The Ortega R131SN is a surprisingly capable student-level classical guitar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar generally produces a warmer, more mellow tone than spruce, with more immediate response. Spruce offers more projection and brightness, but cedar’s warmth is lovely for classical pieces.
The mahogany neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, which should be comfortable for most hand sizes, though it’s not particularly wide or thin.
The build is solid for the price; expect decent craftsmanship, but don't anticipate the meticulous attention to detail found on higher-end instruments.
