With the Ortega TZSM/2 4/4 classical guitar, the fingerstyle wizard Thomas Zwijsen now receives an extraordinary signature model, constructed entirely according to his requirements. This fully solid guitar comes with a Canadian spruce top and a spalted maple body, which produce a particularly bright, clear, but also bassy sound with quick response. A comfortably shaped mahogany neck with maple fingerboard, a scale length of 650 mm and a nut width of 48 mm makes even the most difficult riffs become child's play. The guitar furthermore features a Fishman Clásica Blend pickup system and includes a gig bag.
Thanks to its composition of solid woods, the rather flat body can produce a powerful and balanced sound. The top made of Canadian spruce produces a very clear and precise sound in the high frequencies and is complemented by a bass-rich maple body which makes for a very fast response. Thanks to a natural matt finish, the distinct grain of the maple wood stands out visually, giving each instrument an individual touch.
The robust mahogany neck featuring a light maple fingerboard catches the eye of the beholder particularly quickly. With a narrow saddle width of 48 mm, the light-colored neck can be played especially fast and effortlessly and, paired with the cutaway, enables the player to easily reach up to the highest of the 19 frets. A flat neck profile in combination with a moderate fretboard radius rounds off the playing experience perfectly, just as Thomas Zwijsen intended.
Not only in terms of sound and appearance does the Ortega TZSM/2 prove that it is made to the specifications of a virtuoso guitar player. A high quality Mother of Pearl soundhole periphery with alternating walnut and maple and a custom logo with crown and signature on the back of the headstock show that the manufacturer has looked into fine details to reflect the artist's merits. A high quality Fishman Clásica Blend pickup system with XLR output allows for trouble-free use on stage, even without a D.I. box. The guitar comes in a padded Thomas Zwijsen signature gig bag.
