Manuel Rodriguez Nature Model D Boca MR

General

Manuel Rodriguez is a proud family-owned company with a rich history in guitar-making. Even today, more than a century after it was founded in 1905, a member of the Rodriguez family is still the head honcho of this well-known luthier. This Model D Cutaway MR Gloss is a perfect trilogy of modern forward-thinking, Spanish tradition, and skilled craftsmanship. The logo of the Spanish company has been transformed into a sound hole in the spruce top of this guitar, and an additional sound hole is located in the side for even more sound projection. It features a modern preamp and the finish is truly fresh and unique.

Model D Cutaway MR Gloss: construction

The first thing you may notice about this guitar is the unique spruce top which features a cedar strip inlay and is adorned with the MR logo. It's an ergonomic cutaway that is comfortable to play and allows easy access the highest frets. The warm overtones it produces are a result of the rosewood sides and back, and some characteristic sparkling elements are a result of the spruce top. A preamp by LRBaggs has been integrated for amplification. No matter how busy or clamorous your surroundings may be, you'll be able to hear your own playing perfectly without the need for a monitor thanks to the extra sound hole in the side.

Manuel Rodriguez classical guitars

In the world of classical guitars, the name Manuel Rodriquez is a household name. That isn't hard to understand, since their instruments are made almost completely by hand with the greatest of care. The company itself has a rich history making products that are a direct result of generations of experience, from the selection of the wood, the long, natural drying process to the skilful construction. The production process itself is a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern values. Barely any wood is wasted because left-over bits are often used to generate energy, and to create other products like percussion instruments.
