Ortega Americana Series RRG60E electric-acoustic resonator guitar

General

A resonator guitar sounds different from a regular acoustic guitar, and that's exactly the point. Instead of a soundbox that amplifies the sound, the Ortega Americana Series RRG60E uses an aluminium resonator cone that transforms the vibration of the strings into that typical nasal twang with lots of overtones. That makes resonator guitars popular in blues, bluegrass and folk, but also if you're just looking for a distinct, characterful sound. Whereas resonator guitars are normally only partly made of metal, this one has a completely solid metal body in antique brushed finish. This gives it a sharper, harder sound profile than wooden-body resonators, with more sustain and a cutting touch. Perfect for slide-guitar, blues, country and bluegrass, for example!

Playable and stage-ready

The mahogany neck with extra narrow neck and rosewood fingerboard make the RRG60E remarkably comfortable to play, even for those used to a standard acoustic or electric guitar. You easily amplify the resonator guitar with the passive dual blend pickup. With the volume, blend and tone controls, adjusting your sound in detail is a piece of cake. And for travelling, Ortega also supplies a handy gig bag, so you can take the guitar safely with you straight away. With the Ortega Americana Series RRG60E you get a premium resonator guitar that will stand out both in sound and appearance thanks to its all-metal construction.
