I'm a fan of Orangewood guitars. Use to play Taylor guitars but their prices are now ridiculous and their playability has gone down hill. Still sound good and are beautiful to look at but tone and playablilty for the price is King in my book so that leads me to Orangewood. I have many Orangewood guitars and each have their own tone. I thought I would try the Victoria because it is different from the other Orangewoods I have. It is not solid wood, no pickup, 43mm neck width-not 44mm like other full size Orangewood guitars-just a plain guitar. Worth a try and can send it back if it is not liked. Not on your life...This is one of the most amazing guitars I have played! Toneality is very even on all strings and is so easy to play with the narrower neck. I did the usual string change to Elixir 10-46 and had to lower the action slightly to suit my taste. Everything else was perfect. The gig bag could have been better but is not the worst gig bag I've seen either. Amazing guitar!!!!!
