GUEST,John Puentes, Geneseo, IL Anyone know Orlando guitars? (160* d) RE: Anyone know Orlando guitars? 03 Aug 11


I have also been fortunate enough to have an Orlando 305 fall into my hands.
My daughter's brother-in-law had given it to her for her kids (my grandkids) to play: he had never played and knew nothing about it. When I found it, my grandkids had almost trashed it: broken the top at the front, and the bridge was coming off. I "disgustedly" took it from her and told her I would try to fix it and give it back to her kids when they would respect an instrument more.
I was able to fix it easily, and you can barely tell it was damaged.
So I put a set of cheap nylon strings on it, and started playing around with it.
The more I played it, the more I liked it.
Not only did it play like a dream, it sounded awesome.
Now, I keep it hanging in my tv room, and get it down often while watching tv and just mess around on it, playing along with commercials and practicing.
The more I play this guitar, the more impressed I am. Just a sweet mellow tone, and fairly decent volume when you want it.
What a find!
My grandkids may well have to wait to get this back as part of their inheritance!
