[Profile]
Born in Madrid, Spain in 1949. He first made his living as a furniture maker, but in his mid-twenties he turned to guitar making. His collaboration with Jose Miguel Moreno, a Spanish virtuoso of ancient music performance, has been extremely important in his career. This
collaboration deepened his knowledge of ancient instruments such as the vihuela,lute,theorbo, and baroque guitar, and he developed his work in a way that traces the Spanish guitar tradition through Torres to the present day. While his devotion to Torres is evident, his
guitars, which are not exact replicas but rather the result of his own research,are favored by guitarists who love the traditional sound of the guitar.
[Description]
Angel Benito Aguado's Estudio model made in 2008 is now in stock. This model is a part of the Student Series, which is a lineup along with the Concert Series for professionals and the Early Guitars Series that is based on the research of historical masterpieces. The
sound board is made of spruce, and the back and sides are Indian rosewood. The sound has a Spanish Madrid style (especially after Ramirez III), with a profound and lustrous sound and rich expressiveness.
There are some minor scratches and dings around the soundhole and on the bottom,and the back has a bump along the grain near the heel, but it has not yet cracked. There are no problems with continued use as long as the instrument is used in an appropriate environment.
