I will send guitars on approval. Shipping and insurance costs are paid by the prospective buyer. I also require a check covering the cost of the guitar which will be returned if the customer decides against purchase.
Under certain circumstances returns will not be accepted.
If you are interested in a guitar, please call or email me. I prefer a call because I like to get to know the people who buy guitars from me. It is a big decision and I make it a point to satisfy my clients.
If you are looking for something I don't have, let me know and I will do my best to find it.

Fine and Rare Guitars is dedicated to bringing the finest classical and flamenco guitars to players and collectors. Every instrument, including the student models, is selected by me.
My priorities are quality of sound, playability and condition.
Having lived for twenty-six years in Europe, I have had the great fortune of experiencing a vast number of guitars from makers the world over. I have procured guitars for important collections such as that of Sheldon Urlik. In addition, some well-known players have benefited as a result of a purchase from me.
My many connections can also help me find a specific guitar for you that may not be in my inventory at the present time. If you would like to sell an instrument, contact me with full details.
It is important to me that my clients are satisfied. Buying a fine guitar is an important and personal decision. Whether you are a novice or a professional, I will do all I can to make sure your guitar purchased from me is the right one.

In 1971 I traveled to Spain to study guitar. I spoke no Spanish and knew no one. Within two days I had met the famous guitar maker Paulino Bernabé, who became a close friend. I asked his advice about who was the best teacher in Madrid and he said without hesitation, Regino Sainz de la Maza. Paulino called him and arranged an audition. My playing was quite poor, but somehow Don Regino accepted me as a pupil. I studied with him for seven years. It was a great privilege to have had his guidance.
I got to know most of the guitar makers in Madrid; Bernabé, Hernández y Aguado, Arcángel Fernández, Ramírez, to name a few. I spent a great deal of time in Bernabé's shop at Cuchilleros 8 in Madrid watching him build quality guitars. The education and insight has proven invaluable.

In 1979 I went on a short trip to Germany and was offered a teaching position at a city music school in Wasserburg am Inn. I did a lot of teaching and performing. Through a friend I met a very fine guitarist, Thomas Königs, who became my duo partner. We worked exceptionally well together and in addition to performing concerts we recorded a CD of Spanish music for Aurophone.
It was during my sojourn in Germany that I began dealing in fine guitars, a business that I continue to expand. My experience as a player and dealer leads me to seek out the finest guitars for the money I can find. I consider myself a caretaker of these wonderful instruments. It is a responsibility I do not take lightly.
Finally, in the fall of 1998 I returned to Iowa, where I grew up. The move was rather traumatic, but we have adjusted and have met some wonderful people. Who knows where the future will take us? One thing is sure - I will always have a few fine guitars around.

Miguel Rodríguez, 1980
“This is without doubt the finest spruce Rodríguez I have ever played. It is very powerful and at the same time lyrical. The basses are deep and sonorous, the trebles are full with long sustain, not common in Rodríguez. It is very easy to play and responds immediately to the slightest variation of touch”
