The Caballero line is Manuel Rodriguez's gateway: Spanish-designed classical guitars that give students and returning players the real thing from the first lesson. The Caballero by MR Classical Guitar 7/8 Natural Ceder carries that lineage.

Cedar tops speak warm and immediate; spruce tops start brighter and grow for decades. Either way, the bracing, the Spanish heel tradition, and the hand-finished details are what four generations of one Madrid family consider non-negotiable. And this is a true 7/8-size instrument: scaled body, scaled string length, full build quality. The right size is often the difference between a student who practices and one who quits.
The Spanish classical voice: singing trebles, warm basses, and the separation between voices that polyphonic repertoire depends on.
Classical string spacing, clean fretwork, and a setup meant for real technique.

Built for young and smaller-framed students. A 7/8 scale means chords land under the hand, and a student who is comfortable is a student who keeps practicing.
Not out of the box, this is a fully acoustic model. A soundhole or under-saddle pickup can be added later by any guitar tech.
It is a seven-eighths-size instrument. Fractional sizes shorten the scale and body so younger or smaller players can reach chords comfortably; 4/4 is full size.
Nylon. Classical guitars are built and braced for nylon strings only; steel strings would damage the top and neck.
