About Manuel Rodriguez guitars:
For over 115 years "Guitarras Manuel Rodriguez" has been making instruments in the style of the Madrid School of guitar making. Founded in Madrid in 1905, it is Spain's second oldest guitar manufacturing company.
The Ecologia series harks back to the traditions of European guitar making of the great-grandfathers. At that time, tonewood that grew nearby and was available was used. It was only much later that the international timber trade, including tropical woods, replaced the local woods that had been used for decades. The Ecologia series is essentially based on these old traditions and is therefore ecologically up to date. Not a single tropical wood is involved. Instead, European woods such as spruce, walnut, maple and acacia are used.
