The Story
The Manuel Rodriguez E-65 Ecología Classical Guitar blends traditional European craftsmanship with a modern commitment to sustainability. As part of the Ecología series, this guitar is built using only locally sourced European tonewoods—such as spruce, walnut, maple, and acacia—intentionally avoiding tropical woods to reduce environmental impact. The result is an instrument that honors the heritage of Spanish luthiery while meeting the ethical and ecological standards of today’s musicians.
Featuring a solid spruce top for clear articulation and dynamic range, and laminated walnut back and sides for warmth and projection, the E-65 delivers a rich and balanced tone ideal for classical repertoire. The acacia fingerboard and bridge provide durability and smooth playability, while the water-based ecological matte finish enhances both resonance and environmental consciousness. Handcrafted in Europe by luthier Manuel Rodriguez III, this guitar offers excellent value for those seeking tone, tradition, and responsibility in one inspiring instrument.
