Product Description
The Orangewood Ava Jr Live in Black Satin is a compact mini grand concert electro acoustic that blends high end tonewoods with stage ready electronics. With a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides and premium LR Baggs Anthem electronics, it is built to deliver a rich, open acoustic voice that translates beautifully when plugged in, all in a comfortable, shorter scale package.
Part of Orangewood’s Highland collection, Ava Jr Live is designed for players who want a smaller body guitar without sacrificing depth, projection or clarity. The 23.5 inch scale length and slim C shaped mahogany neck make it an inviting instrument for developing players and experienced guitarists alike, while the sleek black satin finish and mother of pearl appointments give it a modern, stage ready look.
The torrefied solid Sitka spruce top is at the heart of Ava Jr Live’s sound, offering the responsiveness of a well played in acoustic straight out of the case. Paired with solid mahogany back and sides and scalloped X bracing, it produces a warm, balanced tone with clear highs, focused mids and a tight low end that suits fingerstyle, strumming and everything in between.
When it is time to plug in, the LR Baggs Anthem system captures the natural acoustic character of the guitar with impressive realism. Whether you are performing on stage, recording at home or rehearsing with a band, you get a detailed, feedback resistant amplified sound that feels like your guitar, only louder. Premium touches like the ebony fretboard and bridge, Grover open gear tuners and TUSQ nut and saddle round out a highly spec’d instrument that punches well above its size.
Highland Series Craftsmanship
Ava Jr Live sits in Orangewood’s Highland collection, which focuses on all solid wood construction and thoughtful details. This gives you a more resonant, responsive instrument that will continue to open up over time, making it a long term companion rather than just a first step.
Comfortable Mini Grand Concert Body
The mini grand concert body shape offers a more compact feel that is easier to hold for long sessions, while still providing enough air volume for a full, articulate sound. It is ideal if you prefer a smaller guitar for home playing, songwriting or travel, but do not want to compromise on tone.
Torrefied Solid Spruce and Solid Mahogany Tonewoods
The torrefied solid Sitka spruce top has been carefully heat treated to emulate the characteristics of aged wood, giving you a quicker response and a more open, seasoned tone from day one. Combined with solid mahogany back and sides and scalloped X bracing, the result is a warm, balanced voice with excellent projection and dynamic range.
Stage Ready LR Baggs Anthem Electronics
Equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, Ava Jr Live is ready for any performance situation. The Anthem system blends microphone and pickup elements to deliver a natural, detailed amplified sound, so your guitar retains its acoustic character when plugged into a PA or acoustic amp.
Features
- Mini Grand Concert Body with Shorter Scale - The compact mini grand concert shape and 23.5 inch scale length offer a comfortable playing experience, making stretches easier and reducing fatigue. It is a great choice for smaller players, those who prefer a more intimate feel or anyone looking for a highly playable writing and performance tool.
- Torrefied Solid Sitka Spruce Top with Solid Mahogany Back and Sides - All solid wood construction with a torrefied spruce top delivers a mature, broken in tone with enhanced resonance and sustain. The spruce and mahogany pairing provides a versatile sound that works equally well for fingerpicking, flatpicking and strumming.
- LR Baggs Anthem Electro Acoustic System - The LR Baggs Anthem system captures the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with impressive clarity and realism. This gives you a professional quality plugged in sound that is ready for live gigs, studio sessions and home recording without the need for complex external processing.
- Premium Appointments and Hardware - An ebony fretboard and bridge, mother of pearl inlays and Grover open gear tuners provide a high end feel and reliable performance. The TUSQ nut and saddle help maximise sustain and tuning stability, so the guitar feels as refined as it sounds.
