Description

The Ortega Traditional Series R225G 7/8 Size Classical Guitar offers authentic Spanish craftsmanship in a slightly more compact format, making it an excellent choice for players seeking comfort without sacrificing tone. Handmade in Spain, this model features a solid North American cedar top paired with grenadillo back and sides, delivering a warm, responsive voice with rich projection and clarity. Its 7/8 size body provides a more approachable feel for smaller players or those who prefer a more compact classical guitar, while still maintaining full, balanced sound.

Solid Cedar Top With Grenadillo Back and Sides

The R225G features a solid North American cedar top, known for its warm, expressive tone and quick response to fingerstyle playing. Paired with grenadillo back and sides, this guitar offers enhanced depth, projection and tonal complexity, with a focused low end and articulate highs. This combination makes it well-suited for classical repertoire, as well as modern fingerstyle and expressive solo playing. The gloss finish not only highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods but also supports resonance and sustain.

Comfortable 7/8 Size With Traditional Feel

Designed with a 7/8 body size and a 24.09" scale length, the R225G provides a slightly more compact playing experience while retaining the feel and response of a full-size classical guitar. The mahogany neck with a gloss finish offers a smooth, comfortable grip, while the rosewood fretboard and 1.89" nut width provide familiar spacing for accurate fingerstyle technique. This makes the guitar ideal for developing players, smaller hands or anyone seeking a more relaxed playing experience without compromising tonal quality.

Handcrafted Design With Classic Appointments

True to Ortega’s Traditional Series, the R225G features a Spanish heel construction for enhanced stability and resonance, along with refined visual details like maple binding and a traditional Spanish-style rosette. The Ortega 12-hole bridge improves string stability and simplifies restringing, while high-quality classical tuning machines ensure reliable tuning. A deluxe gig bag is included for convenient transport and protection, making this guitar a complete package for practice, performance and travel.
