The concert guitars in the Thermo Series undergo a special thermal treatment that transforms selected woods into "aged" tonewoods. In this process, the woods are heated in a vacuum to remove moisture and resin. This results in a light, hard and stable wood structure that imitates the decades-long aging process while the sound quality and response mature. The guitars are characterized by a solid spruce top, which is given an amber-like color by this treatment, thus enhancing the Vintage charm. The bottom and sides are made of Pao Ferro. Thanks to their short scale length , these guitars offer a comfortable playing feel. Each model in the Thermo series is supplied with a high-quality Ortega Pro gig bag.

Founded in Germany in 1994, Ortega Guitars has combined modern design with authentic, traditional methods of classical guitar building. The company is best known for its classical guitars , but has now made a name for itself in many other areas of acoustic music . Ortega Guitars is committed to innovation, quality and sustainability and strives to meet expectations for all of its acoustic instruments at every level and to continually improve.
The first goal of the newly founded guitar manufacturing company was to produce guitars that everyone could play and afford. From this starting point, Ortega Guitars has developed from a small German guitar brand into a true global player with distribution partners all over the world.
A cornerstone of Ortega Guitars was and still is the construction / acoustic of guitars in traditional Spanish construction , which is considered the highest quality design . In addition to the further development of this form of construction, various designs and features have been experimented with and the instruments have constantly improved . Ortega Guitars always focuses on the wishes of its customers and those of the artists who play Ortega instruments. The product range has therefore expanded significantly over the last 25 years. Currently, music enthusiasts can choose from a variety of different stringed instruments such as ukuleles, acoustic basses, mandolins and banjos . Of course, smaller guitars such as 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 models for children are also included in the range.
The latest innovations from Ortega include the digital stompboxes Horse Kick Pro and Quantum Loop, the Keiki Series ukuleles for very young musicians and a system specifically designed to amplification acoustic guitars consisting of the H ONE top and the matching speaker boxes S ONE and S TWO. With so much innovation and customer focus, it is not surprising that many artists have chosen Ortega guitars and play them in everyday life and on stage. Some of the most well-known artists with signature instruments from Ortega Guitars include Thomas Zwijsen, Ben Woods, Javier Reyes and Ken Taylor.
