Ortega Billy Watman Signature Nylon String Guitar 6 String

Billy Watman is an award-winning Anglo-Brazilian classical instrumental guitarist based in London (United Kingdom). He is currently studying at the Royal College of Music - inspired by artists such as Rodrigo y Gabriela, Tommy Emmanuel, Mike Oldfield, and Paco De Lucia. He reached the finals of 'Guitar Star' - a guitar-based talent show open to all ages and genres for Sky Arts TV, which was broadcast in the UK, Europe, Australia, and South America. Billy is an experienced live performer and has shared the main stage at the Towersey Festival alongside Midge Ure, Billy Bragg, and many others.
The BYWSM guitar was designed in close collaboration with Billy. He chose a solid spruce top, back, and sides made of stunning white ebony, hand-selected, with a glossy finish. Playing comfort is ensured by the slim neck of 48 mm, featuring Billy's signature inlay at the 12th fret, a newly designed cutaway, and a pronounced binding of flame maple with an ergonomic built-in armrest. The BYWSM Signature model features a Fishman/Ortega Clasica Blend preamp system. On the back of the classic slotted headstock design, you will find Billy's laser-engraved signature. The Billy Watman Signature model comes complete with a soft case with an embroidered logo.
