Angel Benito Aguado 2019 “Estudio” – powerful guitar with great depth of tone – easy to play!
Born in Madrid, Spain, in 1949, Angel Benito Aguado began learning the fundamentals of wood working when he was but a young boy. At age 12, he built his first guitar (though he admits it was a poor affair). However, by the time he was twenty-five, he had established himself as professional guitar maker.
He collaborated early in his making career with Jose Miguel Moreno and his wife Lourdes. Out of this early collaboration date many of the early music guitars, but the early music clarity and sensitivity carries over into the building of his contemporary guitars such as the Marizapalos, Marieta and Espanoleta.
His guitars are all incredibly easy to play on the left hand and incredibly musical.
They are well-tuned and balanced. The notes cascade and “play nicely” with each other with a tinkling musicality that is refreshing; add to this the ease of playing and this becomes an enchanting guitar that you can just let your fingers drift up and down the fretboard, even on the difficult pieces you’re still trying to bed down.
This “Estudio” is one of Angle Benito Aguado creations, made entirely by hand and inspired by the Madrid school of guitar building. This model uses the low bridge of the Madrid school, and traditional bracing.
It is a very nice sounding guitar. Powerful with great depth of tone, wonderful, deep, rich resonant basses that are nicely balanced against full rounded trebles. It sings even in the highest registers. It has a huge amount of complexity of tone colour.
It is an exceptional instrument which we thought would appeal to players, to enjoy the lyricism of this guitar.
It should be noted that the top on this guitar is made with German spruce, giving its tone a crystalline clarity of sound. Back and sides are of very nice mahogany. The scale length is 630 mm and the nut witdth 50 mm.
