ACADEMIA is the first series in the Manuel Rodríguez range to feature the original Spanish heel, the royal class in lutherie. Thanks to this special construction method, the one-piece neck extends into the body and is directly connected to the sides, back and top. This guarantees not only enormous stability, but also optimal vibration transmission, faster response and longer sustain.
The heart of a Spanish guitar.
The four versions of the ACADEMIA series, all in 4/4 format, are distinguished by the beautiful decorations and materials of the top and sides. Here, you should see, hear and experience what you prefer.
All ACADEMIA instruments are handcrafted in Europe, and feature a number of additional features that are quite unique in this moderate price range. These include the mahogany neck with Ovangkol fingerboard, the saddle and bridge inlay, hand-filed from oiled vintage bone, and the water-based ecological gloss varnish.
A special feature of all Manuel Rodríguez 4/4 guitars is the GEWA armrest, which offers two decisive advantages: With its rounded shape, it ensures a particularly pleasant playing sensation and allows the top to vibrate freely over the entire surface, as it prevents damping. by the right arm being placed on it.
