4/4 classical guitar with solid spruce top, body made of mahogany, cutaway, Ortega Magus Pro-NL and Gigbag
With the RCE138-T4STR offered Ortega a concert guitar with a compact Thinline body, ideal for ergonomic use on stage. The amplified sound is provided by the in-house Magus Pro-NL pickup Ortega , which is located next to a built-in tuner, 3-Band EQ and phase switch, has a warm and open sound image. But it also has a Ortega RCE138-T4STR lot to offer acoustically. A solid spruce top on a body of laminated mahogany provides a broad and dynamic sound.
The gold-plated tuners keep the tuning clean, while a saddle width of 48mm ensures a pleasant playing feeling. In addition, a bone bridge insert provides optimum resonance transmission. With the cutaway it is also possible to play in the higher positions without any problems. Last but not least, one is already included in Gigbag the scope of delivery.
This Ortega RCE138-T4STR is a comfortably playable concert guitar with pickup system.

I bought now my first classical guitar after playing my different steel string guitars. I didn't want to sacrifice quality over price. This guitar looks good for the money.
After steel string guitars narrow neck I liked to choose more narrower then normal 52 mm neck. Ortega's 48 mm slim neck helps me to accommodate to classical. And this hybrid is beautifully made with a stunning warm sound.
Inbuilt tuner is easy to use and works well and very precisly. Only flaw was that guitar's action was way too high. I lowered the saddle for nearly 2 mm lower and now the action is better. The installed Savarez strings does'nt feel very good quality. Therefor I'm still going to switch to D'Addario EJ45 strings and at the same time bone saddle. Hope that this makes this guitar feel like much more expensive and even more fine for its price.
Overall, I am satisfied with this reasonably priced guitar. And a big thanks go to the MusicStore. The order went well and the shipment came quickly!

This guitar seems beautifully made and sounds wonderful. I have only had it for a few days but I am finding the slim neck, 48mm at the nut is extremely well suited to my smaller finger length. I am very happy with the purchase and competitive price paid. I have used it on facebook and it sounds great with lots of comments on the sound and look of the guitar. My only disappointment with the guitar is the very small fret markers fitted, they are difficult to see clearly for people with eye problems. this is only a minor point and does not detract from the quality of the instrument. Once again I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you Music Store. Cheers Bob J
