From Madrid Tradition to the Modern Stage
Born within the Manuel Rodriguez workshop founded in Madrid in 1905, the Superior ES-CC embodies the balance between Spanish lutherie and current demands. This model from the "Superior" series focuses on meticulous construction (solid top, Spanish heel) and performance-oriented choices (thinned body, cutaway, integrated electronics) for a stage-ready guitar.
For Which Musician and Styles?
The ES-CC is aimed at classical guitarists seeking an easy-to-amplify guitar and "crossover" musicians looking for a narrower neck. It excels in acoustic pop, bossa, Latin jazz, contemporary music, light flamenco, and amplified fingerstyle, while remaining comfortable for technical work and accompaniment.
Sound
The solid spruce top delivers attack, clarity, and dynamics, while the pommele eucalyptus provides clear midrange and direct projection. The 70 mm flat body reduces feedback risk and focuses the register for a precise sound at the pickup. The 12-hole bridge and bone nuts optimize string angle, transmission, and sustain. The ARTEC SQ-3 preamp and its under-saddle pickup reproduce clean articulation and allow tone adjustment according to the stage and mix.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Replacement set of Hannabach 815HTC Silver-Special strings (high tension, carbon trebles) to maintain the same feel and balance. Flat classical guitar capo (non-radius fingerboard). Hard case or 4/4 classical guitar gig bag adapted to the thinned body. A soundboard or rosette humidifier is recommended to stabilize the solid spruce top.
