This is a fantastic "Centenario" model, which comes from a series of guitars produced by Miguel Rodriguez Jr. and his son Pepe during the 1990's. They are known for featuring not only the finest of materials but also for sporting additional inlay in the rosette and top purfling. As is customary for this maker, sound is huge and full with lightning-fast response. Playability is very easy thanks to the slender and comfortable neck shape. Rodriguez classical guitars are known to have a flamenco response to them, giving them great bounce and instant presence and this one has this very exciting quality throughout all registers. The tone is silky, smooth, very even and clean with dark, powerful basses and thick trebles which carry a lot of weight. The separation between voices is superb making it a great instrument for virtually any style of music - not just Spanish repertoire, but even contrapuntal music from the Renaissance and Baroque. Condition is original throughout, including finish. Apart from a cracked ding (that has been filled and polished over) near the extremity of the lower bout, treble-side, the guitar has no repairs or cracks. This is a very desirable Rodriguez for its quality (and quantity) of sound, superb playability and unmatched aesthetic beauty – collector and performer alike will find this to be an extremely exciting instrument to own and play.
