Ortega RRG30E-WB Acoustic-Electric Resonator Guitar – Whiskey Burst
Vintage Blues Character, Distinctive Resonator Tone, and Modern Versatility
Experience the unmistakable sound of American roots music with the Ortega RRG30E-WB Americana Series Acoustic-Electric Resonator Guitar. Featuring a beautiful Distressed Satin Whiskey Burst finish, traditional resonator construction, and built-in electronics, this guitar brings vintage-inspired style and expressive tone to blues, bluegrass, folk, country, and Americana music.
At the heart of the RRG30E-WB is its aluminum resonator cone, which produces the bright, metallic twang, rich overtones, and distinctive projection that make resonator guitars so recognizable. Whether you're playing traditional Delta blues, fingerstyle arrangements, or expressive slide guitar, this instrument delivers the authentic resonator character musicians love.
The mahogany top, back, sides, and neck provide a warm tonal foundation that complements the lively sound of the aluminum cone. Its compact parlor-style body offers comfortable handling, while the Blackwood fingerboard and shorter 628 mm scale length create an inviting playing experience.
For added versatility, Ortega equips the RRG30E-WB with a passive lipstick-style pickup and dedicated volume and tone controls. Connect to an amplifier or compatible sound system to bring your resonator sound to rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances.
Finished in a beautifully weathered Whiskey Burst satin finish, the RRG30E-WB captures the appearance and musical spirit of a well-loved vintage instrument while offering practical modern features.
