Ortega: a modern vision of the classical guitar since 1994
Founded in 1994, Ortega develops guitars inspired by traditional manufacturing methods, with a German design approach focused on innovation and quality control. The RST5MBK fits this philosophy: offering an accessible, reliable, and coherent instrument, designed to support progress while maintaining the essential features of a true classical guitar.
An ideal classical guitar for beginners and progressing nylon-string players
With its 52 mm nut width and 650 mm scale length, the RST5MBK meets the expected standards for classical guitars. It is well suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists who want to work on right-hand arpeggios, left-hand positioning, and intonation, while exploring styles such as classical, Latin, bossa nova, chanson, or fingerstyle accompaniment.
Sound
The spruce top provides a quick response and clear articulation, useful for highlighting notes in studies, melodies, and arpeggios. The catalpa back and sides complement the sound with a balanced tone, promoting a pleasant and even output for accompaniment. The sonokeling fingerboard and bridge enhance the feeling of precision under the fingers and contribute to a well-defined attack, appreciated for working on dynamics and nuances.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the most out of this classical guitar, choose a nylon string set for classical guitar (normal or high tension depending on your touch). A tuner and a guitar stand are also suitable without compatibility issues.
