Not sure how to delete this post - sorry!
========================================================================
- Type: Classical guitar, probably Manuel Rodriguez FC (see note below)
- Scale length (mm): 650mm
- Top: Cedar
- Back / Sides: Indian Rosewood (Solid)
- Fingerboard / (bridge): Ebony fingerboard. Rosewood bridge - possibly Brazilian, not 100% sure
- Sound: I would describe the sound as rich and warm, with good presence, and a powerful midrange. It is quite a loud guitar.
- Condition: Generally good, although obviously used, with a minor nicks/scratches here and there. There is also a fairly deep gouge in the base about an inch long which I have attempted to photograph. This isn't a structural problem as it is well supported by the end-block here.
- Price: £350 (+ postage if required)
- Viewing / trial possible: I am in Oxford UK but will post to anywhere in the UK. Trial is available by arrangement.
This is a great mid-range classical guitar, which has a particularly rich and colourful tone (imo). It is made of good quality woods, with a very nice tight-grained cedar top and beautifully straight-grained indian rosewood back and sides. The neck has an ebony reinforcement strip down the back which helps ensure stability.
Unfortunately this guitar is missing it's label so I am not sure of its age, however I am fairly sure it is a Manuel Rodriguez FC model. There are some good photographs of this model here:

Note the rosette and purfling on this close up matches my guitar exactly:

As does the bridge, headstock, woods etc.
I suspect the guitar may be 10+ years old but that is a wild guess!
I believe the lack of label and the general condition are reflected fairly in the price (£350)
Any questions please ask.
I feel cheeky posting a for sale message as my "first" post - I have actually posted several times before but my account has been deleted because of underuse recently.
