Manuel Rodriguez Academia 40-C 4/4 Classical Guitar Cedar Gloss w/ Armrest

Overview

The Manuel Rodriguez Academia 40-C is a premium full-size 4/4 classical guitar that combines refined Spanish craftsmanship with modern performance features. Featuring a solid cedar top and exotic zebrano back and sides, it produces a warm, resonant tone with impressive projection. Its genuine Spanish heel construction enhances tonal depth and sustain, while the mahogany neck with ovangkol fingerboard and bridge provides smooth playability. A factory-fitted GEWA armrest increases comfort and reduces damping during performance. Finished in a high-gloss, eco-friendly polyurethane lacquer, this guitar is visually striking and built for serious players. Gold-plated lyra-style tuners with black accents add an elegant touch, and the instrument comes strung with Hannabach 815HTC Silver Special high-tension carbon-treble strings for brightness and clarity.
