Ortega Rce138-T4 Spruce Thin Black

A modern classical signed Ortega, between tradition and innovation

Founded in 1994, Ortega develops guitars inspired by traditional lutherie methods, while bringing a German design approach focused on quality and innovation. The RCE138 fits within this philosophy, with choices made for today's guitarists: playing comfort (Slim Neck, thin body), practicality (electronics with tuner), and refined details such as the 12-hole bridge, which has become a functional signature of the brand.

For whom? A comfortable electro-classical for stage and studio

The RCE138 is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a classical guitar that is easy to handle, both for daily practice and on stage. Its thin body and cutaway will appeal to musicians accustomed to more "electric" formats and playing high up the neck. It excels in pop, latin, fingerstyle, vocal accompaniment, and more generally wherever a clean and controlled amplified nylon sound is sought.

The sound

The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, a quick attack, and beautiful note-to-note precision, particularly appreciated in arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. The sapele back and sides balance the overall sound with present mids and a homogeneous response, ideal for fitting well in a mix. The thin body enhances comfort and promotes a controlled amplified output, while the Ortega MagusPro EQ allows easy adjustment of equalization and volume, with the advantage of a built-in tuner to stay in tune under all circumstances.
