Hello Mr. J. Orozco and fellow Orozco guitar owners,
I have one from "1979" with the number "15-u-89." Its the best classical guitar I've ever had - It plays and sounds great (in my humble opinion)! I would like to know if Mr. Orozco (and/or others here) can tell me if the back and sides are laminated or solid. Its hard to tell just by looking inside because it has finish and is dark. Its a bit of a mistery to me. The guitar has a very immediate response so I suspect it is laminate back/sides but I'm no expert so I can be wrong here. Thank you very much for a great guitar, Mr. Orozco! And thank you to everyone here for this J. Orozco guitar info.
Cheers,
Ramon

I also help them design the guitar that has my name .The Kohno - Sakuray guitar we used to fabricate in a small shop in the company of Hoshino Gakki ten. These company produced the acoustic and electrical guitars on the name Ibanez and the main business is TAMA DRUMS. After we negotiated he decided it to produced the guitar Juan Orozco, in the same shop.This company used to make 175 Guitars a month, witch 100 of them were coming to Juan Orozco ,40 of them with the name of Kohno and 35 with the name Sakuray and just so you know they are the same Guitars, The only thing is that in the last years that we did this together,I've accomplish that they put my head design on the Guitars that would come with my name. Here you'll find 3 pages with the pictures of my Guitars. The model's we've design for me are the model # 8 - # 10 - # 15. One thing that you said that I thing is thru about the Ramirez guitar,because you're not the only one that say's that, I have many, many letters with the same opinion you have about the Juan Orozco Guitars.

Tenho uma guitarra comprada no Brasil em 1986 em uma grande loja chamada Mappin.
Essa guitarra tem um cod number no NECK JO 0810327. Já vi uma igual a minha para vender na EBAY com um cod.number JO 0810318.
Depois disso que descobri que minha guitarra pode ser uma Orozco.
Gostaria de saber se alguem sabe se Mr.Orozco vendeu guitarras para o Brasil nos anos de 1985.

Juan Orozco Model 15 from 1979 for sale
Hello Classical Guitar lovers. I have a 1979 Juan Orozco Guitar model 15-U-4 that I bought used from a guitar store in Manhattan in the summer of 1980. It had a few deep scratches in the table below the saddle but those blemishes did not effect the wonderful sound of the instrument. I have had it now for 31 years and during that time it has gotten a lot of use, and has some additional blemishes on the table, but again nothing that effects its sound. I had it retrofitted with a transducer pickup under the saddle that allows it to be amplified, but it can be played just as easily without being amplified (you would never know the pickup was there except for the input jack at the tail where I have a strap attached for playing while standing).
While I really hate parting with such an old friend, I have a need to do so, I saw that someone has the same model as mine and they are asking $4,975. I also saw that a similar guitar (1980 model 15) was placed on E-Bay asking $2,175 and it is in better condition than mine (only one blemish on the table). However no one offered to buy it. I am asking $1,500 for mine and can provide photos of it and even a short video where you can hear the sound quality. I really need to sell this lovely instrument a.s.a.p. I live in South Carolina but will ship the guitar wherever necessary. It comes with a case, string winder, tuning fork, Wittner metronome, two capos, an extra set of D'Adario long life strings, two cables, wire cutters, and a polishing cloth. My email address is "paulandleanne08@aol.com" I will accept payment via paypal or western union (cash). I hope to hear from someone very soon. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Paul Cohen

Re: J Orozco Guitars
: Hello Mr. J. Orozco and fellow Orozco guitar owners,
: my name is Mathew and I am only 16 years old. Yesterday I was in Brooklyn visiting my grandparents. When I walked into the basement I stumbled upon an old beat up hardshell case. In it was one of your guitars. I happen to be a bassist, but I also like to play classical guitar. So I picked it up and it played beautifly. I have never heard a better tone from a classical guitar. Anyway, I cheched on the label and it said 1980, Luthier, and the ID was 15-11-54. It got me wondering about the worth on it and or the history behind it. I also have no intention on selling this guitar. I plan on keeping it and passing it down as a family heirloom. If you can give me some info on this guitar that would be awesome. Thank you.

The label in my wife's guitar says "Guitarra Fabricada Para La Casa" (different type) "Jose Orozco" Model #5 1970 with the 111 West 48th Street address in New York". This guitr doesn't seem to have either of the names (Kohno or Sakuray)mentioned by Juan in his email above on the label. My wife and I were students in Manhattan at the time and she was interested in learning guitar. (Her first instrument is violin, but preferred and taught herself - mostly - piano.) She hasn't been able to play the guitar much in the intervening years, but she "loves" the sound of her guitar. I wonder where and how this Model falls into the picture? Anybody know?
Thanks.

Thanks DoucheBag for butchering my Orozco worth 2-$3000.
His name is bernie lehmann of rochester NY. He thinks he can build a guitar but he only builds furniture that looks like a guitar. All his guitar Sounds like SHiT. Stick to furniture building buddy.
Re: J Orozco Guitars
: Hello Mr. J. Orozco and fellow Orozco guitar owners,
I have a J. Orozco No.50 and can't seem to find anything about it. Like what kind of wood it's made of and what kind of wood is the finger board. Some people at the local music store keep telling me it's made in Valencia. Is that true?
thanks for such a great guitar!

Re: J Orozco Guitars
I found a Juan Orozco guitar made in Urugay. Is this luthier related?

Hi Hugo
Your guitar is from Juan Orozco III., probably from his father Juan Orozco II. who also made guitars in Uruguay.
You may register your instrument on http://www.artesanoguitars.com/, a website about Juan Orozco's latest guitar series Artesano. The registration is possible for all guitars brands he established: J. Orozco, Juan Orozco, Aranjuez and Artesano. An OwnersClub will follow soon.
Best
