Product Ref: 116934
The Ortega TZSM features a solid spruce top which produces a broad dynamic range with a crisp, articulate tonal output, providing a rich, pleasing sound that only gets better with age. In addition, the TZSM's solid spruce top adds to the guitar's rich sonic performance and delivers a focused, clear sound with a warm mid-range and bright singing highs. Additionally, the tone produced is also ideal for the player craving versatility from a classical guitar, as the solid top is able to accommodate light to complex picking techniques as well as medium to heavier strumming patterns. Furthermore, the solid spruce top is attached to red gum back and sides which not only offer a striking visual appeal, but projects a well-balanced and defined tone with a bright attack. Together this versatile mixture of tonewoods is ideal for Spanish, flamenco and classical genres as well as being able to accommodate a wide variety of playing styles.
The Ortega TZSM Electro Nylon features a traditional classical cutaway body, offering comfort with an idyllic response to picking techniques, perfect for the player craving a classical instrument with a solid top. This type of guitar is built specifically to handle classical, Spanish, and flamenco-inspired genres while being perfect for experimenting with a variety of fingerpicking techniques. In addition, the classical body combined with its pleasing mixture of tonewoods projects a well-balanced sound, perfect for arpeggios and many other techniques. Furthermore, the TZSM provides a comfortable playing experience due to its curvaceous classical shape being easy to hold close to the body throughout long practice sessions. For added comfort, the Ortega TZSM features a Venetian cutaway, providing easy access to upper frets and allowing for more technical skills to be performed higher up the fingerboard with ease.
Equipped with Fishman electronics, the Ortega TZSM is perfect for live and studio work, as well as amplified rehearsals. The Ortega TZSM features an on-board Fishman Clasica Blend preamp system that is voiced specifically for nylon-strung guitars, perfect for projecting each subtle nuance of a player's individual style. Additionally, the Clasica Blend features rotary controls for volume, bass, middle, treble, notch, and mic blend, providing tone shaping options for live performance and studio settings. The preamp also features a phase button for reducing undesirable feedback when plugged-in. Furthermore, the Fishman Clasica also features an on-board chromatic tuner which provides precise and easy tuning on-the-go.
Constructed from mahogany, the TZSM's neck provides a quick and dynamic response while adding warmth and resonance to the guitar's sound. Mahogany's nature allows it to respond greatly to numerous playing styles, accommodating both fingerpicking and strumming techniques equally-well. The neck also features a satin finish, preventing sticky gig hands and enabling mahogany's natural tone to come alive. In addition, the neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard, accommodating percussive techniques whilst adding superb sustain with a bright attack and plenty of bite to the guitar's overall sound. Lastly, the ebony fingerboard features a curved profile, offering comfort in each position up and down the fingerboard.
