Key Features
The Ortega JRSM-RWC Javier Reyes 8-String Electro Nylon is designed for dreamy, professional performances, offering an expertly built solid wood construction combined with responsive LR Baggs electronics. A hybrid of both traditional Spanish influences and metal riffing, Javier Reyes's work in Animal as Leaders and Mestis has made him renowned for his innovative 8-string playing. He needs a comfortable classical instrument that has the versatility to master various genres, whilst a wide, sleek neck allows for seamless fretting - this Signature guitar is the very embodiment of such sumptuous playability.
A dark, enticing, beautifully rich tone flows gorgeously from a solid Canadian cedar top, its sound making any fingerstyle technique shine with clarity and depth. You'll then have the brilliantly balanced response of solid Madagascar rosewood back and sides promising articulation across the whole frequency range. The beauty of rosewood lies partly in its ability to deliver crystal-clear brightness balanced with wonderfully complex resonance. And thanks to LR Baggs Element electronics, plugging in and giving your performance a boost is easy; you can count on sparkling, supreme amplification. A road case is also included, ensuring your prized guitar stays in pristine condition.

Superior sonic performance. It's the kind of magic that can only be achieved with the most premium of builds. And with a solid Canadian cedar top and solid Madagascar rosewood back and sides, the Javier Reyes signature is certainly one of those builds. Cedar tends to be less stiff than other tonewoods and has an idyllic tone that is perfect for complex picking techniques, responding to soft, light fingerstyle playing with richness, depth, and supreme quality of sound.
You'll then have the beautifully balanced tone of rosewood ensuring your sonic response is even across the frequency range. Expect a deep, warm, resonant bass response and glistening, crystal-clear trebles. It's the classical sound of dreams.
...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.
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.
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.
