Manuel Rodriguez Ecologia Samba Plano Electric Classical Guitar

The Manuel Rodriguez Ecologia Samba Plano is a beautifully crafted electric classical guitar that blends traditional Spanish craftsmanship with sustainable design and modern playability. Built with a solid European spruce top and laminated walnut back and sides, this guitar produces a warm, balanced tone with exceptional projection and clarity. Its environmentally friendly, water-based open-pore finish allows the wood to breathe naturally, delivering a rich resonance while promoting sustainable production methods.

With its slim-profile maple neck and comfortable 48 mm nut width, the Samba Plano offers an easy, responsive playing experience suited to both classical and contemporary styles. Equipped with the ARTEC SQ-3 preamp and Solidflex pickup system, this model provides excellent amplified sound control, with onboard EQ and tuner for stage or studio use. Elegant wooden binding, a mosaic rosette, and a natural satin finish complete the instrument’s refined aesthetic — making it a top choice for players who value tone, comfort, and environmental responsibility.
