Ortega Signature Series BYWSM Guitar Electro-Acoustic Classi

Description

General
Billy Watman, the Anglo-Brazilian guitarist known for his flamenco, classical and fingerstyle music, was granted the freedom to design his dream guitar which has resulted in the Ortega Signature Series BYWSM. This gig-grade electro-acoustic classical guitar boasts the strong mid projection of a solid spruce top combined with the naturally stunning look of a white ebony body that comes polished off with acacia binding, an acacia arm rest contour, and a beautiful gloss finish. For the neck, Billy went with mahogany, a comfortably slim profile and a 48mm nut, plus a classy ebony fretboard and a set of gold-plated open-gear machine heads with black tuning pegs.

Full Control

While the acoustic sound of the Ortega BYWSM brims with natural warmth, this signature guitar can also be plugged into an amp thanks to the fitted Ortega/Fishman Clasica Blend System which comes with both a piezo pickup and a built-in microphone. In addition to a blend control, you’re set up with a volume pot, 3-band EQ tone controls, a notch filter for eliminating unwanted frequencies, and a phase reverse button for countering feedback, putting you in full control of your live sound. This stage-ready classical guitar comes wrapped up in a Billy Watman Signature gig bag complete with an embroidered logo in the form of Billy’s hat.
