1965 MIGUEL RODRIGUEZ CLASSICAL GUITARAmong all the classical guitars, Miguel Rodriguez guitars are the most quintessential Spanish guitar. It is lightly built for fast attack yet it has deep earthy bass and lively treble sound. Miguel Rodriguez guitars has been played by many guitarists, among whom Romero family is most well known. Rodriguez senior passed away in 1975 so I assume that this guitar was either build by the senior or by junior with senior's supervision. In guitar shops such as Guitar Salon, Miguel Rodriguez guitars commend around $35,000. This guitar was owned by one professional guitarist. Specification:Top: European SpruceBack and Sides: Brazilian RosewoodScale Length: 654mmNut Width: 52mmString Heights: Bass: 4mm Treble: 3.5mm. The saddle has plenty of room to lower the acton.Bracing: five fan braces, two main transverse braces at the lower boutCondition: Top has two repaired cracks running from the bridge to the lower bout. Back has one repaired crack. Both are repaired by one of the the best classical guitar luthier/repairman. This guitar's bass has that deep sound but also has that flamenco soul that cries out. Here are some articles about Miguel Rodriguez guitars.Guitar Salon International (GSI), the world’s leading classical guitar dealers, “have done dozens of blind tests with the best makers including Fleta, Hauser, Bouchet and Santos, and we are always amazed to find that Rodriguez is as beautiful as the best of them in terms of tone, but bigger in sound and scope.” (GSI Summer Catalogue 2002, p.3 ) The Romero family have concertised and recorded using Rodriguez guitars for many years. “The famous guitarist Pepe Romero considers Miguel Rodriguez guitars to be supreme concertising instruments, partly because the strong fundamental content of tone carries deep into an auditorium.” (Urlic 1997, p.126) These guitars are large, powerful instruments with an extremely quick response, which is due in part to their ideal string tension. “String tensions, the different “feel” (as exemplified the return of the strings, after being deflected, to their state of inertia)” and “a finely structured guitar achieves a point of abeyance–resonance that easily responds to the slightest of deflection of the strings, producing in turn a string tension with an ideal pliancy, and that when this state of integration occurs, there is coupled “unison” between the string in tension and the guitar (structure) which is highly desirable.” (Romanillos 1987, p.108)
