Great romantic guitar by José Ortega - a piece of 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 Segovia's first concert guitar.
His guitars are built in the style of Torres guitars with fan bracing. His craftsmanship is of the best of the time.
The famous Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca owned an Ortega guitar, which is kept in a museum in Granada.
This guitar is typical of Ortega's work. It has smaller sides, which can also be found on the Torres guitar SE 04. It has 5-fret bracing with a beautiful spruce top and cypress back and sides. The scale length is 613 mm and the nut width is 50 mm.
You can imagine the incredible sound of this guitar just by looking at the pictures.
The woods are of course wonderfully mature after 130 years and produce an incredibly beautiful vintage sound. The guitar responds immediately and has a great resonance, which creates a beautiful raw sound. It has the most beautiful timbres and is something special through and through.
The guitar is comparable to the best you know from Torres.
The instrument is in „restored original condition“ - which means that great care has been taken not to alter the substance.
