For more than 115 years,  GUITARRAS MANUEL RODRÍGUEZ  has been making instruments in the tradition of the Madrid School of Spanish guitar making. The  family business  was founded in Madrid in 1905, making it the second oldest guitar manufacturer south of the Pyrenees. Todays Luthier  Manuel Rodríguez III  grew up in California and Spain and is already the third generation to practise his craft. The cosmopolitan way of life that so characterises Manuel is reflected in each and every instrument. Their unique grace and  unmistakable sound  result from the skilful combination of the tradition and modernity of the  craft , the history and future of music, and the craftsmanship and experience of the builders.
