Thread Name: Anyone know Orlando guitars?
Subject: RE: Anyone know Orlando guitars?
I just inherited an Orlando classical guitar from my mother who took up classical guitar because I played. I got a nice Taurus guitar years ago and then gave Mom the Yamaha my parents had bought me in 1966. She played for years and then gave up playing and gave my old Yamaha to my brother. When she passed away, it was a surprise to me that she had this Orlando. It says the model is 317 which I haven't seen in this thread or the other I found. It's a lovely guitar with dark orangish-brown wood on the face. The bridge has obviously been replaced because it's white and the other plastic parts on the guitar are yellow. I wish I could ask Mom where she got it. She wasn't the type to go to garage sales.

I just put strings on it and it sounds so good that I had to try to find out about it. I guess it will remain a mystery, but I love it.
