Critic Reviews

Orangewood Ava Review

guitarspace.org

Affordable yet impressive, the Orangewood Ava Torrefied Spruce boasts solid construction and a vintage feel, making it an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced players alike. Its full, rounded tone and comfortable playability shine, especially for fingerstyle guitarists. However, the guitar's volume can fall short during strumming, and the exclusive online ordering process may deter some buyers. If you're after a solid acoustic without breaking the bank, the Ava delivers a rich sound, but those needing a professional-grade instrument might want to keep looking.
