Manuel Rodriguez SUPERIOR C-C Classical guitar

ref. 501.340 - Manuel Rodriguez

The Manuel Rodriguez SUPERIOR guitar series is a selection of impressive instruments made with exceptionally beautiful woods. The excellence of these guitars is by no means limited to their appearance. All models are equipped with an original Spanish heel, the authentic feature of classical guitar construction. In this special construction method, the one-piece neck is extended into the body and connected directly to the sides, back and top. This not only guarantees an enormous stability, but also an optimal transmission of vibrations, a faster response and a higher sustain. The true heart of a Spanish guitar. All guitars in the SUPERIOR range are handmade in Europe and have additional features that are quite special in this moderate price range. These include the mahogany neck, which has an ebony inlay on the back for extra stability, the nut and bridge saddle, handmade from vintage oiled bone, and the eco-friendly water-based high-gloss lacquer. The innovative 12-hole Moreno bridge, thanks to its special construction, allows the strings to always have the same contact pressure on the bridge. In contrast to the standard 6-hole bridge, the strings can be fixed more easily, quickly and securely. The risk of the strings slipping and damaging the top is considerably reduced. A special feature of all Manuel Rodriguez 4/4 guitars is the built-in armrest, which offers two decisive advantages: its rounded shape ensures a particularly pleasant playing feel and allows the soundboard to vibrate freely over the entire surface, as it prevents damping due to the right arm being placed on top. The Manuel Rodriguez SUPERIOR C-C features a solid cedar top, Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck with ebony backing strip, ebony fingerboard, built-in armrest, 12-hole bridge, bone saddle and nut, and gold-plated tuning machines with black tuning pegs and shafts. Free gig bag included.

The Alhambra 3CCW E1. Elegant solid cedar top and beautifully finished cutaway design. Built using the Fishman Classic III/Clasica M system that includes a tuner and is especially designed for nylon string guitars. This handmade instrument produces a rich, warm sound. The Alhambra 3CCW  has a slightly narrower neck width than is standard for classical models. When played through a good quality acoustic amplifier, the 3CCWE1, with its Fishman pre-amp, produces a sound that it is difficult to believe comes out of a budget-priced electro-acoustic classical guitar. 

 

The Alhambra 3CCT E1. Classical guitar with a narrow body. This elegantly-crafted guitar produces a truly magnificent sound: rich, warm and powerful. With select solid cedar top. Beautifully finished cutaway. Built with Fishman Clasica III system for nylon string guitars.  Handmade in Spain. The Alhambra 3CCT is also built with the steel-string guitar player in mind as it has a slightly narrower neck width than is standard in a classical model. When played through a good quality 'acoustic’' amplifier the 3CCT E1, with its Fishman pre-amp, produces a sound that it is very hard to achieve through a budget-priced electro-acoustic classical guitar. Transparent guitar pick included. Two pieces.
