Just received a Brooklyn. It is every bit as good as reviewers and users are communicating. It is almost unreal regarding the quality, sound, build and playability at this price point. The action was a bit high for my preference at the 12th fret, especially on the Low E end. I sanded the saddle to lower the levels and brought it right into a 5/64 inch low E and 4/64 inch high E. Then small adjustments to the Truss. The neck handled it with no problem, no buzzing or neck relief issues.
I own several high end guitars and am a multi decade player, and the Brooklyn is not a "compromise" guitar. I purchased mostly for travel, and couch playing and I won't feel like I am lowering my playing experience by not playing one of the others.
Good Job Orangewood!
