Amazing that Orlando is not a brand recognized by eBay's listing tool as they are well-made guitars from the MIJ era. This Model 304 has a solid cedar top with multilayered purfling with binding and an inlaid rosette. The top is flawless and wear is minimal in other areas with only light scratches and a few small dinks and scuffs. The fret wires have been crowned and polished. The bone saddle is new with action set at 3.5 mm on the 12th fret for the 6th string and 3.25 mm for the 1st string, with room to take the action lower, though it is set comfortably within the lower range of classical parameters. Due to the quality of the laminates used in Japan, I cannot say whether the back and sides are solid or laminated, but regardless, the mahogany is strikingly beautiful. Interior photos of the guitar are included so you can see the inside faces of the back and side woods. The back is also framed with multilayered purfling and binding. The neck is mahogany and it is of one piece with the headstock (not jointed). The fretboard is Brazilian rosewood as is the bridge and the headstock overlay. New Wayfinder by Gator light duty gig bag and new electronic clip-on tuner included as well as a vintage guitar strap (strap button on bottom-side of guitar). Tonally and aesthetically, a beautiful guitar.
