Manuel Rodriguez - The Art and Craft of Making Classical Guitars

Rich in beauty, sound and history, Manuel Rodríguez and Sons' classical and flamenco guitars have been lovingly hand-crafted in Madrid since 1905. The company's remarkable creations are just as acclaimed today, capturing the 2000 Player's Choice Award from Acoustic Guitar magazine for its nylon-string model.

The Art and Craft of Making Classical Guitars presents master luthier Manuel Rodríguez's thoughts on the history of the instrument he loves, and how the guitar attained its prominent position among musical instruments. Filled with fabulous historical photos, priceless memorabilia, abundant diagrams and more, the book covers topics such as the art and development of the guitar, materials used in construction, and much more.
Essential for all admirers of the guitar.
