Ortega Offers Wireless System in 2 Sizes The Ortega Wireless System (OSWS) is a wireless pickup system available in two sizes: OSWS 86, ideal for classical guitars with a soundhole diameter of approximately 86 mil- limeters, and OSWS 100, suitable for acoustic guitars with a soundhole diameter of approx- imately 100 millimeters. The OSWS is designed for guitarists whose instruments don’t have a pre-installed pickup, and they wish to enhance and simpli- fy their live performance and stage mobili- ty. Traditionally, installing a pickup requires complex modifications that are time-con- suming and can damage the guitar body, affecting its natural sound and appearance. The OSWS addresses these issues with an easy installation, similar to a soundhole cover, eliminating the need for long-term modifica- tions. This makes it ideal for occasional per- formances and simple acoustic amplification. $ Ortega Guitars (ortegaguitars.com)
