Oriental Cherry W-300 41″ Acoustic Guitar

The Oriental Cherry W-300 is a 41-inch acoustic guitar that sits in a unique “entry-level deluxe” category. It is produced by Guangzhou Huayi Musical Instruments, the same manufacturer behind the popular “Deviser” and “Caravan Music” brands.

While those other brands focus on the absolute cheapest starter instruments, the Oriental Cherry line is marketed as their “high-grade” or premium series, offering better aesthetics and slightly improved tonewoods.

Specifications

The “W-300-41” (41-inch) is typically a Dreadnought body style, which is the standard size for acoustic guitars, known for its loud volume and deep bass.

• Top/Back/Sides: Typically made of Dao wood (a striking, figured wood similar to Koa in appearance) or laminated Spruce.

• Body Construction: Laminated (Plywood). At this price point, you are getting layers of wood rather than a “solid top.” This makes the guitar very durable and resistant to humidity changes, though it won’t “age” or improve in sound like a solid-top guitar.

• Neck: Mahogany with a Rosewood or “Scientific Wood” fingerboard.

• Finish: High-gloss, often highlighting the natural grain of the exotic Dao wood.

• Hardware: Die-cast chrome tuners (which hold tune better than the open-gear tuners found on cheaper models).

Strengths:

• Stunning Visuals: The “Oriental Cherry” brand is famous for using highly figured woods that look much more expensive than they actually are.

• Build Quality: Better “fit and finish” than generic no-name guitars; the fretwork is usually smoother, and the binding is more precise.

• Durability: Laminated construction is rugged, making it a great “campfire guitar” or travel companion.

Is it right for you?

• Buy this if: You are a beginner who wants a guitar that looks beautiful and “expensive” on a budget, or if you need a sturdy second guitar for travel.

• Skip this if: You are a serious student with a slightly higher budget. For roughly $50–$100 more, you can get a Yamaha FG800 or Ibanez AW54, both of which feature Solid Wood Tops that provide a significantly better tone.
