Subject: RE: Anyone know Orlando guitars? From: GUEST Date: 02 Oct 16 - 11:13 AM Hi Orlando fans! i just bought a Model 301 acoustic for $40 off craigslist. This seems to be a "baby" dread size or Parlor sized guitar. It has a beautiful voice and sound! It plays well and the intonation is good. I may sand the saddle down for slightly better action but it's quite playable as is. I have tons of guitars both acoustic and electric but after reading this thread and the other meager info online about Orlando's i figured this must be a gem and another nice addition to my herd! Keep on picking! |
Subject: RE: Anyone know Orlando guitars? From: GUEST,Guest Stockton Date: 22 Nov 16 - 03:29 PM I purchased my Orlando 305 guitar from the wear house that was distributing the guitar. It was located in Los Angles, Ca. The year was 1964. I still have mine and is in excellent condition.....it still has a great sound! |

Subject: RE: Anyone know Orlando guitars? From: GUEST,Laurie Date: 06 Mar 18 - 04:52 AM I just picked up an Orlando model 301 at a thrift store for $20. It was strung for a lefty and the pickguard has been ripped off leaving a nasty scar. Plan to restring it and use it to teach kids. |
Subject: RE: Anyone know Orlando guitars? From: GUEST,colemanrose Date: 06 Jan 19 - 09:50 PM I just picked up a beautiful sounding Orlando 308 from a used guitar store. I have no idea of when it was made, but it sounds and look beautiful, and like it was worth more than the $100 I paid. |
Subject: RE: Anyone know Orlando guitars? From: GUEST Date: 19 May 19 - 01:12 AM I just purchased an Orlando Model 316 small nylon string guitar from The Guitar Shoppe in Laguna Beach, CA for $189 plus tax. It says Japan on the label inside. I wanted a small guitar to practice on during an upcoming road trip and this one sounds and plays pretty good. The tuners are a little sticky and the strings bind a little in the nut, but it’s okay for my purpose. |

Subject: RE: Anyone know Orlando guitars? From: GUEST Date: 14 Sep 21 - 08:26 PM just bought an es style Orlando, two single coils and a double florintine cutaway hollow body. Sounds great has a cool sunburst. Very punchy and neck and frets are perfect. |
