NGD Second Orpheum
A 12 fret Orpheum dread is on its way to be a companion for my OOO 12 fret I got in the spring. After 60 years of playing, these are my first 12 fret steel string guitars. Because I've played a lot of classical music over the last 45 years, I am used to the "limits" of 12 frets. With any luck it will be in my hands by this Saturday! Of course, to make room I am selling my F40 (see bump in For Sale section https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...91#post6558591 )

Great guitars. Wish I still had mine. It had the most lovely mahogany back and sides I have ever seen on a guitar.
Alas, the neck, at 1.8", was just a tad too wide for me. But the tone of that thing still haunts me.

I'm a big fan of Guild guitars, and would love to play an Orpheum. But you just don't see them around here. I'd have to buy one just to get to play one.
Hmmm.

I've heard nothing but great things about the Guild Orpheum! I even saw a forum member post that he had an Orpheum 12 string... would give my left arm for one of those! Although that may limit my playing....
Enjoy yours!

Congrats. I would love to get a chance to kick the tires of an Orpheum. I thought about going with an Orpheum or a Gibson Stage Deluxe to join my 12 fret L1 but ended up settling in with a Fairbanks Smeck.
