Overview
The Manuel Rodríguez Tradición T-44 is a finely handcrafted ¼-size classical guitar, perfectly designed for children aged 4–7. Featuring a solid red cedar top and mahogany back and sides, it delivers a warm, balanced tone that’s remarkable for its size. Built with a traditional dovetail neck–body joint, this guitar offers superior resonance and stability. Premium materials such as an ovangkol fingerboard and bridge, paired with Hannabach high-tension carbon strings, ensure a responsive playing experience that reflects true Spanish craftsmanship.
Finished in an eco-friendly, open-pore silk matte lacquer, the T-44 showcases elegant maple binding, a detailed wooden rosette, and nickel-plated Van Gent tuners. Ideal for early musical education or as a collector’s piece, it blends tradition, playability, and refined aesthetics.
