This particular guitar, built around 1915, is a rare and extraordinary example from the early years of Rodriguez’s craftsmanship—an instrument of exceptional historical and musical value.
This Miguel Rodriguez ~1915 classical guitar is built with the utmost precision, featuring a fine-grained spruce top and beautifully figured maple for the back and sides. True to the tradition of early 20th-century Spanish guitar-making, it is lightly constructed and very resonant. The scale length is 625 mm, and the nut width is 48 mm, ensuring a comfortable playing experience.
The tone of this instrument embodies all the hallmarks of a high-end, handmade guitar from the golden age of Spanish luthiery, deeply influenced by the legacy of Antonio de Torres. The sound is lively, dry, and highly responsive, with deep, resonant basses and rich, velvety trebles. Its high registers are sweet and expressive, producing a singing voice that lends itself beautifully to a wide range of musical styles. This is a guitar that truly comes alive in the hands of the player—its vibrant character makes it a joy to play and nearly impossible to put down.
