Player Reviews:
"This is one powerful guitar. Just a few minutes on this one and you realize why Rodriguez guitars are known for volume and dynamic range. This one we re-topped in 1988 by Manuel Rodriguez and has a fully compensated saddle, perhaps customized for an important client? It certainly is a wonderful guitar full of life and music." - Paul Heumiller
