Manuel Rodriguez

Brings together a bubinga body with a cedar top for resplendent tone.

Featuring a carefully chosen, solid Canadian cedar top and laminated bubinga back and sides, the Caballero 11 classical guitar is a beauty to behold and play. The headstock and fretboard are of Indian rosewood. Nickel-plated tuners and Silver-plated frets are installed to last a lifetime. The body binding and wood rosette are exquisite.

The Rodriguez Guitar is hand crafted and glued to create precise balances. From the invisible careful sanding, even inside the body, that ensures the finished instrument's purity of tone, to the beautifully unique rosette inlays around the soundhole and on the back of the neck, each guitar is a credit to its luthier and worthy of being handed down from one generation to another.

The tone, resonance and beauty of fine guitars are all dependent upon the wood from which they are made. The wood used in the construction of Rodriguez guitars is carefully chosen and aged to guarantee the highest quality. No wood is purchased before the tree has been cut down, and at least 2 years must elapse before the tree is turned into lumber. The wood has to be well cut from the log. The grain must be close and absolutely vertical. The shop is totally free from humidity.

The Rodriguez Caballero 11 guitar features a multi-colored wood rosette, as exquisite as the sounds that issue from it. Their intricacy and beauty signify the attention to detail that characterizes every Rodriguez guitar.

YES. DO BUY THIS GUITAR.

| Review By: Eric Grossman | 4 months, 2 weeks ago

2 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

     I am rating and reviewing this guitar again just to stress how good it is. I have been playing guitar for ten years now and am very selective when it comes to the action and overall feel of guitars. As an owner of this guitar, I can tell you that it plays wonderfully.

     Yes, there may not be any dots on the fretboard to mark specific positions, but this will help you be less dependent on the markers and moreso on your ears. And, the guitar is completely beautiful.

Quality:

Build quality is great. It feels lightweight, but completely stable and well made.

Value:

Cannot do better for that price. I have compared this guitar to others well over its price and still found it preferable in overall feel and sound.

Overall:

Musiciansfriend needs to turn the rating system up to 11 to represent all the glory that this guitar exudes.

SPAIN OR CHINA?

| Review By: ECSMS | 5 months, 2 weeks ago

1 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

Some missing features could be incorporated to the instrument without increase costs such as the small white dot mark on the neck in the fifth fret, both to be seen from above and front. It helps a lot to positioning hands on the neck and locate the right notes.

Quality:

The wood is basic and helps to produce a vibrant sound especially in the range of middle and high frequencies. The buzz still an issue. I hope the issue decreases when replacing strings. By the way, the guitar comes with Dadario strings which plays very well.

Value:

A great deal for the price, but I'm still confusing whether the instrument was crafted in Spain or China. Both informations are present and if it is a chinese instrument the price is quite reasonable, but if the instrument in made in Spain, it is a great bargain for the price. I believe that the instrument is made in China.

Overall:

The instrument is a great option for beginners and those not so much perfectionist, although the finishing is very good, but the sound could be better. Indian wood doesn't sound better than Brazilian wood for classical guitars.

Now Made in CHINA

| Review By: Experienced Buyer | 5 months, 3 weeks ago

4 people out of 8 found this review helpful

Features:

Features are the same as any other classical guitar's.

Quality:

Poor detailing, finish chips all over the string mouths on the head, sharp fret grinding residues around the soundhole relief, bad dead spots in unfortunate ranges.  Top wood is of decent quality, but that's the only strong point on the instrument.

Value:

If one wants a Chinese-made instrument, there are better ones at the price.

Overall:

Now downsourced to China, but the MSRP remains the same.  I bought this instrument because the  previous reviews state unequivocally that it is made in SPAIN.  Previous production was, but no longer, and the quality has badly suffered.  This is just a very mediocre Chinese mill instrument with the Manuel Rodriguez name -- but not the Manuel Rodriguez quality.
