Most CZcamsrs would have some kind of huge overdramatic surprised face in their thumbnail, this chad just has the same great smile, and a guitar of course
Hey Darrell..just wanted to say thanks for posting great videos. Although I do not play my daughter has been playing for 1.5 yrs now. Your videos have taught me so much about guitars I can have conversations with her and know what she's talking about. Thanks again for great videos.
Dude, I love your channel! That guitar sounds like it's worth the money at almost any price-point. Your no-nonsense presentations are always a bright part of my growth as a player and a consumer. Keep it up, Brother! God Bless, and have a Merry Christmas!
This guitar not only has nice, clean looks, but it sounds awesome ! The strings really rung out and it appears to play nice as well. Quality tuners, quality bridge & nut. It is a lot of great features at the price point.
I absolutely love my Orangewood, it's a Mason Live Limited edition. I upgraded the tuners to gold grover locking ones and installed some gold power pins. The end result is the nicest acoustic I've ever owned and it literally rings like a bell. Such awesome tone projection. If your in the market for a great guitar and don't have $3,000 for that Taylor or Martin you really want I encourage you to try one of these Sage models or one from the Melrose collection like mine. If you don't love it they have a great return policy.
I've noticed lots of promotion for Zager guitars that claim they're" easier to play" because the strings lower. What's the action like on your Orangewood Sage?
@@JimLarranaga5k I find the action to be low enough to ease playing but not too low to get fret buzz. It’s really set up nicely. That’s their selling point besides the fact of using solid woods.
I have the all-solid mahogany Ava (based on a prior video from you DBG). Worth every penny. Holds perfect tune, great woodsy tone with a nice string sheen. I like it more than my past two acoustics (a Martin and a Taylor).
I bought an Orangewood guitar 18 months ago. The company was really great to deal with. The guitar, I thought, was okay. We were off work a long time because of the Coronavirus (I'm a music therapist). My guitar was actually sitting at work. Then I go back a year later and play that Orangewood guitar. It opened up beautifully! For a $200 guitar, it has a sweet, very satisfying sound, and seems to get better every day. For a guitar with a solid top and laminated back and sides, it sounds great and is a tremendous value. I have nice (expensive) guitars now, but I could so have used a guitar like this back in my pre-college days when I couldn't afford anything but a crummy guitar made of plywood. I recommend Orangewood guitars whole-heartedly.
I bought a Rey Spruce from Orangewood about 2 years ago. It's a laminate but it was only a little over 100 USD. Two years later it plays better than when I bought it. Great tone for a laminate but I'm most impressed with the playability. Super nice neck and very good action. Really glad I got it. I think I first saw it on a Darrel video.
These guys at Orangewood are making a wonderful job, even in the economic line... Fine sound, not expensive guitars that make your day and your job easier and risk free. Anyway, they show us that it is possible.
After viewing the several videos that Darrell has out on Orangewood Guitars I decided to buy one. I chose the Morgan Live for it's price and because I decided laminated mahogany sides might be a bit more stable than the real mahogany that the Sage has. I had read that people love their Orangewoods and I can see why. They are very well made - set up was perfect out of the box, no sharp frets, etc. I had read that people did not care for the Ernie Ball strings they come with, however, and I totally agree. The biggest issue for me was how scratchy sounding the G string was. I replaced the strings with Elixir .12s and now it sounds even better! I'm going to get a pick guard for it but I don't like the appearance of the tortoise shell guard they send with it so I am ordering a black pick guard from a third party. A great value!! Thank you Darrell.
I bought an oraqngewood Morgan Spruce Live a couple months ago because of a few videos I saw from them and i can definitely say that all the good things are true. If you’re thinking of buying one do it, you won’t be disappointed.
@DarrelBraunGuitar I've really enjoyed your channel, lots of great content. Ive learned as a bit of a beginner that when it's time to upgrade the smart move is to get a better amp before upgrading the guitar or pickups. So it would be great to see more content reviewing amplifiers and speakers. Because I want to upgrade my amp but looking into it is a little bit daunting, so it might be nice to see some low end, mid range and high end options looked into as well as realistic or smart upgrades that might be more cost effective to improve existing amps. Also looking into the differences between tubes and solid states and what the pros and cons are of both. I guess just your take on a more comprehensive look into the whole other end of the tone. Thanks for your great work and keep up the awesome channel.
I purchased the Orangewood Mason live great guitar I purchased it last January plays well stays in tune great guitar for the money you cannot beat it sounds good unplugged and sounds great plugged in I give it👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎🍺🎼🎸🇺🇸🎁10 thumbs up
I have the morgan mahogany cutaway, which is the cheaper version of that one, and even in it's simplicity it blew me away, even for the price! I would highly recommend Orangewood!
