The creator of FLAMETAL (Flamenco-Metal), Ben Woods is an international recording artist and touring musician known the world over for his originality and excellence in Flamenco guitar artistry. His collaboration with Ortega has produced 3 unique and innovative guitars, a perfect reflection of the artist himself. The Flametal-One and Flametal-Two bridge his two worlds, with not-so-subtle nods to his Metal heritage, while the BWSM/2 satisfies the traditional flamenco master at his most demanding.
Ortega breaks barriers without losing focus on the basics of classical guitar making. Always conscious of the deep traditions of guitar construction, we are not afraid to apply contemporary processes in order to improve the playing experience. Two-way truss rods, 12-hole bridges, and a wide variety of scale lengths and nut widths are just some of the ways Ortega is moving guitar building forward in order to make a better instrument for you.
