Excellent starter guitar
I returned this to Amazon simply because I could get a much better price through the manufacturer. The guitar has a very nice ring to it and plays very well. It has great volume as well. The action is great and won’t discourage beginners with fingers that are too sore. Of course, if you practice enough you WILL get sore fingers, but this guitar helps with that.

Excellent Guitar!
Bought amazon resale - Had a blemish or scratch probably from previous shipping. Price was reduced due to the condition. It is an excellent guitar. Set up was perfect. I am very impressed. I have owned over 20 different makes and models of Acoustic guitars and this guitar is superb. I have never had a guitar that I didn't have to adjust the truss rod, the bridge saddle, neck nut etc... except for this guitar. This guitar sounds excellent too. I have bought many used guitars too and will probably never buy a used guitar again. The used market is flooded and the asking prices are way too high- you are better to buy a new guitar. Maybe I just got lucky? This Orangewood Manhattan guitar I own is my new favorite. I've owned a lot of guitars low end up to high end and this one is excellent. Solid top expensive acoustic guitars are way overrated. The Manhattan is a layered spruce top- don't let that be a discouraging factor.

A great purchase
Very happy with this guitar and it's sound. The gig bag is much nicer than I expected too. A great instrument for the affordable price. Due to financial hardships I had to sell mine and I plan to replace it with another Orangewood eventually.

Wow
This is a great guitar! I wanted a cheaper guitar that I could "noodle" on and this fits the bill in spades. I own many guitars, I can say honestly that the build quality is excellent. Any beginner should be proud to have a fine instrument. I am probably going to replace the strings but literally out of the box it sounds awesome. Gonna place a pick guard in the future. GET EM WHILE THEY'RE ON THE CHEAP!!

Well worth buying unbelieveable sound,
I received it today and am totally impressed by the build Quality and playability of this guitar was not expecting the Quality for the price. the build of this Manhattan is great, And I was amazed at the playability right out of the case intonation and string height were right on which is amazing for buying online. the sound is unbelievable for a laminated top, bright highs and deep lows and great sustain like a dreadnaught should sound. I have and still own many guitars over the years and this one sits as a good guitar sounds great even though it has no electronics. I would definitely recommend this for an accomplished player who doesn't want to take the expensive guitar the expensive one out for fear of damage. this one fits the bill for accomplished players who want a great sound as well as beginners. would definitely recommend . a lot of bang for the buck, thanks Orange wood for making a great inexpensive guitar.

Wow! $100…I feel like I stole it
I bought this as a gift for my dad who has not played guitar in over 30 years. He was ecstatic to receive it! It is the nicest guitar that I have ever seen for $100. It was $35 cheaper than on the Orangewood website. Comes with a gig bag too. It does not have a solid top but besides that it is excellent for the money.

Snapped Interior Brace - Super High Action - Not set up like they claim
I don't think they actually "set them up" in California before they send them out. Because mine showed up with a snapped brace, of which caused the action to be SUPER high because the top was flexing. This should have been super obvious to the person "setting it up". The pictures don't do it justice, that crack was horrifying, I noticed it immediately, I was pretty disappointed. I contacted OW guitars told them about the issue. I was super cool about it. Also told them I would just glue, clamp, and call it good to go. Because I'm a hobby wood worker. I did just that, removed the strings, I opened up the crack and injected in some wood glue, clamped it up for 24 hours, and it's good to go now. Except for its super high action... but it plays ok for a toy/hobby grade guitar. I bought it to give to a student, I was excited to give it away so I didn't want to wait for a replacement. This is where I made my mistake. I should have just boxed it up and sent it right back. They said they would send me some swag for my issues, hat stickers whatever... they never followed through. This triggered my review. I would avoid mail ordering any guitar. Just go to a local music store and be sure the one you are purchasing is setup, and is in 100% playing order before you spend your hard earned cash. I fell for their Instagram add... hook line and sinker. I was giving OW time to follow through before I wrote this review, but it is what it is now. Maybe their higher end guitars are better, the YouTubers sure seem to think so. ***UPDATE*** The hat they promised for all the troubles showed up, smashed into a media envelope. USPS had written "not media, postage due" on it the envelope with a black marker. What a joke. In the end I let the student make the decision and he decided he wants to keep the guitar. So at some point we will just upgrade him in a year or so. Maybe find a nice used Taylor for him.
