Ortega uses classic mahogany with a rosewood fretboard for the Ortega RST5 neck. The ergonomic profile in combination with the flawless fret, the compact 560 mm scale length and the narrow fretboard with a saddle size of 43.5 mm allows an extremely soft playability with a clean fingering. In addition, the Ortega RST5 is equipped with high-quality mechanics in nickel look, which promise long lasting playing pleasure with high tuning stability.
I brought this for my Stepson who is learning guitar and had the 3/4 size guitar he started with stolen from School. The guitar has a quality feel, with a low-action comfortable neck and great tuners. The sound is warm and balanced and suited to bossa nova. Hard to fault at this price point.
