General

Stretched out on a beach, wearing nothing but vintage speedos and strumming a six-string; a six-string ukulele! The Ortega RGL5E electro-acoustic guitarlele is a twist on the standard Ortega RU5 and is a great sounding instrument anywhere, amplified or unplugged. The tuning is precisely that of a guitar so, if you're more familiar with guitars but want that definitive uke sound, the Ortega Bonfire RGL5E will practically hand you your dream. Built with a bright-sounding spruce top, finished with an ornamental engraving and ABS binding, this is also a serious member of the Bonfire Series. Plug it straight into an amp and the MagusUke preamplifier ensures big sound with plenty of warmth. You can even throw out your clip-in tuner since there's one built in to this versatile little instrument.

Ortega RGL5E Guitarlele (Spruce, Natural)
Wrote the following about Ortega RGL5E Guitarlele (Spruce, Natural)
Leuke combinatie van een gitaar en een ukulele. Door het elektro-akoestische ben ik helemaal verkocht van dit product.

Wrote the following about Ortega RGL5E Guitarlele (Spruce, Natural)
Ik ben er erg blij mee! Ziet er mooi uit en is net een slag groter dan mijn concert ukulele. Ik wou een groter uitdaging dan een ukulele en de guitalele was de oplossing! Zeker een aanrader de Ortega RGL5E guitarlele spar naturel. Hij is semi-akoestisch, dus je kan het ook aansluiten op een versterker of een effects pedal. Maar van nature klinkt hij ook zalig. Wat ik ook handig vindt, is dat je er een band aan kan koppelen die je over je heen draagt. Dat maakt het spelen van een snaarinstrument veel plezieriger.
