This 1987 classical guitar, made by the great luthier Robert Mattingly is a gem! Modeled after a Miguel Rodriguez, it has a a warm, expansive voice with a lot of volume; no need for a double top here.

It has a Redwood top and Brazilian Rosewood sides and back are worn but still be very good shape. The responsiveness, volume, and projection make this the perfect guitar for large venues or ensemble work. The voice is truly demanding and because of the responsiveness it is easy on the player to get it.

The is guitar has a 660mm scale, 54mm nut width with 44mm string spacing and 59mm string spacing at the saddle. The body depth is slightly larger than typical as 4 1/2 - 4 3/8. The guitar weighs a respectable 1813g. It has one crack in the Brazilian Rosewood on the side that has been repaired, finish wear, and other minor marks from the attention it has received for it's almost 40 year life.

You can find Robert's guitars on occasion, but this example, from near the end of his career, is exceptional!
