Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Manuel Rodriguez Academia 40-C 'Cedar / Zebrano' Classical Guitar is a beautifully crafted instrument that delivers bold, expressive tone and refined aesthetics at a player-friendly price. Handbuilt in Europe using time-honored Spanish techniques, this model is ideal for students, hobbyists, or performers looking to elevate their classical playing. A solid cedar top ensures warmth and clarity, while the striking zebrano back and sides offer excellent projection and a unique, eye-catching grain.
Comfort is enhanced with a factory-installed armrest and a smooth mahogany neck topped with an ovangkol fingerboard. The golden lyra-style machine heads with black buttons provide stable tuning and elegant detailing. Traditional construction features like a genuine Spanish heel and real wood bindings speak to the quality of craftsmanship, while modern updates such as Hannabach high-tension carbon strings and a polyurethane gloss finish round out a well-balanced, responsive instrument.
