Master Craftsman of Spain, Manuel Rodriguez MOD FF Flamenco Guitar, Superb Condition Top: Spruce Sides & Back: Cypress Golpeador (Tap Plate): Only on the underside Manuel Rodriguez the First honed his skills with Jose Ramirez and Santos Hernandez, and after becoming independent, he mainly exported to Europe and America. Therefore, he is not very well-known in Japan, but his workshop, with a history of 118 years, is highly regarded. This guitar is a flamenco guitar, but it is built as solidly as a classical guitar. When I put classical guitar strings on it, it sounded so linear and enveloping that I almost wanted to use it as a classical guitar. The neck is almost straight, and there is plenty of fret and bridge remaining. I bought this from a collector friend 6-7 years ago, intending to learn flamenco, but due to my age, my nails couldn't handle it, and applying super glue made my nails even more brittle, so I gave up. Since then, I have stored it with strings lightly strung and a humidity control agent covering the soundhole, but I have decided to sell it to organize my collection. For those who will play it with care, how about this opportunity? Thank you.
