1980 Miguel Rodriguez CD/PR

Sound is massive and full with excellent sustain and very fast response – all hallmarks of a superior Rodriguez are present here in this instrument. It is also very easy to play – even with the longer scale, the shape and contour of the neck makes it extraordinarily easy on the left hand. Many years ago Yuris Zeltins repaired 3 hairline cracks in the top, which are still nearly invisible to the present day - he also added a Miguel Rodriguez style clear taplate (with notched corner). Materials are beautiful as well – most notably, sides are of palo rosa (pink rosewood), a lightweight hardwood that is spectacular for guitar response on tone. This guitar is simply spectacular – an elite sounding instrument from his output. Very desirable for every reason – its quality of sound and aesthetic beauty – collector and performer alike will find this to be an extremely exciting instrument to own and play.
