An Artist’s Secret Tool? The Rubber Bridge

Inspired by historic muting techniques and modified bridge designs of respected luthiers, we've put our unique spin on the dreamy rubber bridge tone. Using our parlor as the base, we tested a number of rubber-lined saddle designs to find the right thickness and adjustability. We then upgraded the bridge construction with additional reinforcement and added in a trapeze tailpiece. The result? A muted yet articulate sound.

Upgraded Features

Ernie Ball Flatwounds provide a nice warmth to accentuate Juniper’s tonal textures, while Grover open-gear tuners ensure tuning stability. From beginning songwriters to touring pros, you can count on Juniper for reliable performance.

Plug In and Explore

Juniper sounds great unplugged, but you should hear it through your favorite amp and pedals. The high-output rail humbucker projects the perfect punch to balance out all that mellowness, and a simple cupcake-style knob adds volume control.

Expert Set Up + Gig Bag Included

Juniper is ready to play right out of the gig bag with a professional set up before shipment. When needed, you can easily fine-tune the guitar’s playability at home, using the headstock truss rod access, allowing for neck relief and adjustment.

WOW. One the best instrument purchases i’ve ever made

Sounds amazing, stays in tune and was on sale for $310???? No brainer

I can't stop playing my guitar!

Since the moment it was delivered, I have not been able to put the Juniper down. I have written 3 songs within the week that I've had it. Easily the best set up guitar I've owned. I will be recommending Orangewood to everyone I know and will most likely will be buying more guitars in the future!

Thanks for your review! We're thrilled to hear that your Juniper Live has inspired your songwriting. Welcome to the Orangewood family!

Patience is a Virtue

When I first saw the Juniper, it was love at first sight. I'd been looking for a unique parlor guitar and it seemed to fit the bill. It took a few months for me to finally grab one. Out of the box, it was gorgeous!

And then I began to play it. . . From the get-go, the Juniper utterly confused me. I've been playing for so long that I had developed a style and technique that seemed to run counter to the Juniper's strengths. Every time I picked it up, it seemed to taunt me. "Not like that!" it always said. "Try again!"

Two days in, I came close to returning it. A week later, I felt the same. For some reason, I told myself to give it time, to not cave in. Eventually, I put my pick aside and began to experiment with fingerstyle, a technique that I have never really used. Immediately, the lights came on. Sparks flew. Love was absolutely in the air!

Two months in and I am in absolute love with this guitar. It has totally redefined my playing style. I see and hear a noticeable difference in my musicianship. After spending who-knows-how-long at a plateau, I feel like it has allowed me to break through and reach a new musical height. I have new ideas, can't wait to try them out, and have an excitement about playing guitar that I haven't felt for almost two years.

Bravo, Orangewood! You have no idea how much this guitar means to me!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with your Juniper! We’re so glad to hear how it has inspired you to push your boundaries and explore new techniques like fingerstyle. Sometimes, an instrument that takes us out of our comfort zone can open up new creative doors. It’s truly amazing to hear how the Juniper has redefined your playing and reignited your passion for guitar.

Fantastic! Sold all six ordered in a week.

So unique and inspiring

These sound incredible with reverb effects. works great for creating moments in the set when you want to make an acoustic sound more interesting with the vocals. My only complaint is that the action was a little high and I may have to adjust the rubber saddle to get better intonation. Other than the guitar is great for the price.
