Manuel Rodriguez | MAGISTRAL F-C
The Manuel Rodríguez MAGISTRAL F-C guitar belongs to a series of guitars made entirely of solid woods with unique characteristics and a very attractive price/performance ratio. These guitars come in a special finish with matt satin lacquered top and eco-friendly high gloss polyurethane varnish back and sides.
In this special construction method, the one-piece neck extends into the body and connects directly to the sides, back and top. This not only guarantees an enormous stability, but also the optimal transmission of vibrations, a faster response and a higher sustain. The true heart of a Spanish guitar.
All guitars in the MAGISTRAL range 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 extra stability, the nut and bridge saddle, handmade from vintage oiled bone, and the eco-friendly water-based high-gloss lacquer.
The innovative 12-hole Moreno bridge, thanks to its special construction, allows the strings to always have the same contact pressure on the bridge. In contrast to the standard 6-hole bridge, the strings can be fixed more easily, quickly and securely. The risk of the strings slipping and damaging the top is considerably reduced. A special feature of all Manuel Rodriguez 4/4 guitars is the built-in armrest, which offers two decisive advantages: its rounded shape ensures a particularly pleasant playing comfort and allows the soundboard to vibrate freely over the entire surface, as it prevents sound damping due to the positioning of the arm on the top of the guitar. More sound, more comfort. The German-made Hannabach 815HTC strings are factory-fitted and perfectly complement the tonal quality of this series. Free gig bag included.
