This flamenco guitar was made by the legendary guitar maker Miguel Rodríguez in his workshop, located in 15 Alfaros Street (Córdoba) in 1957. His guitars are objects of desire for collectors and performers all around the world because of both its meticulous construction and the personality they have.
The different woods in this flamenco guitar are of the top existing quality. The top are made of german spruce has a totally straight and even grain, which is quite accentuated. The back and sides are made of cypress wood, whose beauty and quality are simply magnificent. Miguel Rodríguez was extremely selective as regards the choice of the woods for the guitar making. He always seeked for nothing but excellence in acoustics and beauty, which can be appreciated in every single guitar he made all along his career.
The timbre of Miguel Rodríguez’s guitars is unmistakable and never leaves anyone indifferent. It’s no surprise that these instruments are among the most sought-after, and when we get one, it practically disappears before even being put up for sale. Its sound shows a perfect and absolute balance in everything: brightness, depth, projection, power, clarity… it has that exact touch of dryness that makes strumming a true delight, where everything is perfectly understood with that firm flamenco echo, which is the hallmark of this master luthier.
The action is medium and truly comfortable, with a height of 2.3 millimeters at the 12th fret, making the left-hand work extremely easy and fluid.
The condition of this flamenco guitar is excellent and completely original. It only has a small crack on the lower part of the back, repaired only with glue due to its location and minor nature.
