After his father, Manuel, Jr. returned to Spain from America he had a nice shop in Calle Hortaleza in Madrid. I visited there some time in the late 1970s-early 1980s. He sold a number of factory instruments, but also some concert level luthier made guitars, with his own signature on the label. After Rodriguez, Jr. and Rodriguez III set up the factory near Toledo and expanded their production considerably, the daughter of one of my best friends worked for them as accountant, then financial controller. She said the Rodriguez were very nice people to work for. At the time I was buying a few 1a classicals from Jose Ramirez III at Concepcion Jeronima 2, and selling them in the USA. Bernabe's shop was then in the Arcos de Cuchilleros, just off the Plaza Mayor; Contreras was on Calle Mayor, close to the royal palace and the Conservatorio; Manzanero was in the Calle Santa Ana where he still is; and Camacho was a bit further away. in those days I preferred Ramirez' classicals to the others in Madrid, but in 1991 I made the rounds of the main shops in Madrid, and selected a Contreras which I still have.
