Orlando Style 42 / neck Style 45, Brazilian rosewood, bar frets

Orlando

The Triple-O provides a link between the time of the early classic 12-fret guitars and the era of the steel string pioneers of the late ‘20s.

Details such as a 12-fret neck with a width of 1-7/8 inch, slotted headstock and pyramid bridge have their origin in the traditional design of the mid 19th century.

Originally built for steel strings only for a short time as a transitional model leading to the OM, our Orlando model brings this long forgotten construction concept into the present.
It has a very distinctive tone, with excellent separation and a very balanced and direct sound quality over the whole tone range.

Belly bridge, pick guard, narrower neck and bar frets are available as options.

Through building their own guitars in the style of traditional American steel string guitars and through specializing in the restoration and repair of American pre-war instruments, they realized how similar these guitars were to the traditional German guitars in construction and materials.

Their new Tuebingen workshop opened in 1996. As aficionados of old American guitars, they have been creating many replicas of these wonderful instruments, authentic not only in their looks, but also in design and construction.

In addition to that, Blazer & Henkes are also specialists for the creation of modern guitar design, delicate pearl inlays as well as for restoration and repair work of vintage guitars.
