We are proud to be able to offer this handmade instrument from the Spanish luthier Angel Benito Aguado. Although his concert classical guitars are inspired by those of Antonio Torres (1817-1892), they are not copies. Although he has drunk deeply from the work of Torres and Madrid school of guitar makers,  he has developed his own unique bracing system. Aside from exquisite workmanship, his classical guitars possess a rich, refined tone, and are wonderfully playable. This guitar is powerful, the basses are full bodied and rich. The trebles sing even in the highest registers. It has a decidedly Spanish, dark tonality, great sustain, wonderful balance, intonation and evenness of tone. [Note what looks to be a tap plate in the photo is actually a temporary static cling-on protector to guard the guitar from being scratched when demonstrated].
