Intricacy and beauty that signifies the attention to detail characteristic of every Rodriguez guitar.
Featuring a carefully chosen, solid Spruce top and solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, this Rodriguez
Model E is a beauty to behold and play. The headstock is Indian rosewood, the neck is Honduras Cedar, and the fingerboard
is Ebony. Gold-plated tuners and Silver-plated frets are installed to last a lifetime. The body binding and wood rosette are
exquisite.
The Rodriguez E Classical Guitar is hand crafted and glued to create precise balances. From the invisible
careful sanding, even inside the body, that ensures the finished instrument's purity of tone, to the beautifully unique rosette
inlays around the soundhole and on the back of the neck, each guitar is a credit to its luthier and worthy of being handed
down from one generation to another.
The tone, resonance and beauty of fine guitars are all dependent upon the wood
from which they are made. The wood used in the construction of Rodriguez guitars is carefully chosen and aged to guarantee
the highest quality. No wood is purchased before the tree has been cut down, and at least 2 years must elapse before the tree
is turned into lumber. The wood has to be well cut from the log. The grain must be close and absolutely vertical. The shop
is totally free from humidity.
The Rodriguez guitar features a multicolored wood rosette, as exquisite as the sounds
that issue from it.
For backs and sides, Rodriguez uses Brazilian Rosewood and Indian Rosewood (Jacaranda). Brazilian
Rosewood has a beautiful color and design, making it ideal for an elegant concert classic guitar.
For the top, Rodriguez
has experimented with other Spruce woods from various parts of the world including North America, Canada, Alaska, Russia and
Sweden, but the Spruce from Central Europe is unique. Red Western Cedar is obtained from Canada and the Northwest U.S. There
are many different qualities and colors. As with Spruce, stiffness, grain and weight are important.
For the neck, Rodriguez
uses cedar from Honduras as preferred over heavy Mahogany. There are many kinds of Cedar, as the name is used on so many continents.
The Honduras Cedar used is very hard and stiff, but at the same time, light. Necks are reinforced with 2 Ebony strips on the
underside of the fingerboard to give total rigidity and to eliminate movement cased as a result of the aging of the guitar.
