Ortega Tourplayer Series RTPG-LS1 electric-acoustic classical guitar, grey burst

General

The Ortega TourPlayer Series RTPG-LS1 is an electric-nylon guitar that combines the best of both worlds. This is not just another classical guitar with an element, but a hybrid concept designed specifically for the flexible guitarist. Who want the warm sound of nylon, but expect the playing comfort and feedback-free behaviour of an electric guitar. The solid hollow-body construction (with no traditional sound hole) allows you to play at any volume without suffering from feedback. The thin body sits comfortably against your body, more like an electric guitar than the somewhat thicker classical ones. The solid spruce top with flamed maple veneer provides a rich, natural sound that is perfectly amplified via the Magus Grand preamp. And the grey burst design with high-gloss finish gives the guitar a subtle but tasteful look!

Large Scale neck with narrow nut

What stands out about the TourPlayer RTPG-LS1, is the nut width of 46 mm. This is narrower than a traditional classical guitar (often 52 mm), but wider than an electric guitar. So perfect for guitarists who don't want a huge, thick neck, but need the space to play nylon strings comfortably. The extra narrow neck profile and 650mm scale give you the familiar fingerpicking capabilities of classical, but with the accessibility of electric. With 22 frets, you also get more range than on a traditional classical guitar. Ideal for solos and modern playing styles!

Amplify with Magus Grand electronics

The Ortega Magus Grand rechargeable preamp is specifically designed to capture the natural resonance of nylon strings without sounding tinny or unnatural. Something that is a common problem with cheaper elements. You get the warmth and authenticity of acoustic nylon, but with full control over volume and tone. Easily add some bass or treble with the tone knobs, or tweak some volume if needed. You easily charge the preamp with a USB-C cable, so you never have to look for a 9V battery again! And extra handy: a sturdy gig bag is included. The RTPG-LS1 is for guitarists who want the warm nylon sound, but with the freedom and playability of a modern design.
