The guitar construction includes a monolithic spruce top plate, walnut back and sides, a mahogany handle, and a rosewood fingering plate. Aesthetic arrangements also include a spruce body bidding, a silver-plated Manuel Rodriguez head, a handmade wooden rosette, and a beautiful glossy finish. Rodriguez’s guitars offer a high level of build and sound quality that comes from a background of more than 100 years of experience in guitar making. The history of Rodriguez’s handmade Spanish guitars is as gloriously as the woods from which they are made.
Manuel Rodríguez stayed in Los Angeles for about 15 years, producing guitars for professional musicians, Hollywood actors, instructors, and students before finally returning to Madrid in 1973. Using the highest quality woods and hand-shaping them based on precise criteria, Manuel Rodríguez has created guitars that are distinctive and tailored to the needs of the world’s most prominent artists.
