An Ortega Designed in Germany, True to the Traditional Spirit


Founded in 1994, Ortega develops its guitars with an approach combining traditional manufacturing methods and German design. The goal is clear: to offer consistent, reliable, and well-finished instruments, with features usually reserved for higher-end ranges. Notably, it features a 12-hole bridge, a solution appreciated for clean string installation and good vibration transmission.



For Which Guitarists and Styles?


The Ortega RCE131 is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want a serious classical guitar, as well as stage musicians looking for an easy-to-handle electro-acoustic. Its cutaway makes it particularly comfortable for pieces with passages high up the neck. It is well suited for classical, soft flamenco, bossa nova, pop, and vocal accompaniment, both acoustically and plugged in.



Sound


The solid red cedar top provides a more immediate attack than a spruce top, with rich mids and a warm feel ideal for dynamics and fingerstyle playing. The mahogany back and sides enhance overall balance, with a smooth grain and good chord clarity. The flat fingerboard promotes comfort for classical style, while the sonokeling bridge contributes to precise and stable response. When amplified, the MagusPro system preserves a natural and usable tone for rehearsals and stage, with the built-in tuner allowing quick adjustments between songs.



Recommended Compatible Accessories


To protect your instrument daily, a guitar stand and a microfiber cloth are simple and universal additions. The included padded gig bag is ideal for transport and storage, especially for trips to lessons or rehearsals.
