Orangewood has leaned into the biggest modding trend of 2023 for the Juniper, a small-bodied acoustic guitar that comes straight from the factory floor with a rubber bridge and a set of Ernie Ball flatwounds, plus a number of features that makes this parlour one of the coolest new six-strings we have seen this year.
Juniper is a guitar channelling the summer of 2023, a time when TikTok was awash with tips for installing rubber bridges on our guitars, all to nail the naturally muted tone popularised by the likes of Phoebe Bridgers, Blake Mills and Madison Cunningham – not to mention through the efforts of Los Angeles-based luthier Reuben Cox, who is responsible for making these unorthodox designs a reality.
