An Anniversary Edition Celebrating Over a Century of Spanish Luthiery
The Superior Anniversario 120 J-SBE 2025 pays tribute to the Manuel Rodríguez heritage, one of Madrid's historic workshops. This anniversary series sits at the top of the "Superior" range, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern details designed for stage and studio. Each instrument celebrates expertise passed down through three generations.
For Whom and Which Styles?
With its 52 mm nut width and standard concert scale length, this classical guitar is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking precision and comfort. It excels in the classical repertoire (Baroque, Romantic, contemporary), Latin colors, and bossa nova, while remaining convincing for fingerstyle nylon playing thanks to its quick and articulate response.
Sound Characteristics
The solid spruce top offers attack, definition, and a wide dynamic range. The birdseye maple back and sides provide tight bass, focused mids, and bright trebles for a clear and elegant register. The 12-hole bridge improves break angle and intonation stability, while the natural bone nuts maximize vibration transmission. The armrest preserves the soundboard's freedom, enhancing projection and sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Protect the instrument with a hard case or padded gig bag sized for a 4/4 classical guitar. To maintain the original tone, choose classical string sets with a 650 mm scale length (including Hannabach 815HTC, carbon trebles). A classical guitar capo with a flat fretboard surface will ensure uniform tuning across the neck. Finally, a classical guitar humidifier is highly recommended to stabilize the instrument's humidity.
