Classical Guitar Manuel Rodríguez Ecologia E-65 Spruce Walnut Matte

The Manuel Rodriguez Ecología E-65 classical guitar is an affordable guitar made for musicians who  care as much about their music as they care about their environment.

The Ecología series follows the ancestral tradition of making guitars with the wood that was available on the builders' doorstep. It was only much later that the international trade in wood replaced local woods (proven for decades in the construction of instruments) with woods from other sources.

Manuel Rodriguez recovered this tradition to recover the environment. This environmentally responsible series uses European hardwoods such as spruce, walnut and maple. Not a single tropical wood is used, acacia being the only exotic species, but it is very common in Europe.

As they are all within a short distance, they have a lower environmental impact, reducing distances and transport requirements.

Manuel Rodriguez Ecologia E-65 follows these principles in a simple model at a very affordable price. The top is in solid spruce and the back and sides are in walnut. The fingerboard and bridge are in acacia. The finish is matte, using an environmentally friendly water-based product.

The construction follows the Spanish tradition, and the sound is as traditional as can be expected. The Ecologia E-65 is a very affordable guitar for musicians of all levels and with an excellent quality/price ratio.

Rodríguez guitars have a rich history, founded on the best tradition of Spanish guitars. Manuel Rodríguez Pérez, grandson of a flamenco guitarist and son of a classical luthier, started building his first guitars at just 13 years old. At 18 he was a respected professional, and his guitars were exported all over Europe and the United States, the country where he moved, and where his instruments were much appreciated by the cream of Hollywood.

The tradition and respect for the history of Rodriguez guitars is maintained by his descendants. Famous for classic models made from exotic woods, the brand has taken a more eco-friendly approach. Today, they follow the best practices of environmental sustainability, manufacturing high quality instruments at affordable prices.
