Construction and woods

Crafted with a solid spruce top, the Ortega RE238SN-BKT produces a crisp, articulate sound with impressive projection. The laminated mahogany back and sides round out the tone with warm, resonant mids, creating a versatile sound ideal for classical, flamenco, or modern fingerstyle. The mahogany neck offers a smooth feel, while the laurel fingerboard enhances comfort and tonal response. With a nut width of 48 mm, it caters especially well to players who prefer a slimmer classical neck profile.

Hardware and design

For reliable tuning and intonation, the guitar features a compensated saddle and a laurel bridge, while chrome-plated classical tuners keep the 6 nylon strings locked in tune. Visually, the Ortega RE238SN-BKT stands out with its striking black gloss top, beautifully framed by maple bindings. The soundhole rosette, made of walnut, maple, and mother-of-pearl, adds a touch of sophistication and contrasts gracefully with the dark top for an elegant stage presence.

Electronics

Equipped with the active Ortega MagusGo system, this guitar is stage-ready right out of the box. The undersaddle pickup delivers a natural and dynamic sound, while discreet volume and tone controls inside the soundhole allow seamless adjustments without interrupting the guitar’s clean aesthetic. Powered by a standard 9V battery, the system ensures reliable performance with a clear, uncolored signal ideal for both live and studio use.
