Manuel Rodriguez has built classical guitars in Spain since 1905, four generations refining one craft. The Manuel Rodriguez Superior A-S, Spruce/Bubinga 4/4, Gloss, Armrest carries that lineage.

Spanish Construction

This model pairs a spruce top with bubinga back and sides. 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.

Sound

The Spanish classical voice: singing trebles, warm basses, and the separation between voices that polyphonic repertoire depends on.

Playability

An integrated armrest bevel eases the right arm over the lower bout, a comfort feature usually reserved for luthier commissions. Classical string spacing, clean fretwork, and a setup meant for real technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I plug the Manuel Rodriguez Superior A-S into an amp?

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.

What does the 4/4 size mean?

It is a full-size instrument. Fractional sizes shorten the scale and body so younger or smaller players can reach chords comfortably; 4/4 is full size.

Does it use nylon or steel strings?

Nylon. Classical guitars are built and braced for nylon strings only; steel strings would damage the top and neck.