can't say enough about my Morgan...and I'm not a big acoustic player but I am now. Amazing sound/playability/value.... looks sweet too. Never bonded with my $1500 Martin a few years back.
I recently had a friend express interest in learning guitar, and he was about to by something fishy from a big box store. I stopped him and recommended Orangewood. He ordered one and I got to try it out. Even at the entry level price point, they're very good guitars, and the accessory kit (with tuner, capo, etc) is an easy choice. Or course I learned about Orangewood from Darrell Braun...
Just received an Orangewood Brooklyn, absolutely rediculous quality and sound for the price. Neck was perfectly setup on arrival and plays amazing. Would never guess it was a msrp of almost 300 usd
I own a Brooklyn Live and had no issues , I also own a Taylor 314 , I just ordered a Sage Mahogany… I’ve been playing for 4 years, I learned on OrangeWood guitar, when I purchased my Taylor i was excited, great playable guitar but 4x the price of an OrangeWood.. I truly believe they are underrated, OrangeWood makes great guitars and affordable, I was aiming for a Martin but it wasn’t my taste after I played one, don’t believe they are worth the money, they feel and look cheap, that’s why I went for another OrangeWood , this time a Sage… My Taylor will be taking a rest , just scared to bang it up
I like this video ! But we need an outro at the end showing your awesome guitars, with a cool tone like the one on “C’est pas sorcier” outro, very simple and rock and roll n ear pleasing And maybe a 2 seconds intro that wont hurt, my dude you should do a poll for those kind of things ask people, and with that you’ll surpass Davie504, your vids, ive watched guitarists on youtube from Rob Chapman n the other one to Davie, n when i say you got what it takes to surpass him, i mean it, its not a compliment or something its just how it is !! And you gonna do it “By listening to other peoples opinions on your polls” (not me included) , good luck 🤘🏽
This guitar has a quite penetrating sound and it sounds really good but can't help it, jumbo guitars is my weakness. I have a mini jumbo myself and it sounds amazing with a big soft sound. This guitar should be perfect for folk, pop and country though. It will probably do a great job live.
I got this guitar on Jan 10th. Yesterday Fed 8th the body cracked. They have a 30 day return policy and today would be day 31 so I guess we'll see how they operate. I have never been so disappointed in a guitar. I had a Yamaha F310 for 20 plus years and it was $150.
I don't own an acoustic guitar and that got me thinking a few days ago...perhaps my next guitar should be..like how many more electrics do I need right now. 😩 I started a bit of research and sure enough Orangewood caught my attention. I'd never heard of them before. This guitar sounds fantastic...alas I live on the other side of the world.🌎 Great review - thank you!
Surprised to see this guitar is 645 USD, good deal, it sounds fantastic, then again you are a fantastic guitarist. I'd be willing to pay a little more for locking tuners, a TUSQ XL nut (XL are self lubricating, TUSQ are not), other than that I can't complain on this instrument especially for the price.
Oops Darrell,That purfling around body and sound hole is usually called herringbone and I think the body may actually be sipo.Martin have been using it on their CEO7 when Mahagony became scarce (or maybe too pricey).....................
Just ordered the Dana mini guitar from Orangewood and I was thoroughly impressed by it for the price. Way better the the Orangewood Rey mahogany I first ordered. Orangewood is getting better and their prices are still ridiculous low.
From Leo: Because of your coverage, I bought an Oliver Mahogany for relaxing in the living room. Fantastic instrument for such low price. The Sage looks really nice, I have a Seagull performer, how would that compare to the Sage?
Day 6 of asking for a review of the VHT D50-h. It's a hand wired "D" style amp for $850 USD. It'd be awesome to get a review from someone who won't pull any punches on the amp! Thanks Darrell!
Sounds like it sounds nice from your microphone and whatever processing your using, YT compression, my soundcard decompression, through my speakers, my room acoustics, to my ears and into my brain.
Most CZcamsrs would have some kind of huge overdramatic surprised face in their thumbnail, this chad just has the same great smile, and a guitar of course
DB is all steak and a hint of sizzle.
He literally did that with the Gyrock video lol. There was a Schecter video before that too.
Hes still a chad tho
What a lame kiss ass comment
@@naturboy just what I was going for, good job noticing, do you want a trophy?
Got an acoustic demo for you guys this week!
Last year I took a look at the Sage Spruce, and this is the same design, but in solid Mahogany.
Enjoy :)
Yeah it sounds very elegant
I hear they come with a decent setup as well. Sounds and looks great! Any thoughts about Luna?
Any way to get them on Vancouver Island Canada?
@@TheRavensOmen i got the mohogany oliver, and this is the easiest guitar ive ever played, and its only 200!
what's up? great reveiew! Can you do a video on the guild om 240ce? itws a great guitar with a good price tag.
Hey Darrell..just wanted to say thanks for posting great videos. Although I do not play my daughter has been playing for 1.5 yrs now. Your videos have taught me so much about guitars I can have conversations with her and know what she's talking about. Thanks again for great videos.

