The guitars of the Miguel Rodriguez shop have been favorite picks of many leading concert artists, most notably all members of the Romero family. The tone is silky, smooth, very even and clean with deep powerful basses and thick, weighty trebles. The separation between voices is superb and is achieved without the loss of warmth. It also lives up to its reputation and has enormous power as well as quick flamenco-like response giving it great bounce and instant presence. This guitar has only had one previous owner in its history, and the condition is original with very few signs of playing wear. There is one small (now invisible) crack in the back, repaired years ago by Yuris Zeltins in San Diego. An outstanding example by one of the great makers in history.
