Description
Jose Ortega 1894 – great handmade Spanish guitar in Antonio de Torres style – a piece of guitar history and a rare opportunity!
José Ortega was taught by his father Juan, together with Benito Ferrer, the founder of the Ferrer dynasty in Granada and luthier of Andrés Segovias first concert guitar.
His guitars are made in the style of Torres’ guitars. His crafsmanship is of the best of that time.
The famous spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca owned an Ortega guitar, which is kept in a museum in Granada.
This guitar is typical for Ortega’s work. It has smaller sides, which can also be found on Torres guitar SE 04. It has a nice spruce top, a cypress back and sides of pearwood. The scale length is 575 mm and the nut width 48 mm.
You can already imagine the unbelievable sound of this guitar just by looking at it.
The woods are of course wonderfully mature after 130 years and produce an incredibly beautiful vintage sound. The guitar is light like a feather and reacts immediately to the players touch. It has a great resonation, which produces a nice raspy sound. This guitar produces the most beautiful timbres and is something special through and through.
This great guitar is completely comparable with the best you know from Torres.
The instrument is in “restored original condition” – which means: great importance has been given to not change the substance.
