A Modern Flamenca in the Ortega Tradition
Since 1994, Ortega has combined traditional luthiery with German design. The RCE170F-L is part of the brand's electro-acoustic flamenco range: a guitar designed for the stage, respecting the codes of the "blanca" flamenca while integrating modern solutions for reliability and comfort.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Designed for demanding left-handed players, this guitar suits intermediate to advanced musicians seeking a responsive instrument. Ideal for flamenco (rasgueados, picado, alzapúa), it also excels in rumba, Latin pop, or amplified acoustic accompaniment thanks to its cutaway and onboard electronics.
Sound Characteristics
The solid spruce top provides clarity, projection, and attack precision, essential for compás. The cypress back and sides enhance the characteristic dryness of the "blancas," with controlled bass and sculpted trebles. The 12-hole bridge increases the string break angle for a quick response and better energy transfer. When plugged in, the EQ MagusPro delivers a natural sound with built-in equalizer and tuner to adapt instantly to the venue.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Choose medium to high tension flamenco nylon strings to preserve responsiveness. A flat classical guitar capo (suitable for non-radius fingerboards) fits perfectly the 52 mm nut width. Add a soundhole humidifier to stabilize the instrument and a footrest for optimal posture. The included padded gig bag offers effective daily protection.
