This new addition to the Rodriguez family of instruments provides incredible projection and crisp, cutting tone through the use of a Solid Sapele back and sides and a Solid Cedar top. Gold-plated tuners and Silver-plated frets are installed to last a lifetime. The body binding and wood rosette are exquisite. The Rodriguez C Sapele Guitar is handcrafted - from the invisible sanding, even inside the body, that ensures the finished instrument's purity of tone, to the beautifully unique rosette inlays around the soundhole, each Rodriguez guitar is a credit to its luthier and worthy of being handed down from one generation to another.
