I am the original owner of this Manuel Rodriguez, Model FC, Spanish nylon string guitar, which I purchased in November of 1993 from a guitar shop that specialized in nylon string guitars.The owner of the shop had many professional guitar players as friends and customers and recommended to get this guitar over a Ramirez, etc. So I did.
I didnt play this guitar very much. However, about 10 years ago, I started playing this guitar and my other nylon string guitars. I noted the finish on this piece was cloudy. I took it to my luthier, who painstakingly removed the finish on the back, sides & headstock all by hand, which took 6 months and then he re-varnished the guitar.
Since refinishing the guitar, this piece has significantly opened up, sounds fantastic and BTW, plays like a dream.
Other than the finish issues, these are wonderfully made guitars and are hand made in Espana. Also there are quality materials, including a German spruce top, Indian Rosewood back/sides, Honduran cedar neck reinforced with ebony, and the rosette, all of which are top notch. Also it has a Madagascar rosewood head stock cover, bone nut (~52mm), ebony fret board, and a 650 mm (25.6") scale length. Please see the pix, which are revealing.
The hard shell case is rugged and doesn't stink.
There are superficial scratches on this piece from the re-finishing process, especially on the top. This guitar is loud and has a great sustain.
I am not interested in trades for I am reducing my inventory of guitars.
No international sales or shipping and no returns.
I will personally pack, ship and detune the strings. It will also be protected by the Reverb insurance.
Please look at my other guitars for sale.
Thanks for looking.
