Overview
The Manuel Rodriguez Superior A-S is a premium full-size 4/4 classical guitar that fuses Spanish tradition with top-tier tonewoods and advanced player-focused features. Its solid spruce top produces a bright, articulate tone with excellent projection, complemented by bubinga back and sides that add rich overtones and striking visual appeal. The mahogany neck is reinforced with ebony for exceptional stability, while the ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, responsive playing surface. Built with genuine Spanish heel construction, the A-S delivers outstanding resonance and sustain.
A standout detail is the 12-hole “Moreno” Indian rosewood bridge, engineered for an improved string break angle and enhanced tonal clarity. This is paired with a compensated vintage bone nut and saddle for precise intonation. Comfort and projection are further improved by a factory-fitted GEWA armrest, reducing forearm damping. Finished in a high-gloss, eco-friendly polyurethane lacquer, the A-S features real wood binding, multi-ply purfling, and gold-plated lyra-style tuners. Strung with Hannabach 815HTC Silver Special high-tension strings with carbon trebles, it offers a crisp, powerful sound ideal for advanced players.
