Members DarkHorseJ27 Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm not as knowledgeable when it comes to nylon string guitars. I've been interested in nylon strings for a while, but have yet to get one. Is this one worth the price?: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Rodriguez-Caballero-11-Cedar-Top-Classical-Guitar?sku=514319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hudman Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Opinions will vary, but I am unimpressed with all of the Rodriguez models under $700. I also don't like the Cordoba models in the sub $700 range. I spent a lot of time shopping for classical guitars. Yamaha makes the best classical guitars in the sub $500 range. Godin's La Patrie classical guitars come in a very close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarVlog Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 I don't like the Rodriguez models that are below the C or C3 (those are the A, B and Caballeros). Even so, I think these guitars are overpriced. I think the 2007 Cordoba Iberia models (which are under $700) which are made in China are better than the pre-2007 Iberia models which were sloppily made in Portugal. These are completely different guitars if you look inside. However, quality control is not as good as LaPatrie or Yamaha so I'd prefer to play before I buy. I wouldn't rule them out completely. +1 on the Yamahas and LaPatries. I'd have more confidence buying a Yamaha without having played it ... but I still strongly prefer to play before I buy. My order of recommendation for $250 nylon stringed guitars bought new: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitarski27 Posted December 31, 2010 Members Share Posted December 31, 2010 BTW - I picked up a C-4 in Madrid about 14 years ago, but I can't find any information anywhere on a C-4. Can anyone tell me about it or where I can find info on a Manuel Rodriguez Caballero C-4. It is numbered: 000478 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
