Part of the Performer Series, the electro-acoustic Ortega RE158RWSN classical guitar brings the lush acoustic tone of a solid spruce soundboard, an Indian rosewood back and matching sides and an Indian rosewood bridge and fretboard. Agile playability is also assured by a mahogany Slim Neck and narrower-than-average 48mm-wide nut, bringing the feel of this classical guitar close to that of an electric guitar or steel-string acoustic. The modern and lightly rounded acoustic sound of this stage-ready model is amplified in full by a fitted MagusPro preamp system, which features a built-in tuner as well as a phase switch for countering any unwelcome feedback. The Ortega RE158RWSN classical guitar comes complete with a Pro gig bag.

While the DiMarzio DP110 FS-1 technically hasn't been designed as a vintage single-coil pickup, its intense sound is certainly cut out for blues, especially when it's dropped in the bridge position of a Strat with a maple neck. Roughly 25% louder than a standard single-coil pickup, the DP110 FS-1 shapes thick, supple sound and can also be installed in the middle or neck position for bigger, more aggressive sound. Prefer something a little more tonally balanced? Then be sure to combine it with True Velvet pickups in the middle and neck position.

A great choice for classic metal guitarists, the DiMarzio DP117 HS-3 single-coil pickup packs a relatively low output that goes particularly well with distortion. This Alnico 5 pickup can be installed in any position and, teamed up with an HS-4 at the neck and an HS-2 in the middle position, gives you a warmer sound than standard if you're rocking a Strat. The DP117 HS-3 is also a great match with a PAF, PAF Pro, Air Classic or Norton-style humbucker planted at the bridge.
