There is something very special about an innovation that brings a new sound out of an instrument so familier. Thanks for sharing.

sounds like a muted nylon string guitar and i like it

Love the look of it, just never been the biggest rubber bridge sound fan

Seems like it is a pretty good guitar to bring on vacation with you.

I like it. Low jazz sounds. And it reminds me of the little kiddie plastic guitars from the 5$10

I have one of these love the feel! It is REALLY BASSY in the DAW. Any tips to kind of tame that low end 4th, 5th, and 6th string to even it out a bit?

I love the rubber bridge sound. It is what it is and should be listened to as its own thing.

You are where Hendrix was when he tired of the " normal" sound of his guitar. he started experimenting with high volumes and different different concepts of music which eventually ended in Electric Ladyland, carry on

I clicked on your link and Phoebe Bridgers taking a bong hit caught me off guard 😄 very nice affordable guitars 👍

Whatever floats your boat I guess but it doesn't float my boat.

Seems like a rubber bridge would muffle the sound. Also, don't the strings cut into the rubber after a while?

Next I string one of my guitars, do you think if you put rubber bands on the bridge under the strings, do you think you could get that tone?

I actually hate the sound. To me, it kind of sounds like a kids toy guitar with nylon strings.

The Emperor’s new guitar, sweet!

Might be "modern indie", but Ive been hearing it used in indie recordings for at least 30 years.

it sounds afflicted

The "muted" drone type sound peaked in the 60s with the double muted Gretsch Country Gents. Felt vs. rubber, i get it, but the bridge is set up very similar to an Indian Tambura. Without the "microtuner" beads behind the bridge, that thing will be impossible to properly intonate. Gretsch already makes a similar standard bridge model for less than $200. Sliding in a piece of rubber roundstock wouldn't be that difficult. IDK, I'm not a fan of Indie music, i can't even bring myself to call it rock at all. We used to rollup paper cardstock just behind the regular bridge to get a similar sound on my Martin D28 for one particular song but it was impossible to do live , so i used a felt wedge in front of the bridge and got better dynamics. I think I'm hating on it mostly because of that one song, it was horrible.

Would be really pissed if it had been expensive 😂

Sounds like “safe” guitar music! Thanks for posting, our ears need protection too.

How is this different than just using some foam under the strings?

Unplugged it sounds like a nylon string

Rubber bands for strings?

I got an Orangewood based on youtube guitar recs, like yours, and the neck is like a roller coaster. Regret all that shit.

Another tonal choice in the studio but not versatile enough for most live use. But yeah, another flavor.

Is it an electric?

Hmmmmm, I don't know

Dude. You were actually that excited for a guitar two guitar video ago. I’ve noticed zero elevated excitement levels. Baseline excitement

Dead sound is ok for some songs or genre's I guess. Some jazzy blues or Old timey stuff all sounded dead because of low technology and cheap guitars...but, kinda cool. Not for me tho...

Instead of buying another guitar, shouldn't that effect be possible by just putting a rubber "onlay" between the bridge and the strings instead of the bone inlay? Or alternatively weave a thin leather strip around the strings close to the bridge? I know I'm a cheapskate... 😁

Honestly, sounds like a toy guitar. I suppose orangewood did the market research and saw a demand. I'm so biased after nearly 55 years of guitar playing that if its not my Martin D-28, well, you know.

Lol, they HAD two colors. Apparently other people like this instrument too.

While I really like and look forward to Sean’s videos, I just don’t share his admiration for the sound of rubber bridges. It just muffles and mutes the sound of the guitar too much. There may be some limited applications where that muted sound is useful, but for general playing, I think it smothers the high end tones that make the guitar the wonderful instrument it is.

You used the "index finger" method in the thumbnail picture.

Salty comment alert! Not a fan of the sound to be honest.

hearing this guitar reminded me of a song i havn't thought about for years. Not because it sounds the same, but hearing it gave me the same feeling i have hearing this song :) thx for reminding kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pN-aoJaT0avbaas.html&ab_channel=Kwandopp

I want to be Sean Daniel when I grow up

Is it just me or does it really sounds horrible? I'm sorry for saying this (I like your videos a lot), but my son's toy ukelele sounds embarrassingly similar to that guitar.

Yeah... NO !

Aah, Eer, ok Yeah/Nah !!

More distortion more distortion more distortion

Nope.

Um… no.

normally i’d find the price tag at Old Style frustrating, but i feel like he deserves to monetize however he can, especially with companies like Orangewood lifting the design wholesale and selling cheap knock offs

Sounds like crap!

Definitely not my cup of tea. Sounds like a toy.

An acquired taste, another flavour, maybe but it sounds like a poor toy Ukulele with 2 extra strings .

This is a fad type Guitar and down the road they won’t exist.

Looks like a toy and sounds like a toy

Like an ARP without brightness. Sound like a synth. Very annoying and useless!

Sounds like hot garbage

Did you bump your head?? I'm all in for change but this my friend, in my opinion is RIDICULOUS... Why not just buy a kiddie guitar. Sounds the same to me! Im not even sure why I took my time to comment.

your constant faux excitement is tiring
