1996 Manuel Rodriguez FF Flamenco Classical Guitar

Manuel Rodriguez and Sons (Guitarras Manuel Rodríguez) is one of Spain’s oldest operating guitar manufactories. Originally established in Madrid in 1905, the company is deeply rooted in the renowned Madrid School of guitar making. They are universally celebrated for using authentic, aged European tonewoods alongside time-honored Spanish building techniques.

Model "FF" Specifications

• Type: Classical/Flamenco Blanca style.
• Wood: Built with a solid spruce from Germany, and back/sides crafted from cypress, giving it the crisp, percussive tone highly desired by flamenco players.
• Features: It comes equipped with a protective golpeador to prevent scratching the soundboard while performing aggressive flamenco-style tapping.
• Action: Flamenco guitars typically have a slightly lower action and lighter, brighter timbre compared to traditional classical instruments

This guitar is in beautiful, pristine condition with some dark tonewood inserts on one of the sides.
