The Ortega RCE138SN-L Lefthand is a stage- and studio-suitable left-handed concert guitar in "Slim Neck" design, which combines high playing comfort with first-class sounds. By combining a solid spruce top with a laminated mahogany back and sides, the guitar achieves a lively and appealing sound, which is also excellently reflected in the ensemble with dense bass, warm mid-range and a silvery treble spectrum. Thanks to the reduced saddle width of 48 mm, the mahogany neck offers smooth playability, while the cutaway of the body also allows solo excursions into the high positions of the Blackwood fingerboard. The Ortega RCE138SN-L Lefthand is also equipped with the Ortega MagusPro-NL pickup system for direct pickup of the guitar signal on stage or in the recording studio, which provides a particularly natural and dynamic sound reproduction.
Ortega RCE138SN-L LefthandI 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.
