Orangewood Mason Live Nylon-String Cedar Grand Auditorium Cutaway Electro Acoustic Guitar in Natural Gloss is an acoustic guitar.

Description

Designed in Los Angeles, the Orangewood Mason Live Nylon-String encapsulates the soul of a traditional nylon-strung acoustic guitar but offers it in a more modern, cutaway Grand Auditorium acoustic body shape. Favoured by many due to its big, balanced tone, this mid-sized acoustic is often regarded as the ultimate all-rounder acoustic guitar.

The Mason Live features a solid Cedar top, which helps to provide a warm, resonant tone with a clear attack. Its Ebony fingerboard adds an extra layer of articulation to this nylon-string acoustic’s tone, and thanks to its Fishman Flex Plus-T EQ pickup and preamp system with built-in tuner, dialling in your perfect live sound couldn’t be easier!

More info about this Product

Classical Guitars

Classical guitars use nylon strings and a wider neck to produce a warm, rounded tone with excellent clarity and touch sensitivity. They are traditionally associated with classical and flamenco music, but are also widely used in folk, jazz, and contemporary styles. The lower string tension makes them comfortable to play and well suited to fingerstyle techniques and expressive dynamics. Classical guitars offer an intimate, natural sound that encourages precision, control, and a close connection between the player and the instrument.

Electro-Acoustic

Electro-acoustic guitars are acoustic instruments fitted with built-in pickups or microphones that allow them to be amplified or connected directly to a PA system or amplifier. They retain the natural acoustic tone and feel of a traditional acoustic guitar while adding the convenience of onboard electronics.

They are commonly used for live performance and recording, especially in situations where consistent volume and clarity are needed. Electro-acoustic guitars often include controls for volume and tone, and sometimes built-in tuners, making them a practical choice for gigging musicians who want an acoustic sound with modern flexibility.

Gloss Finish

Natural

Natural guitars showcase the beauty of the wood itself, with finishes that highlight the grain, colour, and character of each piece. Favoured by players who appreciate simplicity and authenticity, natural finishes let the instrument’s craftsmanship and tonewoods speak for themselves. Whether it’s the warm glow of mahogany or the bright shimmer of maple, a natural guitar has a timeless, organic look that never goes out of style. These instruments often feel more connected to their acoustic roots, offering both visual elegance and a sense of purity that appeals to musicians across all genres.
