Catalpa and spruce body
For the body of the Ortega RST5M-3/4OC, Ortega Guitars uses a combination of exotic and classic tonewoods. While the top of the 3/4 classical guitar is made of spruce, the back and sides are made of catalpa, which knows how to convince with its excellent sound characteristics. The classical guitar has a particularly brilliant sound with a lively response.
Ergonomic neck, harmonious hardware
For the neck of the Ortega RST5 Ortega uses classic mahogany with a walnut fingerboard. The ergonomic profile in combination with the impeccably executed fretting, the compact 590 mm scale and the narrow fretboard with a nut size of 45 mm allow very smooth playability with clean fingering. Furthermore, the Ortega RST5 is equipped with high-quality tuners that 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.