I love Orangewood guitars!!
well that settles it.
Orangewoods are well designed. I like the aesthetic simplicity and the natural wood. I have the Sage- Spruce version.

Dear Santa, can we skip the whole Motorcycle thing? You see, there's this guitar...
I need an acoustic so I can cover "Crambone" from Tom and Jerry. Beautiful guitar, Darrell!
wow, I was expecting this guitar to be a lot more expensive. I'm impressed, It looks nice and definitely sounds nice too.
They all come straight out of China. The prices are reasonable on the low end and extremely overpriced on the higher end.
First thing, it immediately catched my ear. It sounds beautifull. Looks also nice
I have the all-solid mahogany Ava (based on a prior video from you DBG). Worth every penny. Holds perfect tune, great woodsy tone with a nice string sheen. I like it more than my past two acoustics (a Martin and a Taylor).
I have an Echo Live, and I simply can't get over how nice it is - especially for the money.

Nice review, as usual, Darrell. I need another guitar like I need a 3rd wife, but Orangewood has a tempting lineup.

I love the warm sound of mahogany. Gorgeous sounding (and looking) guitar!
The resonance is amazing. Nice clear, bright and good low-end. Nice finish! Must be a joy to play.
You literally posted this as I went to their site lol yer a wizard Darrell
The term you're looking for on that purfling is "herringbone" :D
Guitars like this always have a beautiful finish
I just want to say I love your videos Darrel, KEEP DOING THEM!!!

Good for you giving away the guitars you test!👍🏻 That’s a great thing to do!,
I bought a Orangewood off Amazon. No regrets so far!
I'm a simple man, I see Orangewood I click.
Your style feels so different when you are playing finger style...both are awesome!
love your channel..always a good honest review
Wow 🤩!!! Excellent sound... Excellent guitar!!!!
Thank you Darrell for all the awesome content
Fantastic demo Darrell! I love your playing style and your approach to doing reviews. Always look forward to the next one if only to hear you play!
I purchased the Orangewood Mason live great guitar I purchased it last January plays well stays in tune great guitar for the money you cannot beat it sounds good unplugged and sounds great plugged in I give it👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎🍺🎼🎸🇺🇸🎁10 thumbs up

Nice guitar indeed! Happy holidays from Finland!
Thanks for the demo video. I am interested and this was great to learn about the product updates.
Came to check out the guitar, got pleasantly surprised by the awesome and inspiring playing!
Tone translates nicely to video!! If I hadn't just bought two new guitars, that would have gotten on my radar.
Just ordered me one! Am excited to get this beauty!
Fantastic fingerstyle player Darrell, wish you did online lessons!!
From the first time I saw these I wanted one, someday I might get one, I already have more guitars than I play

