Description

Manuel Rodriuez JR – exquisite guitar of carefully chosen tone woods and intricate detail.

For more than 115 years, GUITARRAS MANUEL RODRÍGUEZ has been making instruments in the tradition of the Madrid School of Spanish guitar making. The family business was founded in Madrid in 1905, making it the second oldest guitar manufacturer south of the Pyrenees. Today’s Luthier Manuel Rodríguez III grew up in California and Spain and is already the third generation to practise his craft. The cosmopolitan way of life that so characterises Manuel is reflected in each and every instrument. Their unique grace and unmistakable sound result from the skilful combination of the tradition and modernity of the craft, the history and future of music, and the craftsmanship and experience of the builders.#

This guitar represents Manuel Rodriuez’ high end model. The woods used on this guitar are of extraordinary quality. It has a cedar top and rosewood back and sides, The scale length is 650 mm and the nut width 52 mm.

This guitar has a powerful and responsive sound, with brilliant trebles and deep, round basses. The notes are rich in harmonics, the timbre is deep and of great beauty.
Perhaps among the most powerful of the Madrid instruments, this guitar also has a very elegant, lyrical voice with a very rich and thick quality of tone across all registers. At the same time it is very clear and balanced – very impressive, with a huge bite at the attack of every note. A very endearing instrument.

It is in good condition, but shows some amount of signs from play and use. The finish shows a slight cloudiness in some areas.

The guitar comes with the original hard case.
