[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]
This is a replica of a 19th century Romantic guitar by Angel Benito Aguado, with an inscription on the label stating that it is a faithful copy of one in the collection of the National Archaeological Museum (the author of the original model is unknown).
The top is made of spruce, the back and sides of flame maple, the sound board has a matte oil finish, and the side back board has a shellac finish. The overall sound is tight and has a strong core, making it an attractive piece.
