The Ortega Bonfire Series 6-string Acoustic Guitarlele Spruce RGL5
With fantastic brightness and a strong mid-range tone, this Bonfire Series guitarlele is made with a spruce top, sapele back/sides and mah0gany neck—all in natural satin finish. Top grade walnut is used for the fretboard and bridge that adds a high-end look with smooth feel. For visual elements, we used a photogenic tortoise style ABS binding and topped the body with a laser etched "Butterfly and Grass" design near the bridge.
Open gear machines add less weight to the headstock, allowing the neck to resonate more freely. This style of tuners also has a throwback look to create a subtle vintage vibe, and the pearl buttons add a tasteful, yet understated accent. Here, you can also see the mahogany neck and headstock with natural wood grain coming through.
The guitarlele size (scale 435 mm) blends crisp string articulation with full tonal development from the 68 mm deep body for a hybrid ukulele-guitar sound that can be used in virtually any setting. This unique scale makes for a perfect travel guitar that's fun and easy to play for all skill levels. The Bonfire Series guitarlele is equipped with six Ortega Guitars GLNY-6 guitarlele strings (tuned:A,D,G,C,E,A). These white nylon strings are designed for warmth and punchy tone.
