The Manuel Rodriguez Academia EX SS EA, Spruce Rosewood Electro has a gloss finish and and also features a special arm reast for added comfort and also to help keep contact with the top during playing to a minimum and thus increasing the performance of the top without inhibiting the transfer of energy of string to sound board. Conforming to all the classic design elements you would want for a serious European made classical guitar, the combination of Spruce top with Rosewood back and sides is an especially good choice of those who want to record or play live through a suitable sound system. We feel this Manuel Rodriguez Academia EX SS EA is one of the stars of the show and really like the option to plug in and perform. Its an exceptional choice for those looking to move up from a basic student model to one that just offers a better all round and player focused performance.

ACADEMIA is the first series in the Manuel Rodríguez range to feature the original Spanish heel, the royal class in guitar making. With this special construction method, the one-piece neck extends into the body and is directly connected to the sides, back and top. This not only ensures enormous stability, but also optimal vibration transmission, faster response and longer sustain.
The heart of a Spanish guitar.

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 feel and allows the top to vibrate freely over the entire surface, as it prevents damping by the right arm being placed on top.

German-made Hannabach 815HTC strings are factory-wound and perfectly round off the tonal quality of this series.
