I took advantage of what was supposed to be an “almost perfect” sale. After looking over this guitar, I have not found a single thing that makes this “almost perfect”. One idea may be that I can’t tell the difference between what’s normal to expect on an inexpensive guitar such as this, and what would make Orangewood deem this as “almost perfect”. I am thoroughly contented with the condition of this guitar. Out of the box it looks and plays amazing. I love the unique sound of the rubber bridge and hope to utilize this guitar on my next album. The aesthetic is absolutely wonderful. I chose the black option. It looks beautiful and timeless. The single volume nob is the perfect thing to tie the look together. I do have one complaint. This guitar is a brick in the hands. It weighs as much as my 5 string bass. An absolute chonker. If Orangewood could find a way to shed some weight, that would make this guitar perfect. I absolutely recommend anyone pick up a Juniper. If nothing else, it’s a high quality inexpensive guitar to noodle around on. I look forward to all the music I will make with mine.
