Solid wood, premium sound
Ortega know a thing or two about building classical guitars. Their magnificently crafted nylon string instruments are renowned for their beauty in both looks and sound. And this Javier Reyes Signature is no different. Its solid German spruce top blends the power and headroom of Adirondack spruce with a hint of subtle warmth, giving you a distinctive sound that is robust, mature, and will only get better with age.
Accompanying such a dazzling, durable top are solid cocobolo back and sides, promising a tone that closely resembles the sonic capabilities of koa and Brazilian rosewood. You'll have a deep, resonant low end combined with bright, sparkling trebles, making for superb, glistening articulation that responds to a range of playing styles.
Flawless, fearless fretting
...it's all possible when you have Indian rosewood lying lusciously underneath your fingertips and a solid mahogany neck on your palm. These two tonewoods complement each other exquisitely, allowing for the depth and warmth of mahogany to exude with the glistening clarity of rosewood. But the true beauty of the neck lies in its sleek, strong design. The 70mm nut width and wider neck profile accommodates its 8 strings, whilst still retaining that slick, playable feel that guitarists crave. The smooth surface of the rosewood fretboard then lends itself to quick, complex movement across the frets, so you can deliver your notes like seamless, soaring sparks.
Classical guitar at its finest
Comfortable playability and heavenly sound. Traditional design and innovative appointments. The Javier Reyes Signature epitomises the versatility that modern guitarists crave, and Reyes needs such versatility for his unique performances. This 8-string gem showcases a baritone scale and a classical body that has even been favoured by jazz and metal musicians, allowing you to delve into various genres with ease. What's more, the Venetian cutaway provides effortless access to the top frets, so you can deliver each note with clarity, absent of any buzz, muting, or strain.
Dazzling electronics, superb amplification
This Ortega diamond comes equipped with the popular LR Baggs Element pickup system, designed to respond to subtle sonic nuances. It alleviates the need for any unnecessary internal components, which, in turn, enhances the coupling between the pickup and the guitar. The sensitivity of the transducer is also improved for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and a delicate high end. As you play, the Element will capture and mirror the guitar's solid top movement, granting you a faithful response and sparkling amplification. Such exquisite electronics are perfect for gigging and recording musicians that require a professional performance every time.
