While I Madrid 2 weeks ago I bought an Angel Benito Aguado 630 scale for a client in WA and saw another 630 being finished, an Antonio Torres concert guitar.

I was surprised since after 20 years of buying his guitars Angel is pretty much retired, but this Torres is obviously a passion project.

High end concert guitars in 630 scale are so rare I took some photos in Angel’s workshop and also had a short demo recorded.

 Assessment

This Torres is unique with a lot of attention to detail and extremely easy to play with a very fluid set up, despite being short scale was resonant canon with a lot of beauty in the note and full of charm

 About the Maker

Ferociously intelligent and detail oriented, Angel’s guitars are a pleasure to play and sound excellent even in the shorter scales lengths of 630, 640 right down to 620.

I was impressed the first time I arrived at Angel’s workshop to find how well-tuned and balanced Angel’s creations are.

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.