Still waiting for them to be able to ship to us mortals in Canada. Not sure why they can't seem to do this. Amazing sounding guitars.
After shipping and exchange why bother? So much nicer guitars available here already.
Long time watcher.........
First time caller...........
sweettttttt....
Tell it like it IS .........!#!!!#!
I wish I had a way to get in touch with you, by far my favorite guitar related youtube channel, Thank you for all the videos.
I was literally just looking at the Echo Live 12 this morning. You may have changed my mind
Do it, I bought one a few months ago. You won’t be disappointed.
As a Canadian, I would love to see what you think of Simon & Patrick acoustics (made in the Godin factory).
After shipping, exchange rates, etc,,, this is no deal for Canadians. You can find much better for the money it will cost you to get this to Canada.
@Ken Barb Godin is the company, Seagull is still in production and I think S&P still have models.
Love total mahogany acoustics. This one sounds great.
Also good playing in this video keep getting better and better
Beautiful playin on a lovely instrument. Great job Darrell!
Super early gang where are you at? Even if I still didn't see the video, I can already tell it'll be fire, as usual !
That sounds amazing, thanks for another great video 🤛
Thanks.
Jeez you guys are fast. 1 minute in and there's 5 comments already!!? 😂😂👍
The guitar sounds good Darrel
Jeez you guys are fast. That's what she said....
@@ZitherBeast 😂😂👍Snap!
I like this video ! But we need an outro at the end showing your awesome guitars, with a cool tone like the one on “C’est pas sorcier” outro, very simple and rock and roll n ear pleasing

Herringbone looks so classy.

Elegant means like the sky is singing inside the body of that wood, For those wondering.

Great review sir. Looks like a wonderful guitar.
beautiful guitar, beautiful playing , thanks !
Nice clean sound, beautiful.👍
Sounds and looks beautiful. Hmm? Dry cold winters, hot humid summers, must be Ontario.
Or perhaps somewhere north of North Dakota/ Montana/Idaho ish.
Sounds great,really full and balanced
Wow and someone just suggested this guitar to me cause I want an acoustic guitar and I'm a beginner
Orangewoods are great bang for the buck. I have 3 of them .
Just ordered the Dana mini guitar from Orangewood and I was thoroughly impressed by it for the price. Way better the the Orangewood Rey mahogany I first ordered. Orangewood is getting better and their prices are still ridiculous low.
Great video as always!! What tuning is that picking pattern you play at 0:34?? I really LOVE the way that sounded
Thanks!
It's In DADGAD
Great review. That guitar sounds really nice.
I’ve never heard of Orangewood but that guitar sounds fantastic
Killer guitar. Makes me wish I’d kept my all solid mahogany Martin D-15. Love that sound.
Elegant sound.
That guitar sounds so incredible to me. I love the tone and tight sound and feel of it.Thnx Darrell for showing them! Would LOVE to get one! Cheers!
Where did you buy it? Their website says they only ship to US customers?
They have a Reverb shop as well where they sell direct to consumers, thats where I bought mine.
That’s a gorgeous guitar!!! It sounds marvelous and if I was in the market for another acoustic I’d give it some real consideration. 👍🏻🤘🏻😎
Comparing it to Martin OOO-10e or Cort AS OC4 both all Mahogany bodies would be awesome.
Am I asking too much? Well it's Christmas season so...
Going on four years with my Morgan mahogany. Sounds better than when I got it.
Looking forward to the longterm update!
From Leo: Because of your coverage, I bought an Oliver Mahogany for relaxing in the living room. Fantastic instrument for such low price. The Sage looks really nice, I have a Seagull performer, how would that compare to the Sage?
I like this sage mahogany.
sounds wonderful....
Sage Mahogany VS Ava Mahogany - I see the physical differences. Any inputs of sound characteristics or preferences?
Day 6 of asking for a review of the VHT D50-h. It's a hand wired "D" style amp for $850 USD. It'd be awesome to get a review from someone who won't pull any punches on the amp! Thanks Darrell!
An excelent mahogany acoustic Guitar
Sounds like it sounds nice from your microphone and whatever processing your using, YT compression, my soundcard decompression, through my speakers, my room acoustics, to my ears and into my brain.
