I did not have access to a music store where I could try out various classical guitars. I had to order online, so I researched and I made my decision based on the company's reputation and reviews for this guitar that I read online (all over the place - inc. YouTube). I considered a Cordoba model in the same price range (I assumed +/-$300 would be a good range for a decent starter guitar), but the reviews for this one were sightly better and more consistent. I was a bit nervous ... I was clueless about what I wanted/needed, and was buying something sight unseen, and more importantly for a musical instrument, unheard! I ordered from Musician's Friend, and my guitar and case arrived very quickly and very safely.. it was well packaged.. I was worried because boxes do not always make it through the APO/DPO mail system so easily, but this was securely packed. They even packed the guitar (ordered separately) into the gig bag I chose, which was put into the guitar's box, which in turn was packed into a larger box and padded well! As for the guitar itself - I don't have much experience at all with comparing instruments (brands, prices, quality, whatever), so take my review with that in mind, but, I can tell when something sounds nice, and, as the daughter of a good carpenter, can tell when things are assembled sloppily! The guitar is beautiful! A close visual inspection showed all edges, frets, metal work, etc. were very nicely joined, no glue or paint or weird bits out of line. The wood is very pretty. The finish is glossy and even, the metal work and inlay on the headstock are decorative and well made too. Even the inside of the guitar looks nicely assembled. The tone is mellow, rich and quite lovely. Just tapping the body of the instrument produces a nice tone. It plays nicely and it's truly a joy to listen to... especially when my teacher tuned it up and played a couple of songs on it! (my playing is not so lovely, but that's not the guitar's fault). I don't have the experience with judging various guitars, but when my instructor looked it over he was very impressed with my instrument, congratulated me enthusiastically, and was amazed at how little I'd paid for it. **update** I've had this guitar for over a year now and am still just as enthused with it as I was when it first arrived. It holds a tune very well... despite being kept out on a stand where my kids (everybody) can walk by and strum the strings just to hear the pretty tones! The finish is just as lovely and everything has held up very well. The only thing I have altered is to apply small stickers on the side of the neck to mark the 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc. frets to help me with my lessons. I used nice fingernail decals as they are small, stick well, and are decorative. I love this guitar! Review: Spain or China? - How can you tell if made in Spain or China? My C11 has no made in China stickers. ## Features - Top: Solid Canadian Cedar Back & Sides: Laminated Bubinga Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood Bridge: Sapele Neck: Sapele Tuner - Nickel Plated (Standard) Headstock: Indian Rosewood Nut & Saddle: Tusq Graphite Body Binding: One Rosewood ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001R2HOH2 | | Back Material Type | Bubinga | | Best Sellers Rank | #215,211 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #307 in Classical & Nylon-String Guitars | | Body Material Type | Bubinga | | Brand Name | LUTHIER MANUEL RODRÍGUEZ | | Color | Nickel | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (10) | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | not included | | Item Weight | 2.4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Manuel Rodriguez | | Manufacturer Part Number | GUITARRA MOD.C11 | | Model Number | GUITARRA MOD.C11 | | Neck Material Type | sapele | | Number of Strings | 6 | | String Material Type | Nickel | | Top Material Type | Cedar Wood | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Bubinga - **Body Material:** Bubinga - **Brand:** LUTHIER MANUEL RODRÍGUEZ - **Color:** Nickel - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Bridge System:** Fixed - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** sapele - **String Material Type:** Nickel - **Top Material Type:** Cedar Wood ## Images ![Manuel Rodriguez Caballero 11 Cedar Top Classical Guitar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61p-ICSGViL.jpg) ![Manuel Rodriguez Caballero 11 Cedar Top Classical Guitar - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oqrWKfPhL.jpg) ![Manuel Rodriguez Caballero 11 Cedar Top Classical Guitar - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LadRg7z4L.jpg) ![Manuel Rodriguez Caballero 11 Cedar Top Classical Guitar - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eWbGQGhKL.jpg) ![Manuel Rodriguez Caballero 11 Cedar Top Classical Guitar - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IdSN0FeNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the guitar made in Spain/** A: Yes, the C11 is made in Spain **Q: Is it made in Spain and is there tax, as I live in California?** A: It is made in Spain.

My C11 has no made in China stickers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow *by R***Z on January 24, 2012* The only guitar I have ever played that beats this one was my grandmother's authentic Spanish guitar made in andalucía, Spain. This is a terrific guitar. The guitar's sound is magnificent. When I first got it, my teacher thought I had spent a thousand dollars in this guitar. This is truly my favorite guitar of three: a fender, a jasmine, and this one. Although the fender was more expensive, this one is truly my favorite. ## Frequently Bought Together - Manuel Rodriguez Caballero 11 Cedar Top Classical Guitar - D'Addario Guitar Strings - Pro-Arte Classical Guitar Strings - EJ46 - Nylon Guitar Strings - Silver Plated Wound, Nylon Core - Hard Tension, 1-Pack - WINGO Classical Flat Guitar Capo for Nylon String Guitars-Rosewood Finish with 5 Picks. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11235735-manuel-rodriguez-caballero-11-cedar-top-classical-guitar](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11235735-manuel-rodriguez-caballero-11-cedar-top-classical-guitar) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
