Title: Reverb "Orion" clone...
Post by: briant on April 23, 2026, 05:09:04 PM
Looks like the only thing Alembic on this dumpster fire are the pickups; which are mounted incorrectly.

Orion Clone - Quilted Maple sounds and plays great | Reverb (https://reverb.com/item/96147749-orion-clone-quilted-maple-sounds-and-plays-great)

It amazes me how much wiggle room some people offer themselves in their descriptions.

Before surgery, this used to be a mid-priced Yamaha.  I'm surprised they left the 'Olympic' decal off the head.

Well, my Orions have always sounded clean and refined, but, i'm sure I just heard them both screaming obscenities as I opened the link.  🫣🤬I think some TLC is due later.

Same.  I've been half-ass looking for a fretless Orion or one that I would have converted.  I can't decide if I want a 4 or 5 string, hence the current "half-ass" approach.  I've stumbled upon some things on Reverb.  Things like the topic of this thread.
