I have an Orlando Les Paul Custom copy that is really knocked about but sounds great ( modern Asian copies just are not close )and plays very well. It is Old!! and needs a refret.
I took it to an extremely reliable and knowledgeable guitar repairer in Brisbane and he said that it had all the characteristics of the early Ibanez copies from the Hoshino Gakki company in Japan. That is all I've been able to find out about Orlando guitars. He said that it is highly likely that some USA importer just had the Japanese guitars rebadged to sell through his/her particular distribution network. Probably the business people involved are long gone taking their history with them - an interesting thought for some research. I nearly didn't buy it ( in 9/06 when I found it going very cheap ) but now I'm really glad I did.
I hope some guitar lover finds out some more.
Let's hope music brings more people together.
All the Very best - Chris.
