Article – The Genius of Miguel Rodriguez.
Miguel Rodriguez Jnr was born on 1st of November 1921 in Cordoba Spain; he was one of twin sons of the well respected luthier Miguel Rodriguez Beneyto (Miguel Rodriguez Snr) and Josefa Serrano Sanchez. He learned guitar making from his father and took over the workshop, when his father died in 1975. The workshop was located at calle Alfaros, 15, Cordoba, Spain. Miguel Snr was taught guitar construction by Rafael Casana. Casana was taught by Jose Ramirez the 1st, founder of the Madrid based Ramirez dynasty. Miguel Jnr was married to Rafaela Alamo. He died on 16th of October 1998. Miguel Jnr had two sons, but I can find no reference to either being involved in guitar making. Miguel’s twin brother Rafael Rodriguez was also an extremely gifted luthier until his untimely and tragic death in 1965.
