Ortega RRG40CE-DBK Americana Series Round Neck Resonator Guitar Distressed Satin Black

Overtone-Rich Resonator Twang with a Cutaway and Passive Lipstick Pickup

The Ortega RRG40CE-DBK Americana Series Round Neck Resonator Guitar combines traditional resonator character with a stage-ready acoustic-electric layout. Its mahogany top, back and sides are finished in Distressed Satin Black, giving the guitar a worn-in Americana look that suits its blues, bluegrass and folk roots.

At the heart of the sound is an aluminium cone resonator with an antique finish. This is what gives the RRG40CE-DBK its distinctive overtone-rich twang and metallic edge. The cutaway gives you easier access further up the blackwood fingerboard.

A passive lipstick pickup lets you take that character to an amplifier or PA, with onboard volume and tone controls for straightforward adjustment from the guitar. The maple/ebony bridge, aged vintage tuning machines and 628 mm (24.72") scale complete the traditional-meets-modern setup.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the RRG40CE-DBK is a great fit for players chasing the unmistakable attack and harmonic colour of a resonator guitar without giving up familiar round-neck playability or simple amplified control. Its distressed black finish and antique-style hardware also give it plenty of visual character.
