I found this guitar by chance. Whilst searching for a nylon string guitar that was a little shorter than standard scale (for my wife's short finger reach) but still of acceptable 'adult guitar' quality for me to play too, I was searching for reviews of the usually-cheaper Ortega sibling the R121 7/8. I noticed that for some odd reason Amazon had one R221 7/8 in stock in black, new, direct from Amazon not a marketplace trader, for £100.20 instead of the usual £210+ price. So cheaper than the R121. Maybe that price was a mistake or maybe Amazon were struggling to shift it due to the only existing review being for a harsh 2 stars. Knowing that Ortega have overwhelmingly positive reviews for many similar models,and seeing good ratings for this model on a well known German site, I was willing to gamble at that price.So I give this 5 stars as a £100 guitar. I would probably give it 4 stars as a £200 guitar, as there were a few minor finish imperfections - a few spots of chipped lacquer noticeable upon close inspection. More importantly though, I love the tone, and I was surprised at how great the sustain is for a guitar that is not a solid top. It's great to get decent strings already fitted on a guitar at this price, and the 12 hole bridge is a great feature for when they need replacing - reducing the usual faff of nylon restringing.If I was in the market for another Spanish style guitar in future, I would be happy to consider Ortega again.

I bought the 3/4 r121 Ortega in wine red from the Amazon Warehouse. It said it would have some minor blemishes. I chose this guitar because the nut width is only 45mm and I know that can not play a classical guitar with even a 48mm nut (standard nut size is 52mm) so finding this guitar was a real stroke of luck for me. Well, on inspection I could not visually see anything wrong with it. It is beautiful. However it did have a couple of other problems. The frets felt a bit rough when I slid my hand up and down the neck and the guitar had a slight backbow and the strings buzzed a bit when played. So I got a file and carefully smoothed off the ends of the frets without damaging the finish of thefretboard and then I adjusted the truss rod to correct the slight backbow with the allen key provided. This removed the buzz noise. One thing to note here is that the guitar has a 2 way truss rod and this means that it can be used to correct a backbow or an upbow, that is a real bonus! So now I have a really beautiful nylon guitar that has a slim enough nut and neck that I can play and as other reviewers have said it sounds lovely. Million Dollar Question........If I had not been confident enough to do the work would I have kept the guitar? Oh yes! I would have paid my local guitar shop to set it up for me it is that good. I love it.

Brilliant guitar; I bought it for my husband to use as a travel guitar and it fits the bill perfectly. Totally recommended.
