Manuel Rodriguez ECOLOGIA Series E-65 Full-Size Classical Guitar

First class classical guitars from Spain’s second oldest guitar maker, Spanish handmade in Madrid since 1905. Luthier Manuel Rodriguez III grew up in California and Spain, you can see in his classical guitars his cosmopolitan attitude for a breathtaking mix of tradition and modernity. Rich in sound, history and beauty since 1905.

The ECOLOGÍA series harks back to the tradition of European guitar making of our great-grandfathers. At that time, tonewood was used that grew on the doorstep and was available. It was only much later that the international wood trade, including tropical woods, replaced the local woods that had proven themselves for decades.

Manuel Rodriguez thinks highly of these traditions and has created an environmentally “green” series, built from the European woods spruce, walnut, maple and acacia. Not a single tropical wood is used.
