Manuel Rodriguez Magistral F-C

I received my Rodriguez Magistral FC guitar one month ago. The delivery was fast, and the guitar was very well protected during shipping.

The wood finish is beautiful and reflects careful craftsmanship. However, I was unfortunately disappointed by a few details. The GEWA armrest glued to the guitar in a very poor finish, and the tuning machines squeak, which is not what I would expect from a high-end instrument.

In terms of sound, the guitar offers a well-balanced tone and is very comfortable to play. However, I decided to replace the original high-tension strings with normal-tension strings. The result was very satisfying: the sound became even warmer, and the guitar became easier to play.

This guitar is classified as a concert instrument and certainly has good tonal potential. However, in my opinion, its volume is somewhat limited for a guitar intended for concert performance. I feel that it lacks the projection needed to fully meet the demands of this category.

Overall, it is an enjoyable guitar to play, with a beautiful sound and considerable potential.
