Manuel Rodriguez E-57 Ecologia Series 3/4 Size Solid Spruce Top Maple Neck Nylon 6-String Classical Acoustic Guitar

The ECOLOGÍA series harks back to the tradition of European guitar building of our great-grandfathers. At that time, tonewood was used that grew on the doorstep and was available. It was only much later that the international wood trade, including tropical woods, replaced the local woods that had been used for decades. Manuel Rodriguez thinks highly of these old traditions and has created an environmentally green series, which is made of the European woods spruce, walnut, maple, and acacia. Not a single tropical wood is used.

The ECOLOGÍA is available in 5 sizes up to the small 1/4. The ECOLOGÍA is tonally more moderately tuned and designed for a rather balanced sound. The ecologically natural design clearly sets it apart from all other guitars. This includes the water-based eco-matt varnish. Neck construction with a traditional dovetail joint, the maple neck has an unstained natural light matt finish. Stringing: Hannabach 815HTC special set with CARBON discant strings, high tension, made in Germany. The 4/4 model comes with a mounted armrest. Handmade in Europe from European woods.
