I'm very interested in the Orpheum Orchestra 12 fret but I haven't been able to find one to play. I've exhausted the you tube videos listening to the tone which is quite nice as well as are the comments of those who play them.
I also did a search of all the discussions on this web site and in two different cases there were comments about the neck being kind of big. I'm trying to quote "one of y'all said it is baseball or baseball bat like." I forget the wording on the other comment that caught my attention maybe it was that the neck was "beefy." I'm not concerned about the nut width at 1-13/16 because that is what I have been looking for. I am trying to get a sense of the neck profile tho.
Since I have the D25 could any of you with an Orpheum tell me how it compares to the neck on the D25? I'm assuming that the jumbo and the slope d also have the same neck. BTW I've seen the comment that it is a soft-V but that doesn't mean anything to me so far. I also have a Taylor 414 if that help for a comparison point for me.
Anyway I appreciate your comments and thoughts, thanks
