Manuel Rodriguez Electro acustica
The Electro acustica series by Manuel Rodriguez is characterized by the combination of aesthetically pleasing body woods and the highest level of craftsmanship. The centerpiece is the original Spanish neck joint, where the through-neck mahogany neck is directly joined to the body. This elaborate construction ensures tremendous stability, faster response, and significantly extended sustain. All instruments are handcrafted in Europe and use sustainable materials such as water-based organic high-gloss lacquer. Innovative Features for Playing Comfort and Safety Technically, these guitars set standards with well-thought-out details that optimize sound and handling. The innovative Moreno 12-hole bridge ensures consistent string pressure and minimizes the risk of damage to the top from string slippage. Another highlight is the ergonomic GEWA armrest, which prevents the top from being dampened on all 4/4 models, allowing it to vibrate freely. High-quality components such as a hand-filed bone nut and factory-installed Hannabach 815HTC strings complete the package.
