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.
- Parlour – This smaller acoustic body shape offers a more intimate acoustic sound with sweet articulate highs and a focused low end. It’s easy to manage, perfect for playing on the couch (in the parlour), and produces a sound that’s not overbearing and excels in fingerstyle playing.
- 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.
