Ortega Guitars RFU10Z Friends Series Soprano Ukulele with Zebrawood Top and Body in Satin Finish, 15 Frets

Whether you’re playing for fun or performing professionally. Ortega offers a broad range and levels of traditional Soprano, Concert, Tenor and Baritone body sizes. Select models are equipped with our own preamp and built-in tuner.
Ukuleles have been part of our extensive classic range since 2008 with our RU10 and RU11 models. Both of these instruments quickly became very popular.
Over the years the status of ukuleles changed from being a “side” instrument or known as a cheep toy to be a professional instrument, established and at home nearly on every stage.
Since we started to make ukuleles, Ortega focused on making high quality instruments for the needs of every musician. In 2009 we upgraded our ukulele program developing the RUE series made with flamed mahogany and a plug-in pickup.
2011 is the year the LIZARD series and is the highlight so far. Built with help of most modern technology we also love to use lasers from time to time. Special designed preamps and pickups made by German icon Shadow completes our high needs.
And… course our weakness for Croco-designed cases continues with the LIZARD series; INCLUDING !
2012 – make new friends! With our new “FRIENDS” (RFU) series you can make new friends starting already NOVEMBER 2011.
Our NEW Ortega RFU10S Soprano Ukuleles are built from solid Sapele wood, Mahogany and Sonokelin. The Soprano models are all designed with 16 frets instead of 12 as usually offered.
The Friends Series Ukuleles feature a single style vintage tuner and a 350mm scale length.
All Ortega Friends Series instruments come with a gigbag with two shoulder straps and a small accessory pocket. The instruments are finished in a natural satin look.
