A Modern Flamenca in the Ortega Spirit
Founded in 1994, Ortega has built a reputation by combining traditional manufacturing methods with German design, with constant attention to innovation and quality control. The RCE170F follows this logic: a flamenco guitar designed for contemporary playing, featuring practical choices like the cutaway and built-in electronics, while retaining details appreciated by classical guitarists, such as the 12-hole bridge that has become a brand signature.
For Whom and Which Styles?
The Ortega RCE170F is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive flamenco guitar, as well as stage musicians who need reliable electronics daily. It excels in flamenco (rasgueados, picados, golpes) and is well suited for percussive accompaniments, Latin colors, and amplified contexts where a clear attack and good control are desired.
Sound
The solid spruce top provides a quick response and great precision: attacks stand out clearly, with beautiful projection and dynamics ideal for flamenco techniques. The cypress back and sides reinforce the typical "flamenco" character: a more direct sound, less rounded than a rosewood classical guitar, with tight bass and incisive trebles. The cutaway facilitates playing high up the neck without hindering the right hand, and the MagusPro electronics allow this character to be preserved when amplified, while benefiting from a built-in tuner to save time between songs.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes with a padded gig bag, convenient for travel and daily protection.
