Mat amp.
@@greenfly1264 the best!
As a Gibson/Gretsch aficionado, I'd rock that thing every day.
The pups aren't mounted straight. 5000?
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.
@@hkguitar1984thanks for explaining bridge angle. In my 45 years of working on guitars it never occured to me :/
@@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.
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person to see crooked or not centered components.
And once you see something like that it cannot be unseen.
It’s also difficult to tell with Trogly’s audience, we got Glarry fans all the way to establish Luthiers.
@@hkguitar1984 I dig. My apologies for the tude man
@@paultrombetta No apology needed, but TY.
With comments it is impossible to know the experiences or where the commenter is coming from. In many cases both people are correct.
I think, which arm and leg do I have to sell to be able to afford one if I was interested. Good thing I'm not.
Finish reminds me of a Music-man Armada
Brian May's Red Special Has a zero fret and he said that he never has changed the frets
The zero fret has been changed once, around mid 2000. He built quite a guitar with his dad.
I like the headstock. Reminds me of the 3x3 toothpaste charvel headstock
Thanks Austin, I had no idea
ORANGE has now released the Glen Hughes signature bass amp collection in ..............................PURPLE.
I heard about that, it looks pretty cool
