Manuel Rodriguez: SUPERIOR Series - A-S
The Manuel Rodríguez SUPERIOR series offers stunning instruments with exceptionally attractively grained body woods.
All models are equipped with an original Spanish heel, the royal class in guitar building. With this special construction method, the one-piece neck extends into the body and is directly connected to the sides, back and top. This not only ensures enormous stability, but also optimal vibration transmission, faster response and longer sustain.
All SUPERIOR instruments are handmade in Europe and have additional features that are quite special in this moderate price range. These include the mahogany neck, which has an ebony inlay on the back for stability, the nut and bridge inlay, hand-filed from oiled vintage bone, and the water-based eco high-gloss lacquer.
The innovative Moreno 12-hole bridge, due to its special construction, allows the strings to always have the same contact pressure on the bridge inlay. In contrast to the standard 6-hole bridge, the strings can be fastened more easily, quickly and securely. The risk of the strings slipping through and damaging the top is greatly reduced.
A special feature of all Manuel Rodríguez 4/4 guitars is the GEWA armrest, which offers two decisive advantages: its rounded shape ensures a particularly pleasant playing feel and allows the soundboard to vibrate freely over the entire surface, as it prevents damping by the right arm being placed on top.
German-made Hannabach 815HTC strings are factory-fitted and perfectly round off the tonal quality of this series.
