Overview

An acoustic-electric classical guitar for warm, clear gigs.

The Ortega Traditional Series RCE180G Acoustic-Electric Classical Guitar blends traditional Spanish craftsmanship with premium tonewoods and modern performance features. Handmade in Spain, this nylon-string classical features a solid North American cedar top paired with bubinga back and sides, delivering a warm, articulate voice with rich low end and clear, responsive highs. With its full gloss finish, elegant maple binding and classical rosette, the RCE180G offers both refined tone and striking visual appeal for players at any level.

Premium Tonewoods for Rich Classical Tone

The RCE180G is built with a solid North American cedar top, a favorite among classical players for its warm, expressive response and quick attack. This is complemented by bubinga back and sides, which add depth, projection and a slightly enhanced low-end presence. The combination creates a balanced tonal profile that works well for everything from delicate fingerstyle passages to more dynamic performance styles. A mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard provide smooth playability and a comfortable feel across the entire fingerboard.

Stage-Ready Electronics With Built-In Tuner

Equipped with Ortega’s Magus Pro electronics system, the RCE180G is ready for live performance and recording applications. The onboard preamp allows you to shape your amplified tone with clarity and precision, while the integrated tuner ensures quick and accurate tuning on stage or in rehearsal. Whether plugged into an amp, PA system or recording interface, this system delivers a natural-sounding reproduction of the guitar’s acoustic character.

Handcrafted Design With Modern Features

True to Ortega’s Traditional Series, the RCE180G is handcrafted in Spain using time-honored building techniques combined with thoughtful modern upgrades. The Ortega 12-hole bridge design improves string stability and ease of restringing, while the full body depth enhances resonance and projection. A gloss finish throughout the body highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods, and a deluxe gig bag is included for convenient transport and protection. Experience the balance of tradition, tone and performance with the Ortega Traditional Series RCE180G Acoustic-Electric Classical Guitar.
