Orangewood unveils an upgraded version of their popular Juniper Rubber Bridge guitar.
The company has made noticeable upgrades to the instrument, developing a more versatile and professional instrument for those who are looking for the unique rubber bridge sound. The Juniper II Rubber Bridge model is available in all Mahogany and Satin Black. It is also available in a baritone scale in Satin Black.
Even after the initial success of the first Juniper model, the Orangewood team continued to explore different ways to improve the instrument. Shortly after launching the first Juniper model, the team started testing a number of pickups to find the right pickup that could add more clarity to the muted tone so that the rubber bridge sound could mix even better in a live or recording environment. The team landed on the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails® pickup, and also added a coil split function and a tone control knob – making it a versatile and exceptional rubber bridge instrument. Additionally, the highly requested baritone scale version was added to the collection.
In order to accentuate the vintage-inspired aesthetics, the Juniper II models now feature oversized dot inlays and a diamond trapeze tailpiece. Strung with premium flatwound strings, Juniper II also features Grover open-gear tuners for excellent tuning stability and vintage-style cupcake knobs for volume and tone controls.
