I also have a great respect for the noble guitars of Manuel Hernandez and Victoriano Aguado, who operated out of a tiny workshop in the antique quarter of Madrid, their best period being from the early '60's through to the early '70's, when Aguado retired.

 

H y A instruments, I feel, are the most beautifully elegant guitars both in appearance and sound, and they represent the pinnacle of Spanish guitar making in it's most traditional form.
