An ideal all-in-one package for beginners. This complete set is designed for easy handling, making it the perfect entry point for those taking their first steps into the world of guitar-playing.

Ranger Series
The Ortega Guitars Ranger Series is truly captivating, thanks to its striking glossy top. The colorful tops, available in black, ocean blue, stained red, and platinum, beautifully complement the dark stained mahogany back and sides. The parlor-sized Ranger Series from Ortega features a short-scale neck adorned with bar inlays. Each guitar is also accompanied by a color matching gig bag for added convenience.
Thermo Series
Our new Thermo treated nylon string models are created with the use of a revolutionary technique that processes selected woods into “aged” Tonewoods. The woods are heated up in a vacuum with a special treatment to remove water and resin. The results are lightweight, harder, and stronger woods – a process that normally takes decades – but it retains a sensational response and tone. The process makes the spruce tops shine like amber which gives the additional vintage aesthetic. The new Thermo Series comes with the Ortega Pro gig bag included.
Performer Series
The Ortega Performer Series expands with two new models featuring solid European spruce and solid Canadian cedar tops. These tonewoods are renowned for their warm and expressive sound, and each offers unique characteristics. The spruce top enables a quick attack, making it suitable for fast playing styles, while the cedar top provides a softer accent, ideal for emphasizing delicate and nuanced playing. The back and sides are made of Indonesian rosewood, which not only enhances the guitar’s visual charm but also produces a full and balanced sound. The Performer Series guitars are a perfect pairing for musicians seeking exceptional sound quality and aesthetic elegance. To cater to musicians who perform on stage, they also come equipped with our built-in electronics with tuner and high-quality gig bag.
