    DISCLAIMER: I'm new to guitar I ordered this guitar after I noticed the string spacing on an acoustic guitar isn't enough for me to progress effectively. I was thrilled to know that this guitar with a 2-inch nut width. Which helps with my ability to fret notes. I can more readily fret the notes of open chords. I am learning my hands positioning for barre chords. The barre chords on this guitar seem to be difficult at the 5th to the 12th fret so after a deep dive and some research into guitars. I've come to a conclusion that the action at the 12th fret maybe too high for me and needs an adjustment. I love the hourglass shape of classical guitars. I don't know the acoustics or audio effects of that, but I know it looks pretty. I don't know much about the manufacturer Ortega, but I think they built a good guitar for my uses and budget. It was also available left-handed.
