Description

Designed in Los Angeles, the Orangewood Berkeley Live encapsulates the timeless design and sound of the Dreadnought acoustic body shape. Favoured by many due to its large, powerful sound that works with just about every playing style, this acoustic shape is often regarded as the quintessential acoustic guitar design.

The Berkeley Live features a Torrefied Solid Sitka Spruce top with solid Pau Ferro back and sides, which helps to provide a lively, resonant tone with a sweet and musical top end and rich harmonic sustain. Its Ebony fingerboard adds some extra articulation to the tone and also provides a smooth feeling playing experience, and thanks to its LR Baggs Anthem pickup system, getting an unbelievable live sound couldn’t be easier!

Orangewood Guitars

Founded in 2018, Orangewood Guitars set out to offer a line of instruments that embraces the heritage and timeless design of many of the most revered models, but with a modern twist that helps put their guitars in the hands of players at all stages of their musical journey.

Based in Los Angeles, California, this small team of guitarists set out to offer the very best acoustic and electric guitars at the most pocket-friendly price possible. Fuelled by the influence and impact that guitar and music had on them as individuals, as well as their collective passion for design, tone and quality, Orangewood has quickly established themselves as one of the most talked about modern guitar brands.

Utilising classic body shapes as well as tried and tested tonewood combinations and building methods, these guitars provide the perfect building blocks for beginners and professionals alike, whether at home, on stage or in the studio.

Key Features

Torrefied Spruce – Favoured for its unrivalled projection, articulation and note clarity, Solid Spruce is widely recognised as one of the go-to choices for acoustic instrument tops. Torrefying (roasting) the Spruce top takes things to the next level by ensuring all moisture is removed, meaning you’re left with a top that’s even more resonant, lively and musical.
Dreadnought – Ask anyone to draw an acoustic guitar from memory, and it’s quite likely that the result will be something that represents a Dreadnought. Famed for its large sound, powerful sustain and cutting articulation, this versatile acoustic covers it all!
LR Baggs Anthem – The LR Baggs Anthem acoustic pickup system provides studio-like stage tones thanks to its traditional under-saddle transducer in combination with a specially designed condenser microphone.
Hardshell Case Included – Rest easy knowing your Orangewood acoustic is safe at home or on the road with its included hardshell case.

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Dreadnought

A dreadnought is a large-bodied acoustic guitar known for its powerful projection and strong low-end response. It delivers a full, bold sound with plenty of volume, making it well suited to strumming, flatpicking, and playing in band settings where clarity and punch are important.

Electro-Acoustic

Electro-acoustic guitars are acoustic instruments fitted with built-in pickups or microphones that allow them to be amplified or connected directly to a PA system or amplifier. They retain the natural acoustic tone and feel of a traditional acoustic guitar while adding the convenience of onboard electronics.

They are commonly used for live performance and recording, especially in situations where consistent volume and clarity are needed. Electro-acoustic guitars often include controls for volume and tone, and sometimes built-in tuners, making them a practical choice for gigging musicians who want an acoustic sound with modern flexibility.
