Thermo Series: The Character of "Aged" Woods from the First Chord
At the heart of the Thermo Series, Ortega applies a controlled thermal treatment that dries and stabilizes the woods to evoke the responsiveness of naturally aged tonewoods. The torrefied spruce soundboard thus offers the sensation of a "broken-in" guitar right out of the case, with an amber visual glow highlighting its premium aesthetics.
Who Is It For and Which Styles?
Designed for intermediate to advanced classical guitarists, this 4/4 electro-acoustic also suits ambitious students seeking a stage-ready guitar. It excels in classical repertoire, bossa nova, chanson, Latin/fingerstyle, and acoustic pop. The cutaway facilitates access to higher positions, while the double-action truss rod allows optimizing the action according to your touch.
Sound
The solid torrefied spruce top delivers attack, clarity, and projection, with a quick response under the fingers. The Pao Ferro back and sides add precise lows, present mids, and bright highs for a balanced and modern tone. The torrefied components (neck, fingerboard, bridge) enhance sustain and tuning stability. Plugged in, the Ortega Magus Pro/G electronics faithfully reproduce the acoustic color of the instrument for studio or stage use.
