Manuel Rodriguez has been building classical guitars in Spain since 1905, four generations of the same family refining the same craft. These are traditional Spanish instruments: solid tops on the upper lines, classical bracing, nylon-string voicing built for everything from first lessons to the concert stage. The Ecologia models add something rare in this world, sustainably sourced woods and finishes, without giving up the sound that made the name. What makes the line special for families and teachers is the sizing. Rodriguez builds real instruments, not toys, in half, three-quarter, and seven-eighths scales, so a young student learns on a guitar that actually fits and actually sounds good. The right size is often the difference between a student who practices and one who quits. As an authorized dealer we can supply the full range, and we will help you match the guitar to the player.
