Some background on Orville:
Orville if you do not already know is the name of the founder of Gibson. Orville started in 1988. When Gibson saw that they had the potential to make copies like that others that started the Fender copies, they followed Fender's foot steps in commissioning them to make lower, more affordable grades of Gibson. Their factory was located in the FujiGenGakki plant along side many other famous Japanese brands. Subsequently, in the later part of the 90's Gibson stopped commissioning Orville to make lower grades guitar and started Epiphone. In this season, all knowledge and skill of making these copies were transferred from Orville to the guys in Epi.
Epiphone quality management was just as superb as Orville in the early stages, however this control began to decline at the later part. The early Epiphones (identified by the exact Gibson headstock design) are great, however I feel Epi of today (their own headstock) does not come close to Orville's Standard. My advice is to get an Orville if you can afford or find a piece.
The guitar market is treating the Orville brand as a collector's item. These guitars are rare and it's price are escalating due to collector's interest. Don't be surprised if you find them close to the price of a Gibson.
Thanks a lot! please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Please
