That looks mighty fine. I've never heard of Orpheum- did you play one locally or how did you know about it?
Beautiful guitar, Strum. You are now redeemed and have "Good Guy" status again.

I had not played one or even heard of it. It was offered at a good price. I did a little digging and liked what I read. Then a fellow fretter did some checking for me and I liked what he found.Originally Posted by peachhead
I wanted a decent guitar that didn't break the bank or put too big a dent in the cash for some other things - this was it.

Hey Strummy,
Nice looking new guitar. All solid woods. I'll bet she sounds terrific. Nicely done.

Looks nice, Strum! It just wasn't right that you had no acoustic! I would have guessed Tacoma and then Olympia, too, after seeing the distinctive bridge. Whilst hunting my Tacoma, I never came across the Orpheum line (there's a great small-theater music venue in Boston by that name). Is it new, as in current production? Wondering if it represents Fender's new move for Tacoma?

While Olympia was Tacoma's primary Asian-made clone brand, Orpheum was another, not as 'broad' a line and barely marketed (like the rest of Tacoma) Indonesian-made, a good bang for the buck.Originally Posted by tjcurtin1
As for Fender's next/new move for Tacoma? They ain't sayin' much, but my 2 cents guess is that whatever they do, they'll be imports. Unless they just kill the brand. They've got Takamine and Ovation and their sub-brands now that they bought Kaman, and they're making Guilds (or trying to) in the Ovation plant since scuttling the Tacoma factory.
The Orpheum arrived today and I immediately realized how much the electric masked my crappy playing ability.
No pics, already posted enough.
Nice guitar and serves its purpose.
Thanks SPT, arrived in time for the weekend.

Hey Mr. Strum,
Now that you have had time to bond with the new guitar what's the report? Any surprises? Glad to have an acoustic back in the herd?
